you say sixflags darien lake?

i say Click the hyyyperlink

Yea, I just saw those from TPR the other day. Those birds eyes are so cool. Not really worth anything for say, a top down view but its an excellent view nonetheless.

The thorpe park view is pretty good on google earth

If you check out Knotts Berry Farm one of veiws is a couple years old. Windjammer is there then switch an all a sudden its Excelerator.

Xcelerator. Im wondering why the Birds Eye for Knotts uses such old imagery...crazy.

if you look bird's eye at SFMM they dont have scream--those pics are at least 3 years old

what park should i look up?

How do you get the clear pictures, only thing I could get was the generic looking aerial that was pretty blurry and black and white?????

make sure you get in an area that has the "bird eye"-option, what you're looking at are just plain satelite images

Thank you, apparently Kennywood doesn't have that option

Yeah, only certain places have that option at the moment.

Here are a few more;
