Time for a SFGAm webcam

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.

What about having a live camera at the park on during the off-season? I think Cedar Point had (has?) one and King's Island has one for the opening of Diamondback but this is a great idea to keep fans interested during the dead season and see what exactly happens when the public is not allowed in.

NBC 5 used to run a webcam that was on top of STT.

No need to have LIVE at the park like you mentioned it.


How many days until the off season ends?

I can see it now millions of people glued to their computers to see nothing!

" Look billy there's a guy shoveling snow! "

honestly what do you think happens there in the off time? the employees dress up as the Justice League and loony toons and play hide and go seek?

Guys.... this is bordering on creepy.
Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that wonders what the part that isn't thinking, isn't thinking of.

^^ I would guess it was a money issue on NBC's part. While the initial cost of the camera is not that much, running a live feed like that could be expensive, if you have to pay for the bandwidth used.

Besides, SFGAm put it up to monitor the building of Hurricane Harbor. There really is not much to see at the park during the off-season. Sure, they are building BB, and we could be watching that. I know I'm not going to loose any sleep over the fact I can't stare at Eagle all day on a webcam! :D

The camera was shut off at the parks request.
