I've been thinking about implementing a "scare shot" system similar to the cameras on roller coasters for a year or so now. At a certain place during the attraction, a photo would be taken of each group right as the scare was happening, and then they'd be displayed and for sale at the end of the haunt. Has anyone here done anything like this? I know that Nightmares Fear Factory in Niagra Falls does this and has a huge gallery online: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nightmaresfearfactory/. Some of the shots are priceless!
Anyways, if anyone has done something similar, do you have any suggestions for the type of equipment to use, etc? Also, I'm trying to decide if I should go through the hassle of trying to print photos on site or just sell a digital copy for a few bucks (give them a card with their unique photo ID so that they can download from our website, email the picture to them, etc). I would make sure our logo is in the corner of each picture. Then if customers would upload the photo to Facebook, it could act as another form of advertising, so that's another advantage of going digital. I just wouldn't want the lack of a printing option to turn anyone away.
Lastly, do you think that these would be popular and sell, especially if they were pretty cheap? I guess it's hard to tell until we try, but I'd like to hear other opinions. Thanks!
