Phoenix Flight One

[coasterdude5]

Continuing on my geeky-childish backyard park obsession, I've made yet another ride. And no I didn't get it from the movie FotP!!!

 

This ride is in Stevenson Studios park (the upstairs of our house) since My friends and I have made over 25 movies there. Now onto the ride.

 

You enter into the room through the game room into the ride room. You sit down in the office chair and put on the old seatbelt I use. The ride starts out with a strobe light blasting you as you sit down. I tell you the rules (for the little ones that ride). Then you start out in the "space craft on the taxi. You pass by a motion picture of a city and a recorded narrator says that might be the last sight of earth you see. The music is great! I use some slow Star Wars/classical space music for the taxi.

 

The calming music comes to a screeching halt as you stop the narrartor turns on ignition etc. and you count down 5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1.. LAUNCH.

I hurtle the chair across the room while shaking it into a regular old ramp that I bought from Toys-r-Us. It spins at the top and heads back down. It spins and stuff then you stop at my PC for the 3D portion of the ride.

 

You've landed on a planet and you are sucked into the track jetstream (coaster section). After that you hurtle back towards earth but you land in the middle of a meteor field. The music goes great with this part. Its the same music as when Anakin & Obi Wan are fighting at the end of Star Wars. If little kids are riding I grab the top of the chair and start spinning. I've heard this part is more intense than spinning coasters! (Zamperela!)

Then you speed up the ramp and go back to the loading area.

 

I'm sure that was confusing! In the last few days I've had about 20 people ride it and I've heard it's awesome. I know it's geeky but its so cool when you see people older than you screaing!

 

Here's the promo line for the ride: Every mission has a beggining, Every experiment has a test.

Yeah, pics would be good.

Also I don't get the slogin.

Every Mission has a beginning < True

Every Experiment has a test< Umm..but an experiment IS a test :?

It should be: Every Expirement has a Beggining, Every Mission has Test.

[Coasters 4 ever]

Why is everyone misspelling beginning? That ride sounds cool.

That's what I meant to type. I was half asleep last night while I was typing.

Can't, my nightshot sucks! I got a POV and it looked like green fuzz. Sorry

So you push someone around in a chair.
