Triple play Family Fun Park's Cody Chambers journeyed across the country from Idaho to Florida for the 2014 IAAPA EXPO. Cody got the chance to talks to our friends from Lasteron and Ropes Course about their new additions to Triple Play Family Fun Park in Hayden, Idaho. This was also a special trip fro Cody as she won the 2014 IAAPA Spirit Award!
Theme parks certainly call for spectacular special effects, and so when asked to partner with Orlando Special Effects at the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) show in Florida this year, I said yes.
But I wanted to create something that would make people understand the versatility of our fire technology, so showing a line of FirePixels across a piece of truss was not going to be good enough.
I eventually settled on building a hanging pyramid of fire. It turned out to be a great balance between showing a real application while still leaving room to imagine what else could be achieved with these effects.
Here's a short video on how we made it. To begin with, I wanted to build all plumbing and cabling inside the tubes that make up the pyramid shape. The trick is all of this had to flat pack for shipment to Florida.
It took many extra connectors, plumbing fittings and cables, but in the end the look was cleaner and more professional, without wires and hose sticking out all over the place.
Using Hollaender speed rail cast aluminum elbows allowed me to create the pyramid out of re-usable elements. I also decided to put a flat black powder coat on all the pieces, including the elbows and tees so the emphasis was on the FirePixel, not the parts and pipes.
Thanks to Orlando Special Effects for partnering with LiveSpark to produce a killer booth.
