If you can move around the cam around in cedar point. I know you can do that because when we had the auto show by us in chicago you can move around the cam, that would be awesome, but quite some money

Like if you want to zoom in, or if you want to move the cam to see anthor roller coaster. So you just dont sit in one spot.

Ohhh... I see. Yeah, that would be very cool... Except there would probably be other people always controlling it.

not true. You can make a cam like this one (see link at end of message) that takes a panoramic photo every 1 min, and all you do i scroll around the pic. The camera doesnt really move. I think that would be sweet.The Cam is of good ol' Downtown Chicago, and Ripped up Meigs Field (stupid mayor Daley)http://live6.truelook.com/face/newface.jsp?func=pano&name=/adler/skyeye/camera1&overlay=default&skin=default&useapplet=true&time=1050970870182&width=640&height=480&quality=45&catalogname=catalog

You don't control the camera itself. The camera rotates and puts all the pictures together to make a 360* picture.

There are plenty of cams that have user controls via the internet. If it is a popular destination (as CP is), there would always be a queue of 100 or so people, maybe more. It would be like waiting for a ride! CP's isn't they type that would do that, though. Cams with user controls are always continous feed. I'm sure CP could make theirs that way, without much money being spent on hardware. However, I bet it costs a good sum for bandwith. Anyways, if they did that, I bet they would get rid of 2. I'd rather have 3 cams than 1 with someone else always at the helm.
