Did they take those pictures with a webcam? How blurry could a picture be?

More than likey yes. I'm sure the pics cam from a security camera somewhere around the park. Unless they installed a Web cam to follow construction.

In the past I know they've actually used actual digital cameras for these pics (*gulp* not a hard concept to understand, really). The pics don't really look bad when they're smaller only when they get larger in size. They were probably taken from somewhere in BB.

I'll see if I can find out how they were taken. I'm expecting a phone call tomorrow from my co-horts from over there.

I think someone probably used their camera phone.

If not, then they have a really crappy camera.

:) One was taken from the Abyss(Awesome Aussie Twister), and the other was taken from infront of the ice cream. I know it is a uesless bit of information. Hmm, what are up to Max. :) Image

Max must've gotten ahold of someone, since they have proper pics up now. Those originals must've been from a camera phone or somebody *really* screwed up in resizing them in Photoshop.

Probably they took a placeholder pic with a camera phone, and sent someone out after Max called to take the real ones. Of course, it's still pictures of dirt. :lol:

Since that pool is going only going to be 2-3 feet deep they are probably filling it in and smothing it out so they can pour concrete over it. That's alot cheaper than just pouring concrete untill you get it the correct depth.

Wasn't me. When I talked to the right hand WO-MAN, as she calls herself, we didn't evet get on the subject of the photos. SO, wouldn't suprise me if somebody read the comments on here.

Of course, they read Carowinds Connection. They also read Carowinds Zone.
