Webcam Locations

Holy Cow! A topic I started got more than one reply! I'm moving up in this world!

I think the camera should be in top thrill dragsters station

I think the observation deck at shoot the rapids has one of the most interesting dynamic views in the park, well suited for a live cam.

Great action both in the foreground as well as the background.

Views of Milli, Magnum, Mantis,Gemini, Windseeker, Power Tower, Trains, and people on deck using water blasters at the Rapids riders, and if properly aligned and at the right angle maybe even able to have Gatekeeper at the very back of shot.

I like the beach cam idea but put it on Magnum's second hill, viewing the beach all the way down. Also, the first hill on Mean Streak having a cam pointed towards Frontier Town/Maverick would be cool as well. Last but not least, I would love to see one mounted on the side of one of Sky Ride's cabins. If placed properly on the outside of one, the view would change constantly and you'd be able to see both sides of the park sometimes. The last one is highly unlikely and logistically difficult, I imagine, so just wishful thinking on my part.

The webcams have to be able to be reached easily to cleaned, as said on the blot.

It would be nice if they were all live streaming HD webcams!

I would imagine on a Sky Ride cabin would be easy...they do come into a staion all the time. Definitely not any harder than the top of Dragster to get to. The top of Millie would be a good place for one, as well. Any lift hill is easily reached. They inspect the rides daily. The second hill on Magnum would be difficult for that reason but it would still be a great vantage point.

I dont like the ones high up. At every time during the day it is always the same picture (unless it is foggy or cloudy). I would like a webcam near Maverick, one by Gemini, one no top of the front gate pointing into the park, and the live cam facing the Gatekeeper Plaza.

I say leave the Dragster cam where it is and keep it pointing toward the front.
Put one on Midway Carousel facing the front gate flyover.
Put one on maXair's doghouse or the games building pointing toward Gatekeeper's plaza and lift.
Put one near the Magnum gate intersection pointing up the Gemini midway toward Frontiertown.

JW Addington,
That requires bandwidth, and bandwidth cost money. However, I did enjoy the live cam last year.
