Thread: Pirates of the Caribbean Fake Fire?

Tweet

Has anybody here duplicated the fire effect seen on the Disney Pirates of the Caribbean ride? The one with a reflective fabric background and a fan and an orange light? One of the rooms in my haunt has a pirate theme and I was thinking of having the fire effect at a window at the back of the room.

Surprisingly (with all the recent pirate craze and halloween etc) there seems to be only one link describing this on the internet:

However there are no pictures, no commentary, and nobody saying if this actually works. I think the most delicate part is finding the right material to use in the breeze. I'm not sure what "silver silk" is but I was experimenting with dry cleaning bags (probably a lighter material than "silver silk") and it didnt seem to be fluttering enough. Maybe there is a trick to how you hang it or where you position the fan.

There are some good tutorials for simulating fire on the main Halloween build sites:
