Thread: pulling my hair out

Tweet

no matter what I try I can't get my zip line ghost to work if it's not the tree it wont slide down. can;t have to much of a drop or it will start to take out the children I don't know whatr else to try. so now the only thing left is I think to scrap the idea and think of somthing else new and fast

Whats your set up?Maybe if we had some info we could give better ideas.Can a pulley work?

the last post was kinda a vent but the plan is
I have a zip line set up from a tree beside my house then goes down accross the drive way to another tree the plan is when the people come un the drive way with there attention foccused on something else I have set up from last year which is face this year they will trigger a light that goes on pointing up at the ghost which then is realised and flyes down then leaves out just above head but keeps getting stuck on a smaller tree in front or just stops because not enough of a decline for it to pick up speed

Just some initial thoughts based on what you said:

• Remove all obstacles (small tree branches?)
• Pull the line as taught as possible and add more weight to the ghost.
• If you are not, use a pulley and use graphite or some other lubricant on the pulley wheel.
