SDC really needs to get a few web cams.  I have found only one in Branson.  It is on the Titanic web site. http://www.titanicbranson.com/titanic_webcam.php . On this one you can even take control of it and look up and down the strip.  Any one know if there are more around the Branson area on in SDC?

A webcam for any of their coasters would be pretty sweet, like on Wildfire's observation deck or TnT's helix.

a webcam on the front of all 3 trains and in the sations of the roller coasters

If you go to the Branson Tracks website there are 3 or 4 different webcams you can watch. I think the web address is bransontracks.com and then click on webcams.

webcams at the city would be great!!  of course they would have to be hidden otherwise we would have members screaming-----NOT IN MARY'S DAY!!!!!      LOL..

I am sure it include the track cams as well, but with different names.

There used to be a "panaromic" camera view on SDC's website.  A camera was posted at the top of the corkscrew that goes from near River Blast to the top near where Becca's Weaving is located now(at the bridge that the train passes under and there's a sign that says "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes).  You could click on the icon and see a shot from that area but I don't think it was done in real time.  Does anybody else remember that?

I think a city square camera would be great. You could get an idea as to how croded things were, get a view of the iconic buildings, see thetroupe performing....I would watch it to get my fix!

So the idea was brought up in 2008, and now in 2011 there is still no such webcam? :-\

Either way, I love  the idea! Plus, since most outdoor webcams are very small, concealing them would be a piece of cake. I like the Town Square idea the best, but any entrance area would be really cool.

Another great place to put one is the Train Station, or Echo Hollow Theater, or any other place where crowds channel through. :)

If they put one in I think it should be one with volume..  So we can hear whats going on on the square...  Jut my thoughts.

They ought to have several. Main St., train station, a couple of the craftsmen...

sanddunerider

Now, now, boys.  If you have too many web-cams, you eliminate the need for people to pay their money and come through those turnstiles.  No shows or craft demos, please. 

But a few would be nice...I could see one on top of the fire tower just west of the Gazebo (keep an eye on the Main Street area), one on top of the Playhouse overlooking the riverfront area, one on top of the Flooded Mine tower (watch the train come and go), one at the top of the Wildfire lift (see both big coasters from there), one on top of the Saloon overlooking that high traffic intersection, and maybe one on top of the Red Gold overlooking the Grand Exposition area.
