Angry_Gumball Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 Pretty sweet. I just wish you can zoom in a bit closer but color is really good. I found my house as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hattuchili Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 That is great. Everything is so small. Looks like you had a lot free time at work! --Soeren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowforce Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 How long did this take you? :o I know for sure when I started the "Guess the Satelitte Picture" game on another board, I used several days to find all the good, clear images... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterFanatic Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 The thing that irks me is that the image for SFGAdv is newer on the web than it is in Keyhole. ... and I had to pay for Keyhole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 Six Flags Great America Look at the top of the park. Shockwave still lives on!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted April 16, 2005 Author Share Posted April 16, 2005 It actually didn't take me very long. I had this thread open like ALL DAY at work, and everytime I'd get a few minutes, I'd find another one. Google was really easy. You go to thier sattelite image feature, put in something like "Valencia, CA" and it would take you right to there, then put in "Magic Mountain" and the park would show up! There were a lot of parks they didn't have images for, though, like Cedar Point. --Robb "Easy!!!!" Alvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Yankee Guy Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 Wow, you've must have been really bored do to this Robb. The downside to Googles Sat Maps is that only certain areas come in clear. Like, 1/10th of Connecticut comes in, but if you were to zoom all the way in on the other areas it doesn't come in.

ahecht Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 If you click on the "link to this page link", the url will include the latetude and longitude. You can then take that latitude and longitude and plug it into http://www.terraserver-usa.com. If the "Urban Areas" images are available, click on it, and you can get approximately four times the resolution of Google Maps (although without the cool interface).

Jose Eber Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 terra server is incredible. Its the one thing I like by Microsoft. Killer resolution NO watermarking, ALL free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Yankee Guy Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 ^ Terraserver is also very useful if you want to view old aerial imagery from years ago. For example, Heres a link to what SFNE looked like back in 1990 Riverside - 1990 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillMontu Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 King Richards Park Basically a small local amusement park with a kiddy coaster, bumper boats (that I managed to get stuck on...twice), mini golf, arcade games, etc. The picture's a bit blurry, but my house is in the "clear" portion. To the north is a fancy Greg Norman designed golf course. Busch Gardens Tampa. Gwazi and Kumba are visible, but not Montu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Token Yankee Guy Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 thats so cool. I take it that the SFGAdv pic is old because i cant see KK and Batman and Robin. No, Chiller is there. If Chiller wasn't there then Nitro wouldn't either since Nitro was built in 2001 I believe. So I think this picture was taken in 2002. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 I like the other services better, the ones you pay for. Their overviews are much more "Top down" and not slanted like alot of those on Google or MS Terraserver. All of these required MAJOR stitching. I think the SFStl park was like 50 tiles stitched together? Wasnt easy, nor fun. But the result was great. Examples: Georgia Scorcher http://www.real-coasters.com/images/satimages/GS_small.jpg Top Gun - The Jet Coaster http://www.real-coasters.com/images/satimages/TG-TJC.jpg Vortex - PC http://www.real-coasters.com/images/satimages/vortex_small.jpg Shockwave - SFGAm http://www.real-coasters.com/images/satimages/shockwave_small.jpg Talon - Dorney (Very low res) http://www.real-coasters.com/images/satimages/Talon.jpg Boss - SFStl http://www.real-coasters.com/images/satimages/boss_bg.jpg Entire SFStl Park - 1.45mb HUGE http://www.real-coasters.com/images/satimages/sfstlouis_final.jpg EDIT-- I have a 200mb bmp of CP right after MF. Its black and white, but ridiculous quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterFanatic Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 I figured I would bump this to the top, so you could look at one of my latest creations. Google has released the API for their new online aerial photo collection. I took a few minutes and whipped up some XML to import all the parks I had any location data. Check it out: http://www.coasterfanatics.com/map.asp Warning - The code is very, very JavaScript heavy and will probably take about 30 seconds or so to load on the average machine.

Token Yankee Guy Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 ^ Wow, the thing finally finished loading. You must have had nothing to do all day to whip this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
