Oh... my...

I wonder if that would pose a safety risk... people might try and look for the webcam and make faces in it??

If it was out of reach and if the passing train were not in view, I think that'd be do-able, and interesting to see from.

It would probably be pointed at Millennium Force. Then maybe they'd put a camera on Millennium Force pointing at Top Thrill Dragster. That would be kinda cool.

In general, I don't really care for web cams from that high up. The image ends up looking like a static picture. I'd rather see cameras positioned where the image is dynamic and changing.

I think it'd be foolish to waste your few precious seconds above 400 feet looking for a stupid webcam to make a face, when you could be enjoying the ride and the view. Just my opinion though...

And what would be the chance that the web cam would be taking it's minute (or mabey 10sec. like on some of the web cams) picture the second you would be looking in the web cam.

I think it would be cool if they had a webcam at the top of TTD pointing in the direction of the train as it passes over the top. The part that would make it really cool, is if the webcam took shots when the train passes a sensor at the top, Then you would be updates of new trains and riders ever minute. I don't know how realistic it would be, but it sounds cool.

I still want one of those panoramic...or 360 degree cams, so you can see the whole park.

I agree... Something like the Midway Cam on cleveland.com would be cool -- you can actually see the guests milling about in real time.

I agree with what Lee said. The "Raptor cam" last season on Clevelend.com was awesome because it not only showed Raptor going by every 1:10 or so, but showed guests walking on the midway. I always said that all Six Flags employees should go to that webcam to learn the concept of interval! :)
