Where to put web cams?

I believe the Demon Drop cam was pointed toward Raptor and the main midway.

I would like to see the Power Tower cam stay right where it is.

I assume the cam on Breakers will be positioned back to give a beach view.

Sorry for bringing back a old topic but, I don't know how everyone else feels about it, but I would like to see more of the park rather than all the cams all on ttd, don't get me wrong or anything but I want to see more that just ttd.

Anyone else feel this way?

And no I do not sit at home all day and watch them. It would be nice to look at them to see if the park was packed or not before leaving for the park.

------------------
The way I put it Six Flags needs more parks to keep up with the one and only Cedar Point :)

The focus is obviously on the new coaster. Even Cleveland.com's cam is positioned to include Top Thrill. Will that change this summer? I guess we'll have to wait and see. The park recognizes that the web cams are popular and they're pretty good at keeping it fresh.

I still like the idea of a web cam on top of one of the Sky Ride stations looking down the Main Midway. Or, on top of the laser show control booth looking towards the screen and the WildCat/Iron Dragon midway. But, the cams are, in part, a marketing tool. So expect to see Dragster for a while.

Static web cam images don't do much for me. That's why I like cam #2. With the shot near the midway, it's fresh and dynamic.

What's a static web cam?

Static means "not moving", so that would mean the you can't really see the pictures change, except time of day.

I think they should put a cam on the roof or lift hill of the Corkscrew. That way we could see the crowds around it and the station and holding area.

I want one on top of the Space Spiral, facing the parking lot.

I'd like a web cam focused directly on the Magnum line!
