Ha! You guys crack me up. We can survive a couple days without a webcam. My lips need to be sealed, just so I dont ruffle any feathers, or whatever you want to call it. 

Even though the webcams are down, he can still get us some aerial pics. Everyone just forgot lol.

Wow.  How convenient.  Terrible timing by Kings Island staff (IF this is indeed just a routine software update) - but DAYS?  What type of software update takes days?

You know, there was a time when we didn't have live video cams to watch roller coaster construction on. You'll all survive.

I am in agreement, we have to remember that just a couple of months ago we had to wait a week for a construction update.

Everyone is relying on you @sixohdieselrage

What are you asking Six Flags to do, @Hawaiian Coasters 325?

This is certainly true, but what year is it again?  1999?  Is this Internet thing new?  Are webcams cutting edge technology?

(It's a good thing they contract Accesso to handle online ticket sales.)

Webcams still not working, hopefully somebody gets some pictures today as they pass by the park 

Starting to suspect this is a ransomware attack.   The likely perps are the minions at Kentucky Kingdom or those dirty elves at Holiday World.  Any other suspects?

US government not happy about the asteroid impact announcement?

So we just need to figure out the magic word... 

 

Does it suck we can't see what's going on? Yes, yes it does. We all know two cranes are up now and that they looked like they were working via the pics provided by @BoddaH1994. (Thanks again)

Who I really hate this for are those who are making a time-lapse video via the web cam. The cam could come back up and several pieces could be installed, station roof could be on, who really knows what all could

be happening during this time. Some will say "It's not their images anyway.", true but after recording images since the camera moved weeks ago I'm sure they are beyond mad. I know some out there don't care, but I hate it for

those trying to make something historical for us to watch when construction is complete.

We have been trying to get back up in the air, but weather hasnt exactly been the best higher up. 

I bet those Great Wolf Lodge rooms are booking up real fast!  

No, it's there. I hit forward and it jumped to yesterdays pic. It's there....lift hill going up. 

Using the image from weatherbug taken by @JonahWilliamson I made a mockup of what the coaster's lift could look like from IS. 

^Shouldn't it be taller than DB?

Perspective wise DB is closer to I Street then Orion is.

If you could walk in a strait line to DB and Orion youd get to DBs turnaround into the station quicker then you could walk to Orion all the way back by FOF. Plus the lift is going even deeper from the station so it wont look crazy taller from the ground in the parking lot

Diamondback also sits on land with a higher elevation than Orion does.

Gotcha, true

So I'm guessing some of the GP will still think DB is taller than Orion? Probably until they ride it though.

I wanna give credit where its due. @CoasterOhio sent me the weather bug back a few months ago and thats how i remembered it. 

I may just be dumb, but I never realized Diamondback and Orion's lifts are basically at the same angle from a bird's eye view.

Looks like we are missing some of the action, unfortunately.

Just curious where is this taken from. Cool pic!

It looks like it was taken in the area of Soak City, or from in that direction.
