Project LC Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 They should get more if they lower the prices by a lot. Cedar point was charging $5 for a photo to shine some light on how overpriced they are here. And thats just pictures, the dvd's are even worse. No one is going to watch it more than once so to charge what they do is ridiculous. They would be better off lowering the prices to increase sales by a greater proportion. Anyone can work that out as long as they are above the age of 2, so why picsolve havent worked that out is a complete mystery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Picsolve now offer £30 for unlimited downloads!!!!! (on the day). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBobJones Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Picsolve is getting there, do it for something like £50 for digital downloads on all parks and I'd be interested for a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchada04 Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Thorpe has the best one at the moment with unlimited digital downloads till the end of the season for £25 (only for AP holders though). It's only an extra £5 with that to also get a hard paper copy of any of the photos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altitude Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Yes, I'd love to buy a DVD that lasts for 12 seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olistjj Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 They should do a stealth one although I'm joking thinking about it even though it'd be short the expression on peoples faces would be worth it aha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Hutson Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 This is all down to Picsolve, not Thorpe Park.   I agree pIcsolve need to get with the times - and they're aware of this situation.  I think just give us a download/email for £1 and they'd rake it in.  The photos end up online anyway!

stretchy Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I personally think that ALL rides should have the ability to get on ride imagery (even T cups). I think DVD is the wrong format. What the industry needs is someone to take a fresh approoach. The problem with dvd's is that suppliers seem to think that you need to have an edited experience, when most people I know want simply 2 views, one looking at them, one looking where they are looking. OK put an intro at the start and at the end but simply show the ride, in it's entirity, from the point where you board the car to the point when you leave the car. DVD as a medium, though, is so 1990's. How it should work? option 1, at the park 1) I ride a ride 2) As I leave a ride I tap my phone against something. It detects my face and then searches the last few rides footage for me, (including any footage in the queue and station). It then compiles all this footage into a video list for me and puts them on a web page. It processes my purchase for the video using apple pay or android pay and then sends an email link to my apple/android account to the list of videos. 3) I watch at my leasure option 2. at home 1) I get home, upload a photo of myself and it scans for me in all video of the selected rides and gives me a list of times. I can purchase vids of any of those, or maybe my whole day. The rest works like above. OK the data behind this is huge, but storage is cheep. The privacy issue it creates are also immense(the park and any of thier affiliates can basically track which rides you have ridden), but this kind of tech is already in opperation at music festivals so why not at theme parks. The thing is, if this is done cleverly, the whole park can be video'd and it can not only be used for this but also for crime prevention.( Bag thefts would be a thing of the past ) pluk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Sounds like YourDay a bit... Â Never really was a success that unfortunately... Â Plus with the amount of technology available to people now, do parks need to provide it for them in such a way? I don't think the answer is yes...

stretchy Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 YourDay was a terrable implementaion. It simply didn't work, but yes, I think YourDay for 2015 was at the back of my mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomglazed Posted March 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Wild assumption maybe but will assume DBGT is not a candidate for on ride video! For their indoor experiences it could be an idea to install cameras similar to YourDay which capture you and your group certain moments just to show the emotion and reactions at certain points. Obviously most of the moments maybe from transitions/corridors to the next section so as not to spoil what's inside but just a thought for the future Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk pluk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Depends how much time is spent with some VR contraption covering your face! Does anyone know how they are doing the Galactica photos, is it just a standard green screen thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 DBGT won't have any on ride video feature as the map doesn't indicate it. It does have an OR of some description but where, when and how really isn't known. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Galactica photo point is a dome on the wall you put your head into and it puts it into a Space Selfie. Includes different customisable backgrounds. pluk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know how they are doing the Galactica photos, is it just a standard green screen thing? To be honest, even snippets of seeing people's reactions to what they are seeing in VR whilst wearing the headsets is quite amusing. At the company I work at, we have an Oculus Rift and it's quite amusing to see some people wear the headset and for example go on a roller coaster or a horror game and what you see with them wearing the headsets is hilarious!

Kerfuffle Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 It's also worth taking into account that whatever is experienced inside DBGT is advised that it's kept secret. Onride DVDs would be a dead giveaway and poof, the magic's gone as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
