steveinphoenix Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 They REALLY need to add a second cam to the top of the freefall ride to get a different angle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanofFirehawk Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Couple things I want to point out. 1. I agree that is one crane bent over, although I don't know the reason it would be bent over, but it is. If you look at the grass, you can see the shadow of the crane and the tension cable is more clearly seen between the fulcrum point. 2. It appears they are building something (was this mentioned?) down where the immilmen loop will be. Or are those just supports laying around and I'm imagining things.

jandyb79 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 They REALLY need to add a second cam to the top of the freefall ride to get a different angel. I'm not trying to be a jerk by saying this, but we are really lucky to have at least the one. When I watched SOB during construction there was virtually no forum or webcam to check out everyday. It was very primitive with very few pictures, updates, etc - the fan base was not "Centralized". With that said, I'll go back into my cave with the other dinosaurs. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know it had even one angel o.O I mean it kinda makes sense since Banshee wails over the dead and angels can relate to death but still.... 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homestar92 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Just so everyone knows, I have a server downloading the webcam image every 10 minutes. I have an index page here: http://Vortex.beansisland.com/pics/KI/Banshee/ You can use those if you want. But please download and re-host the captures if you want to post one of them here. My bandwidth is relatively limited on that server. EDIT: I should add that it does not do any capturing between 10PM and 5AM. I can't imagine that anything would be happening at those times. ANOTHER EDIT: I have a backup server at this address: http://beast.beansisland.com/pics/KI/Banshee/ use that one if for some reason the other goes down. Just know that it only captures every 30 minutes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Existential Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 In our lifetimes...we have rode some brilliant craftsmanship of mankind. Its truly something if you think about.

I thought about doing something like this, but just haven't gotten around to it What can I say, I'm a nerd with a penchant for scripting In all honesty, a three-line shell script was all it took. Though I imagine it's a lot easier since I have my own server. Most shared hosting services won't let you run programs on their servers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidw Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 i have a knack for scripting as well (I work with automation for a living). What i was planning on was to have my capture script on my desktop just upload to my website. Then on the site, i would have an interactive slideshow that people could arrow through. But i have a 16 month old and my wife is laid up due to foot surgery so i just don't have the time to work on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
