Ummm you couldn't say this in one of the other 1,232,324,745,574,001 threads?

At least give us a link too.

No, i wanted it in big bold letters on the front so everyone could see it without going into a thread because it's time sensitive, I wanted people to see it BEING put in place, up close because it's the best view most of us will ever have. So i couldn't post it in another thread. 300 people viewed this in 45 minutes, that couldn't happen in another thread.

Sorry, I figured everyone knew where to get the webcam from

PS. No offense I've been here WAY longer than you, I know how the site works, I've known the rules much longer than you've probably even known of Pointbuzz or Guide to the Point, don't be so quick to jump on people... it makes as much noise or more as people who are posting random crap. *** Edited 8/21/2006 10:08:59 PM UTC by liebevision***

Wow, the cam is looking very crisp and clear!!! I love it.

Ok the cedar point camera is archived as of now, so there really isn't anything else to see, Walt, when you see this please close it and let me know if you want the screencaps, they turned out great, and I have them in sequentical order in a zip file. *** Edited 8/21/2006 10:07:05 PM UTC by liebevision***

Although the Cedar Point website shows the webcam from 6am to 6pm, I know from running my image capture program that it actualy runs from 6am to 8pm.

Really? Because the image I have hasen't changed since 6, and I've left and reloaded the website. Are you runing it today? *** Edited 8/21/2006 10:19:05 PM UTC by liebevision***

Set the following weblink as your active desktop and you can refresh it up until 8pm.

If you save the pic from their website after 6pm, you'll notice the word archive in the link. So no matter how often you reload it, it's just going to show you the same picture.

Wow. That is a nice crisp view of the track. Judging from MS in the background it doesn't look like its very tall, but steep nonetheless.

Thanks so much. I didn't know it kept refreshing till 8

Yeah, there was activity until about 15 minutes ago.

Makes you wonder why the have it archived after 6 PM

Or why they continue to run it 'til 8pm with no activity going on.

maybe in the future they might do work untill 8pm?

I keep refreshing that image and the clouds don't even move. Does it still only show updated info every 60 seconds?

after the last image refreshed the clouds moved in my image

I still don't get how to do it.

S.Africa, typicaly in contracting if your working past 3:30, it's overtime. The less overtime you have to work, the more the contractor will make. Unless your lucky enough to have a Time and Material contract. But your not going to see that on a project of this size unless it's just a work order for a change in the scope in work. Based on the fact that they have worked a number of Saturdays and obviously had days where they worked more than 8 hours, I would say that they either had overtime figured in the job, or they were falling behind schedule and had to absorb the overtime to keep the project on track for certain deadlines.

And yes the pic only updates every 60 seconds. Stay tuned, I'll have a timelapse video of the day posted later.
