jbum123 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Cedar Point added two "Live view" webcams and took down their entire webcam page. Kings Island has removed all the webcams from their page but the page is still there. I haven't heard anything about KI adding "Live view" cams. So much for being able to judge crowds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_Plummer Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I would be drooling on my keyboard if they added live view cams. I could watch them for hours. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 The web cams were conveniently positioned in a way in which you couldn't judge the crowds anyway... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see AZ just fine and since most people flock to over there, it was a good judge of crowds. Same with Banshee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Live video webcams would be great. I just don't see KI removing them for the heck of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBEASTunchained Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 ...On a side note from the discussion above..... Cedar Point's 3rd live-video-cam was delivered a few days back and they are in the process of finding a good place for it somewhere in the park.

malem Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Regarding the "missing" webcams on visitkingsisland.com, these have been down in the past for maintenance or technical reasons. I don't see anything to suggest that they have been removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeTe27 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I would really like it if they would put the park entrance webcam up. I feel like I can judge crowds better. I hope they spread the the cameras more throughout the park instead of just Action Zone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I'm fairly certain the park doesn't want you to see how large/small the crowd size is. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magenta Lizard Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 They don't want people not coming because they think it looks too busy. Once you're there, you're more committed. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 And they don't want investors or competitors seeing an empty or emptier park. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merthecat Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 The Carowinds webcam is also down. The text stating where it is is still there, reading "Harmony Hall," but the image isn't anywhere to be found. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbum123 Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 Looks like it might be a server problem then if it is taking down so many. Only time will tell. Or maybe a park insider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride On_17 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 CP did announce that theirs will be removed, but I'm not sure about the rest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banshee Back VII Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Holiday World may add live view cams too. Their webcams have been off for quite a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondback96 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 CP did announce that theirs will be removed, but I'm not sure about the rest. Why would they remove their webcams when they just put in new ones? Unless you meant that they removed the old webcams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtmorningview Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 When the cameras went down they came back up with a new IP address (54.84.231.7). I believe Cedar Fair uses one IP for all their live cams. If you look on Carowinds website (at the time of this post), their webcam is down and it's under the old IP address (174.121.245.214). I wonder if Cedar Fair is under the process of moving all their feeds to a new server, especially since Cedar Point has live cameras now.

upstop Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 They don't want people not coming because they think it looks too busy. Once you're there, you're more committed. Due to large crowds when I get there, I have actually gone through the parking tolls and straight out the nearby exit. Regardless of webcams, I'm using common sense about today and tomorrow...no point in my getting anywhere near that mess! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APE Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 We went last night despite large crowds. It went very well actually. 3 hours we did. Banshee The Bat Racer WindSeeker Vortex Diamondback We were on Diamondback for the fireworks and we did this while walking through shops and just relaxing not hurrying to everything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upstop Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I've actually gone early to the sports bar on Western Row on Independence Day when PKI had Nights of Fire. I went inside, had my dinner, and stepped outside around 10pm....watched the fireworks, then turned left to bypass nasty I71 to Montgomery Rd. Quick and easy and oh so fun. Made the mistake in the first NOF by being inside the park....didn't leave the parking lot until...da da da.....4am. Never again. Im hoping to go to Dinos in the Dark..I'm just not a crowd person....at all...they make me anxious and sometimes angry. I don't know why....just me I guess. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Totally not just you. I hate crowds too. They bother me less as I've gotten older, and after having lived near Los Angeles for several years. It still stresses me out to be surrounded by people without a clear exit, though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
