Webcams??

All this talk about the webcams got me to thinking about all the different places they've been located. See if you all remember or can add to this list I've come up with.

MF construction (I specifically remember one cam that was aimed at the entrance/exit of one of the tunnels- I think it was aimed at the entrance to the first one but I could be wrong)

MF Layout

Main Midway (called Demon Drop Cam)

TTD Construction a.k.a. "Peeing-worker-cam" (which later stayed in position to show riders exiting)

Top of TTD

TTD Station

TTD looking down at the queue

Wicked Twister (where we all came to know and love{or hate} Twistee the spider)

Maxair

Current midway cam

Mav station construction

new Mav station construction (slightly tilted to the right)(current)

Pond cam showing the layout (current)

^Dont forget Skyhawk midway 1&2 and the Skyhawk overview from SRF(now the pondcam).
I'm starting to think the fence doesnt go along the whole property. I'm thinking it goes up to the end of the first turn (where the track is the closest) and starts again at the bottom-out of the bunnyhill....as seen on the webcam. If you look closely, the fence goes under the stengel, and extends to the bunny hop (which they've enclosed). I think that whole area is open in terms of the view from the train......which is great! *** Edited 4/9/2007 4:36:21 PM UTC by TTD 120mph***

I'd love to see something like this happen to the heartline tunnel.

That'd be neat.....though in a way not needed.

Wow, it looks great. Nice to see some live close-up images again. Also good to see they turned the station cam slightly to the right - that finale looks insane! :) Can't wait...

That would be @&^%$# Awsome to see that on there. It would definitly stand out and look #%^*& sweet!!!

Yeah it might not be needed but I think it would atract more guests, don't you?

Well I'm glad to see via the webcams that the point didn't get nearly as much snow as Cleveland did. I was worried about that.

^^The problem I see with it is that it doesnt really help tell guests that the entrance is all the way by Round Up. Unless it said something....like on Dragsters grandstands.

Uh, its supposed to look like a rock canyon, not a billboard. I think that's a bad idea.

I'm sure it isn't. Government job, Government benefits, and what can be more fun than working with Weather?

A bit ironic you're talking about this... I'm working on a careers project regarding meteorology at the moment.

Why do they have fences around the bunny hills?

There are fences there to protect any area where the trains come close enough to the ground to have the ability to hit someone. They are ment to keep anyone out for safety reasons during the operation of the ride.

^ Or the more likely... they could be entirely aesthetic. I imagine there will already be a perimeter fence around the whole ride, so any additional fencing would likely be for aesthetic purposes. I think the boxed-in areas will be gravel with grass in the surrounding areas.

No, they are there because of the building code. They have to have them, no questions. They're there to protect workers (who could be inside the containment fence) and guests who may "wander" inside.

Look on Millennium Island. There are fences there too. There's no way to get out there unless you swim out. LOL!!

^ not true....you could hijack the Paddlewheel Excursions boat and use it to get over there.

i still think the paddlewheel boat has a track under the water

I could see it now...

Paddlewheel Captain: "Is this a holdup?"

JuggaLotus: *Wielding a gun* "It's a science experiment!"

I want them to put a webcam inside the station when the ride opens so you can see people geting on and off :)

And as long as I stick to bad puns, the riders won't know anything is wrong.

Until you see one wedged under mantis...

The "low zone" fences are all very much for safety and can be found anywhere a ride gets close to the ground. Even in those "hard" to reach areas.

Millennium Island
Back half of Mantis
Iron Dragon
Etc.

It is for the safety of everyone who works there and any guest who might accidentally wander off.

As for the webcams, isn't the "station" camera on top of a construction trailer? If so it MUST move by opening day.
