Attraction Department: More Rigging & Beyond


 
Time to rig up the second mast. Now that I have the hang of it, it felt like I was doing someone's hair!
 
 
 
 
I must be getting better at it because this time I broke no cleats and only broke one threader! And.....it took only one hour to get this one done!
 
 
 
It was time to move on to other parts of construction. Safety is our number one goal here at Mystic Mountain (those HO scale people are really expensive!) and so we have sparred no expense in safety features. Here you see our emergency evacuation platforms on both of our lifts.
 
 
And here you see a walk-down ramp from the uplift. I had to take a little liberty with these as the ramp is a bit higher than it should be (had to do that to get it to operate properly). I decided to cut off the bottom boards so I could get the railings to align. When building a model like this I am finding that you have to think "out of the box".
