SDC screensavers?
« on: July 13, 2010, 02:47:58 PM »

I was wondering how many of you have an SDC screensaver on their computers. Mine is a scene I found on Google images. It as a pic of the park still closed (I am assuming because there is absolutely no one in the shot) and it is a downhill street shot. I dont know where it is exactly because you cant read the one sign that is visible, but it's a sunny day and it looks like someone spilled some kind of liquid down the street. It's a pretty clear shot and I love to see it when my screen blinks on.

If you have an SDC pic, what is it??

I've got an SDC screensaver! I downloaded it from the SDC website. It's kinda hard to explain but it's a picture of  Wildfire going on the sideway turn just before the cobra loop beside the watch deck.

I use an iPad so I have the screensaver set to run through all my personal SDC photos and maps I have collected.  Plus I can take my SDC library with me!

I have taken many photos like that Andy, Most are before opening, looking past the chains downhill all around the front of the park. Many ALSO have water spots on the ground from the morning wash that the park goes through before us guests arrive to visit the citizens

With my work issue computer I cannot change the desktop :-[ But when I go into sleepmode, I see those places!

I would love to have one but I do not think my half dead computer would take one more thing on it...   I really need a new one.

Does anyone have any good pics of the park, while the leaves are changing? If so, would you mind emailing some of em? That and Christmas are my favorite time! Does anyone know if there are SDC themes for blackberry?

I search the web sites for images of SDC and I copy them to my computer.  So I am always thankful for new pictures so I set up my computer to use my pictures as a slideshow for my screensaver.

Here's an SDC Desktop that I made for my new widescreen monitor.  I thought I'd share it with everybody:


I took the picture myself several years ago during Kids Fest.

^ ^^ Thanks.  I hope to share more of them in the coming weeks.  In the meantime, here's one you might get a kick out of...



That's my son attempting to blend in with the crowd as your average, everyday, run-of-the-mill SDC guest!

That's a classic.  I'll admit, however, I will not be using that one as my screen wallpaper.  ;)
