Windows Live Local (Cedar Point Fly-By)

How exciting, I can see my car in that picture! Thats really cool.

it's early april for sure. Skyride upgrades underway and the coasters tables didn't get moved til the last week of april. I'm also looking for my car but haven't found it yet.

edit- I FOUND MY CAR! It was April, the only time I was allowed to park at Breakers for work crew.

How sad is it that when you can tell who's at work already that day by who's cars are in the full time parking spots?? hehe

Wow, nice find. That is very cool.

If you look toward the main midway down from maXair, you can see that the new concrete is not finished yet. The new concrete even looks wet. In case we didn't establish that this was in april enough already...lol...

This is a great picture!

Does anyone know if you can save the images? And how?

If you have the time, navigate the images all the way down by the Sandusky Mall to the quarry. Those are some really cool pictures!

I enjoyed going down the shore a few miles to where my parents live and seeing the neighborhood I grew up in.

Forget this Microsoft software and Google Maps. Go out and find Google Earth if you want to see the future of mapping software on the net.

For any Sea World fans out there, check out these pre-Wildwater Kingdom pics. They may be pre-Cedar Fair or the spring before it opened as Geauga Lake. The floating walkway is at the other end of the lake than it current position and Superman's "S" is still on the ride.

gener, an obvious advantage to Windows Live is the bird's eye view option. This feature isn't available even in Google Earth. Although you can tilt the images, they aren't taken from a low flying airplane at multiple angles.

The the Cedar Point peninsula isn't developed yet in Google Earth either. These are both great inventions. At work CNN is always on tv and they use it all the time, especially in the past few days when covering the story about the plane that slid off the runway in Chicago.

Google Maps, on the other hand, has the advantage of operating on multiple platforms. So far I have not been able to get anything to come up on the live local pages.

Well it's easier to navigate in Google Earth. But Windows has much better quality.

Sarmad if you hit the "prt scr" button on your keyboard it'll pretty much take a still of whatever your looking at, then you can go into paint and paste the image. I don't have a printer hooked up though so that might effect it differently I don't know.

Google Earth is really nice. Everything Google does is really nice.

But as far as imaging right now... microsoft has an upper hand.

Still, Microsoft Windows Live Local is just pretty and nothing more. *** Edited 12/10/2005 11:28:03 PM UTC by Coastern3rd***

I spy an old Ski Lift...

Anyone notice the midway near maXair isn't renovated yet?

Also, is it just me, or is there some type of plastic around the pavilions in the front.

The trains have to be tested and refurbished somewhere.

It gives you a very good idea of how you could fit a coaster in there;P

Just look at the beautiful piece of land DisasterTransport takes up.
