fryler87 Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 Not sure if anyone already knew this, but the webcam on top of the Eiffel Tower is back online and sending us BEAUTIFUL pictures of the park. Enjoy! View the webcam here. Quote
SOB/Gun Steve-O Posted July 1, 2004 Posted July 1, 2004 OK, its 1:30 AM, and the picture is of a fully loaded Delirium starting or ending a cycle in broad daylight. Granted I know that probably nobody visits pki.com overnight, but for pete's sake, that image has to be at least 7 hours old. Quote
PKI Homey Posted July 1, 2004 Posted July 1, 2004 I just checked it and the pic is unchanged. What they really need is about two more and aim them at areas instead of specific attractions. Quote
DeliriumDreamer Posted July 1, 2004 Posted July 1, 2004 I wouldn't mind it being aimed at Delirium, though. You guys can watch me happily doing my job. My shoulder is in that pic. Look closely at the greeter box. Quote
coasterdime Posted July 1, 2004 Posted July 1, 2004 It used to show the parking lot, RRR, floral clock, monster, and before that...SoB. I used to use the cam to guage how busy the park was, before I'd make the trip up.... Just glad it's up and running again. Quote
keithandmissy Posted July 2, 2004 Posted July 2, 2004 It's a JPEG picture - NOT a webcam... get over it! There is no webcam. Quote
frisbeelover Posted July 2, 2004 Posted July 2, 2004 It's a JPEG picture - NOT a webcam... get over it! There is no webcam. ummmmm...then what does this mean? Quote
Airguy06 Posted July 2, 2004 Posted July 2, 2004 It's a JPEG picture - NOT a webcam... get over it! There is no webcam. Thats because they prolly use a Still Camera and just post the picture online. Thats why is says updated every 5 minutes. Quote
SixFlagsMasta Posted July 2, 2004 Posted July 2, 2004 um..yea it IS a web cam o person who comes and thinks he's smarter than all others. a webcam can easily save in JPEG. the file format has nothing to do with saying if it's a wbcam or not Quote
keithandmissy Posted July 2, 2004 Posted July 2, 2004 When the picture hasn't changed since it went up and it's a JPEG that is located on numerous servers (try an image search on Google)... it doesn't take someone who's smarter than everyone else to figure it out. Yes, webcams could save to a JPEG and then post it to the web, however, most webcams are now in Java, and I don't think that PKI would set up a live webcam that people could save the images from onto their computer. There would be privacy, legal, security, and copyright concerns involved. It says it updates every five minutes... ok... so I guess we're just seeing the same people ride the same ride every fives minutes of the world. Since you think that I'm insulting, just go ahead and sit and wait for the picture to change and keep checking the webcam... I'm just going to go to the park while you sit there. Once again... it is NOT an operational webcam. Sheesh! Quote
StXBomber Posted July 2, 2004 Posted July 2, 2004 This is the longest 5 minutes I have ever seen... Quote

Tanner Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 I wonder if you feel stupid for posting this topic. Quote
dxrunner Posted July 10, 2004 Posted July 10, 2004 I wonder if they feel stupid about arguing over computers and JPEG files and formats and webcams? Quote
keithandmissy Posted July 11, 2004 Posted July 11, 2004 I wasn't really arguing about all that stuff you mention. It's just that in my initial post when I told them it was just a still picture and is on numerous websites on the internet, no one believed me. If people on these forums weren't so fickle and quick to jump everytime something moves an inch at Kings Island, people wouldn't have to explain themselves like I did. It's been a couple of weeks now since it was first noticed... check it out now. It's another sunny day with Delirium loading and the ride is full. There may be some raindrops on there now... you'll have to look closely and study the picture to find out. Quote

Tanner Posted July 12, 2004 Posted July 12, 2004 Even with everyone complaining about topics being closed, for some reason this one in my opinion should be closed. Quote
