CoasterFanatic Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 ^ Actually I had all the data already (proximaty features are already on the site - nearby parks, etc) so it wasn't too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandaman Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Question, CF: Why isn't Epcot listed? (No coasters?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterFanatic Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 ^ You got it. It really isn't that hard to find. Just go west to MGM and turn right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandaman Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 ^ I realized that part, CF (believe me, I'm not that much of an idiot... I meant on the actual site (for a coaster count)... Â Wait, never mind. It doesn't have any coasters/flumes anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougr Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Here's a freaky thing. If you check the date on the Terraserver, it's one of the three days around spring break my family was at Disneyland. If you look hard enough, you might see our blue Honda in the Red Roof parking lot. I guess the time would be around 2-3pm, judging by the shadows-we're probably in Pirates. Google Maps uses the same picture set for Buena Park/Anaheim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougr Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 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.  Dude, you missed Playland at the PNE-Vancouver, BC, and Calaway-Calgary, AB and Galaxyland-Edmonton, AB. Great coverage in Washington state, BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ing king Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 When using google-earth you could also have a look at the placemarks in this set: http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/showthreaded.php/Cat/0/Number/52647/page/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnage Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Found Paramounts Canadas Wonderland.  Canadas Wonderland  And Marineland, NIagra Falls, Ontario. You can faintly make out the long boring layout of Dragon Mountain, and all of it's uncomplete themeing.  Dragon Mountain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterzak Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Anyone that has been to GL within the last few years knows that the picture cannot be legit... unless those cars were all photoshopped into the parking lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Rosenzweig Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Check out all these parks on Google Satellite Images! Some REALLY cool stuff here!!! Â The Disney Parks are particularly interesting to see from overhead, as they reveal where and how large some of the show buildings are compared to their facades (i.e. Small World, Haunted Mansion, Pirates). Â Also cool to see how one huge structure at Magic Kingdom (FL) can border two lands and house attractions for two lands (i.e. the structure that houses Phillharmagic, Peter Pan, and Hall of Presidents).

sedati Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Here's a few parks from my youth in the Northeast.  Paragon Park: What had once been New England's answer to Coney Island was a rotting shell of it's former self when I got to it. Still, it had one of the top roller coasters in the world (now moved to Maryland) and the awesome Bermuda Triangle dark boatride. The carousel has survived as a landmark and still operates today complete with ring grabs for free rides. The once mighty roller coaster is now a huge condo tower. http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&om=1&z=17&ll=42.269084,-70.855272&spn=0.005335,0.010868&t=k  Rocky Point Park: This park had an amazing log flume ride. Towards the end they added a basic steel corkscrew coaster, but also charged extra to ride (fifty cents I believe.) Other than that, mostly just a bunch of spinning flat rides, but really the best park Rhode Island had to offer (can't think of another.) http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&om=1&z=17&ll=41.68937,-71.367187&spn=0.005384,0.010868&t=k  Lincoln Park: What I would consider to be my "home" park as we made it there every year when I was a child. Really the perfect local park with a good mix of everything to satisfy everyone. The coaster still stands and as I understand it, is for sale- please buy it! http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&z=17&ll=41.636711,-71.041846&spn=0.005388,0.010868&t=k&om=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
