mikejenkins1 233 Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 So why are the cameras down now that the park is open? Especially for Orion. Just wondering. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NightlyBeast 139 Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 My guess is they don't want to risk the footage being used by the media to report on attendance. I can say the cams were up recently as I checked them often. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BoddaH1994 14998 Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 I don't think there's a whole lot to this. Maybe they're moving them. Maybe they're down due to network issues. I'm sure they'll be back soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There are not enough people in the park, so turn off the cameras to encourage more people to come! The Mystic Timbers camera could not be used as any kind of attendance indication whatsoever, it only showed whether 3 rides were operating or not (train, Mystic, and Diamondback). 9 hours ago, BoddaH1994 said: I don't think there's a whole lot to this.

So you're saying that the webcams, which had been operating just fine for months while the park was closed, suddenly were moved or had network issues around the same time that the park opened? I'm not buying it. Not to mention tweets like this one... In the grand scheme of things, the webcams are not that big of a deal, but in my opinion the message here is that Kings Island is not 100% comfortable with showing the Internet the status inside the park at the moment.

jimlaheyscar 186 Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Web cams are up and running at CP if you want to watch opening day. Crowd to get in is already long. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I suppose this probably squashes the conspiracy theory that Cedar Fair doesn't want footage of how many people are in the park... which is disturbingly sparse looking watching the cams.

KIguy2004 174 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 I emailed them a week ago and they said it was due to a so called "software upgrade." Here is a photo of Cedar Point's webcam. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LovinMeSomeBanshee 3707 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Man, Kings Island's IT department sure has a lot of issues with software upgrades. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
