That's a super neat idea, an interactive ride like that. Love the direction this ride is going in!

[Plokoon111]

Ah the old hide a ride to get them to interact with ride trick. I did that with my pirateship funhouse. Loving the interactive ride though! 

[JB]

Thinking of this as a real ride, are the flames real fire or simulated fire (using lights, smoke, etc.)? Or have you thought about it that thoroughly? I guess it doesn't matter, just wondering how this would work in real life.  I like the idea of guests helping to put out the fires.

[Wowman]

real flame all the way baby!!!

[Wowman]

Seriously, the game version I'm building is a bit over the top, but in a real life scenario, sure....real flame could be used, just not as crazy as I have here.

There's been some amazing developments in the "faux fire" department. I set this building "on fire" with some high tech fog machines as part of an opening scene for a haunted house back in 2021.

 

I'm first in line at your park's version with the real fire though

This is a really cool concept! 

I can tell you've put in some work in this attraction. We'll done! 

 

[Wowman]

continuing on around the first bend of the ride

 

[Wabigbear]

Great spot to use those flats, they make a great backdrop...

[Wowman]

They are actually way more involved than just being just a flat/background. these hide a wall that separates this ride from the Magic Gardens that we already looked at. On the other side of this wall, those trees you see look like background fill for this ride, but are actually part of the Magic Gardens scenery. The wall on the other side of these flats is a billboard that has natural tree photos on it, so that as you look through the trees on the garden side you see what looks like limitless forest, yet its just a wall several feet back off the pathway blocking this ride from the gardens side.  

[Gin]

This is fascinating!

I really like the way you made those power posts.

[Wowman]

Again, got the power post idea from the workshop and modified to my needs.

[Wowman]

Here you can see how on the other side of the building panels (from the last photo) have a billboard with trees on the Magic Gardens side of the wall.

Continuing around the road of the ride.

Man, this whole area of your park gives me such strong backlot tour attraction vibes... miss that ride so much. Such a cool idea for an interactive ride, kinda wish it was real so I could try it 

[JB]

Looking at that last pic, it occurs to me that... Geez, there are a LOT of buildings on fire in this neighborhood! They must not be up to code.

Thanks for showing us the 'flip side' of that billboard wall. I was having trouble visualizing what the Magic Gardens side looked like.

[Gin]

I'm a fan of the way you're controlling viewpoints with that wall/facade in between the park path, and the attraction.

 

[Wowman]

As you continue around the bend, another strategically placed fence with signs and tall trees to hide the separation between this ride and the Magic Gardens area.

 

 

Drone shoot looking down on this area from the other side.

 

 

[JB]

I'm sure there's a reason why that fire hydrant is spewing water without a hose connected to it... but I can't think of what it could be.

[Wowman]

too waste money and resources?

[Gin]

Are those trees supposed to go right through solid wooden fencing?

You can always sink the trees down too.

Other than that, this is looking great - keep it up!

[Wowman]

Sure. That's by design. No - really its just that I get lazy and don't see all that stuff all the time.

[Wabigbear]

It's a type of ivy growing up this walls...(see, I have experience coming up with excuses! )

[Wowman]

yep - landscapers haven't weeded this attraction

 

[Wowman]

More fire fighting

 

 

[Wabigbear]

There must be a serial arsonist on the loose!
