Thread: Building an Elevator... HELP!

Tweet

Nice thing about lifting it from above would be the ability to slowly turn the elevator around while it is occupied so that when the doors open, people will exit the elevator to your "underground" set.

Maybe consider purchasing or even building some tactile transducers. There also known bass shakers and typically used for home theater simulations.

You could try the design outlined here:

What about the Helevator that Boneyard Bargains does? I can't find the link on their site for the info on what it did anymore. The site is Boneyardbargains (yes...it's the Canadian one, lol).
Here's a link to where they sell the plans plans
I'm not suggesting that you buy them, but you might be able to figure out how to do it on your own from their description, if you can find it.

Got me thinking about another way to have a different scene upon exiting the elevator. Maybe easier than the rotating elevator.

I vote for the fake wall less parts simple and easy to change if you ever change themes/scenes

redrom, That's a great idea! Very clever.

This guy did his by slowly moving the whole elevator to another room while the guests were desending, he used air bags to mimic the feel of going up or down and bounce the guests around.

You could also have them exit thru the back door of the elevator like many freight elevators or elevators in hospitals which commonly have 2 doors in the elevator.

I recall reading something along the lines of having customers/guests on a moving surface adds tons of liability and needs to get inspected as if it was a ride? Came across that when was considering having a spinning floor, hopefully someone can elaborate on that or correct me.
