If this has been asked before, forgive me, but do they really not care that you're taking these pics and posting them? As much as we all enjoy seeing them I have to wonder if some of the higher ups would frown on sharing the construction photos and such before the general public is allowed to see the completed project.

I would think the PTB would not care for some updates to the public..

 Its a great way to keep the public up to date and the SDC doesnt have to do anything.!

If you think about sneak peaks is a great marketing tool!!

I hope so because I really love seeing them! Pics of the park when it's closed isn't something everyone gets to see and I really appreciate them being shared here.

SOP from the PTB is that off-season photos must not contain workers and if they do, those workers better be practicing safe worksite practices (ie. proper headware, ropes, etc).  This is more of a OSHA thing than a GP thing.

Photos during the off season of current and upcoming projects only perks interest in the upcoming season, and any publicity (especially free) is good from the marketing stand point.

I'd wondered about the PTB as well...glad there is no harm in posting the shots.

Silver Dollar City just tweeted this video intro to Half Dollar Holler http://social.silverdollarcity.com/EGv

I envision there being some adventurous little toots who try to climb from a tree house to the swinging bridge.

decent short video.  i like the additional picture of the steps on the 1 tree house..  Great idea using u-tube..  Lets see if they post another update in a week or so. sounds like the workers are hard at it in the background!.  Looks like lots to do in the next 4 weeks!

The do have a lot of work with only a month left to finish. Makes me wonder if they will still be putting finishing touches on after the opening.

Good to see Genesis Estes is in charge of the project.  For those who do not know she was in charge of both the Wilson Farm area at SDC as well as the Mystery Mine area at DW during design and construction -- we're in good hands with her, it will turn out amazing -- not to mention she is an amazing person to talk to if you get the chance.

FYI: This is the same Genesis that the cow in Wilson's Farm is named after.  ;D
