tribefan1988 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 he just emailed me again and said the same. We’re testing the webcam to see what some of the good angles are we can show of the park this summer. Nothing more, nothing less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittenpooh Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Stephanie, We are not testing Diamondback, as the rumor mill suggests, because of the webcam angles today. We're doing a webcam test to see what angles in the park we can showcase this summer. Don I did email him, There were other subjects I had needed to ask him about but did bring up the webcams. I edited my email but this is the part about testing and cams. That is a cool idea. I realize the cams are mounted wrong for this, but how about one pointing at the parking lot to see how full it is before coming. HA! I think different web cam views are a great idea, one of the parking lot would be great. Be kinda nice to see how busy it is before you get there.

flightoffear1996 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Or a bad one since if you see hte park is packed you may not come when otherwise you would risk the park being crowded and go and since you are at the park your aren't going to turn around and go home.

How many days would it be slow and people say lets go and bring in business? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DropZone99 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I think there should be of course, a Diamondback Cam showing the queue and station. Maybe one facing the actually ride... Have on showing International Street/Parking Lot. One showing Action Zone, and possibly one for X-Base/Coney Mall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I'm glad they're planning to have the cam up through the summer. It would be nice if they'd get one up on the International Restaurant or something to show International Street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used to show main street and I would check before going to make sure it was not packed. So I am hoping they will have a camera front park side as well.

goofywdw Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 There is a new update on the Kings Island Insider but it's just about bringing groups to the park. Nothing ground breaking. I am enjoying the new views though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jandyb79 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I just drove by the park on my way home from a seminar downtown and watched the DB train tests. They look incredible! ~Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goofywdw Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Did anyone else just see the webcam? There is a train on the transfer track and it's the train with the water dummies! It moved from the actual track and now it's sitting infront of it's little parking spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jandyb79 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 ***Crickets*** ***Crickets*** I thought someone would have posted this by now. I watched one train running as I was sitting at the light on KI drive and Mason/Montgomery Rd and pulled into the pick up area and watched 2 additional runs. ~Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have absolutely nothing to gain for trying to fool anyone. I simply thought that everyone knew this already and wanted to comment on how awesome it looked. I wasn't the only one who witnessed this, by the way. However, if the park was trying to keep this hidden I am sorry for "spilling the beans" again. ~Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 ^ I'm sure everyone here envies that you got to see it. I wish I could have seen it on the cam. I haven't been watching it too closely today since Don said it'd be a matter of days when they test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
