mikejenkins1 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 So why are the cameras down now that the park is open? Especially for Orion. Just wondering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightlyBeast Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With CP opening tomorrow we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can say the cams were up recently as I checked them often. Expand I like this theory, but I don't think it is realistic. It is kinda like the old NFL black out rules. 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).

Expand 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 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand 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 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelcaster is the website that does the webcams. I went on Cedar Point's and theirs were down too. I tried loading the pixelcaster website and the site itself wouldn't load, so it probably was a site issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikejenkins1 Posted July 17, 2023 Author Share Posted July 17, 2023 Hmmm Now says down for Grand Carnival prep???? How do you prepare a camera for a parade? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tr0y Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 The International Street Cam is back up and running. The web page however says the cam is down due to preparations for the Grand Carnivale. Was yesterday just a soft opening for the Grand Carnivale? Are they still prepping? I’m going to the park tomorrow, does anyone know if it will all be ready by then?

They were rehearsing from 11:00p until like 3:00a or so. They didn’t want you watching that. This is going to sound dumb, but I’m glad they do this. I’d totally be tempted to watch the cams and ruin the surprise for myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
