Shenandoah shows summary

This blog is a display for my projects. I make models of carnival rides out of knex and pipe cleaners and a few other items. They rack (tear down) like the real rides. If you are viewing this site for the first time let me give you a tour. Below are posts. If your new you might of missed some, so scroll threw and back to see other projects. To the right, is a tab that says pages. Click that and it will take you to a list of pages, including carnival terminology, and youtube, as well as a few others. Enjoy and comment. P.S. if you comment, don't ask me for, or leave any personal info. I ask that you address me as Shenandoah shows, or idog0698. Thank you.

Super shot drop tower article

This is the super shot drop tower. It stands approximately 4 1/2-5 feet tall. This will show how the ride is set up. This post will be laid out different. The steps will be placed above each photo.
 
The ride racked
                                                      The tower lights are on   

                                                     The red cluster light is turned on
                                                        The ladder and brace feet are un racked.
                                              The ground braces are unfolded, and the feet attached
                                                          The tower brace is unracked and setup
                                                 Now the first section of the tower is unfolded
                                               Stage lights are on,(warm white)
                                                Tower 50% unfolded
                                       Now the second half is unfolded.
                                                 Sweep lock is racked on trailer
                                                     The cluster light is unfolded on 1 side
                                                  Now the cluster light is fully unfolded
                                             Tower hinges are unconnected
                                              and racked on the trailer.
                                                 The flag poll is un racked,
                                                           and put in place (optional)
                                              The tower is completely unfolded
                                                              Lights
                                                   Now the tower disconnects from the brace
                                             and raises into the air
                                                  The tower is raised.
                                                 The decking is unfolded
                                                                The decking
                                                   And the ladder is attached
                                                           The carriage/boom
                                              The super shot plaques are raised/lowered
                                                      plaques in place
                                                     Now the seats are attached.
                                             And the feather lights are attached.
                                                  The decking complete
                                                    The tower brace is re racked.
                                    The tower is done. This shows how tall it is
                                                The super shot drop tower, the tallest ride I have.
The real ride racked
                                              The real ride up. Sorry its sideways.
