SDC needs a WEB cam

Hey, the more webcams the better! With the exception of shows, and demonstrations, I bet webcams in heavy foot traffic areas would entice more people to come visit the park. This is especially true for folks who have never visited before, and want to see what all of the fuss is about.

Not unless they rename the park Area 51.

I have used the Titanic cam that allows a 360* view for the area from the sign on hwy 76. I loved using that one when I was having 76 withdrawl. I would like checking in on a camerathat could be viewed anytime. We could see the Christmas lights/ parade, the changed in the trees etc. I would be on it just about as much as SDCFans!

How bout a 360 camera from the top of Huck Finn's Hideaway. Could we actually see anything from there?

I keep thinking a view from outside Brown's Candy Factory would be great. You could see the funnel cakes, the outer edge of the square, the blacksmith shop, the jewelry store, the Horse bridge, the woodcarvers shop, the glassblowers shop...I would love that view

Bingo! There is no way a simple webcam would ever replace a visit to Silver Dollar City, but is sure would help fill that void in between trips.

At least one has to be on the bridge over the tracks (where they've put the planters to keep anyone from leaning over the railing).

I think they use to have some kinda camera there before

Yes, the SDC website had a panoramic camera view from that location. Wasn't a web cam done in real time, though.

Boy Howdy, I sure agree with this thread! It would be great to see SDC on a live cam whenever you wanted! It would be neat to see SDC install a few cams and you would be able to click different views. *sigh* A great solution to your "missing SDC" woes!

That would be fun! If they had one on the square, then I could watch them install the Christmas Tree!!

sanddunerider · July 12, 2011, 12:40:39 PM

dollar! thats a great idea. watch them do the change from different festivals on the main square

rubedugans · July 12, 2011, 02:27:04 PM

I would watch the square 24/7!

sanddunerider · July 12, 2011, 03:48:11 PM

YEP!! i would have about a 30" monitor mounted on the wall, dedicated to that site....!!
