Web cam photo for HH

by **Bob O** on September 29th, 2004, 1:19 pm

Its great that SFGAM has a web cam to show progress of HH, but it makes no sense to have one and then not up date it since Friday!!!
I dont know why they dont do what Cedar Point has done(and im sure other parks as well) and have the picture updated on a regular basis on the hour/half hour.
Not good to have a web cam and not keep it more current than it is.

This should be in the problems/suggestions forum. Cosider yourself grateful that you do have a webcam. The one on the official six flags website shows not much difference

No, this should not be in the problems/suggestions forum because it is not related to the actual site, it is realted to SfGam.

Yes, I too wish it would update more often, but it is better than nothing at all.

I agree. This webcam is less reliable than Deja Vu. Since it's release, it updated Thursday, Friday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. That is 5/13 days. Pitiful

Quit complaing, its better than nothing. I am very impressed with the whole Hurricane Harbor site. Plus the GP will not check the site every day like enthusiasts, also nothing much has really happened to the construction site so why keep updating it? I would be happy if they would update it once a week.

I think that they're just waiting untill the seasons over to take down the rest of the lot. Or they are waiting untill the overflow lot is expanded. There will be alot of updates in noverber until april, because they will be installing waterslides and exciting stuff. So just enjoy six flags until the seasons over and then worry about the waterpark construction.

Guess what your missing.

The taking down of tents, and a few mounds of dirt. :wink:

by **Mr. SFGAm** on September 29th, 2004, 7:44 pm

At least there is a webcam to look at every now and then, and it'll update just about as often as someone could get out there to get a photo update anyway.
Getting construction pics for this is going to be a lot harder than for SUF. :shock:

(During the offseason at least)

by **Chitown** on September 29th, 2004, 7:51 pm

Not really. If you got a good optical zoom camera, you can get decent shots of the construction from the barricade gates.

It makes little to no sense to put up a web cam and then advertise it on your site and not update the picture frequently.

Like they said before, we really don't need updates right now, that often.

by **Binks Drake** on September 30th, 2004, 10:42 pm

The thing says it was updated today, but it doesn't look any different.

by **SIC COASTER** on September 30th, 2004, 10:44 pm

Well if you notice in the picture more of the parking lot is torn up by Viper so it does indeed look different and if it doesn't look different well then they didn't do anything new.

Still says Friday for me.

When they took that picture the park was closed i think but i thought that they stored the trains on the transfer track on days that they're not open and at night?

by **Bob O** on October 1st, 2004, 4:24 pm

Glad to see that it was updated today, now they just have to update it more frequently.

Maybe there's a buy out tonight? Or they could just have it ready for the buy out tomorrow.

They do store the trains on the transfer tracks usually.(As shown in previous updates.)

They do but it appears they were either doing something with Raging Bull or maybe the park has a buyout tonight. I know that there is a Buyout on Sunday.

by **SFGAm Shock Wave** on October 1st, 2004, 6:37 pm

There is also a buyout tommorrow.

by **SIC COASTER** on October 2nd, 2004, 1:09 am

Theres was a buy out friday night, my friend was at it.

by **sfgam2k5** on October 4th, 2004, 9:13 am

If you go into the new "Hurricane Harbor Preview Room" located next door to Fastlane, there is a computer connected to the webcam that is updated live, every second. There must be a problem in the program that refreshes the picture on the Six Flags.com site, or maybe it has to be done manually...
