DIY Motion Simulator/Dark Ride | Intergalactic Adventures | POV

[@talkaboutwacky]

Really well done. Looks like your house is the spot everyone goes to every Halloween

[@moistpotatogaming]

this was so cool and deserves way more views

[@josephwright2270]

All I can note is that You may need extra hands with "Set Decor" from being so busy with the whole engineering process. Your work deserves full immersion.

[@calrustad5746]

I totally agree! Stay tuned for part 3 of this years Project: Oasis attraction, fit with full immersive queue and lighting !

[@josephwright2270]

Seriously doc everything please!! This is incredible. I checked out the other videos.. I subscribed. I've seen dark rides and simple step motors on tracks with proxy sensors in the diy realms but this is on another level of impressive for something at home. I work with Theme park techs in FL and I'm definitely showing them this channel. Phenomenal!

[@GeorgeStreicherMusic]

Wow, phenomenal work!

[@emersonwalker6067]

This is so creative! I love this!

[@jbponzi1]

Great idea and execution

[@theeverythingprodoctions5561]

I think it needs a bigger screen. And also this is really cool!

[@fieldfilmz]

So sweet! What controls everything?

[@calrustad5746]

It is a custom made ride controller, utilizing a combination of arduino hardware and software running on a laptop handling the AV side of things. Email me for details [e-mail]!

[@fieldfilmz]

@@calrustad5746 cool, thanks! I figured it was probably arduino based. I've conceived a similar project using an industrial logic controller (plc) and a raspberry pi running FPP

[@fieldfilmz]

@@calrustad5746 did you make the animation yourself?

[@calrustad5746]

@@fieldfilmz the film was made by Yessian and Pixomondo for a now defunct theme park in China, (Yessian ended up posting the ride video as portfolio work) I scrapped all of the audio and wrote my own script, did all sound effects work, and added in all of the music. You can find more about the source material here! www.yessian.com/experiential?play=star-journey

[@fieldfilmz]

@@calrustad5746 that's really neat! I never figured that someone would post something like that. Great job!

[@gababinet]

Can you make a tutorial please

[@troymcdonald]

Awesome!

[@Andrew-lr9rz]

Man this is amazing I've built one worked on it for a year but I how no footage to sync with the motion can I buy the video part for my ride???

[@calrustad5746]

Email me, [e-mail]

[@Andrew-lr9rz]

​@@calrustad5746 hi there awhile ago I asked if I could buy a video for my homemade simulator if so I would love to please contact me if possible serious about it loved ur youtube video amazing I thank u will be pleased with mine also.

[@Andrew-lr9rz]

U there

[@calrustad5746]

@@Andrew-lr9rz yes, please email me [e-mail]! Thanks.

[@mylife14748]

This is kinda similar to star tours

[@darkride_enthusiast69420]

question is, was the on ride film found online or custom

[@calrustad5746]

The actual visuals weren’t animated by me… the script, vocal recording, sfx, and audio was all done in house and the visuals were stitched to match our custom story ;) for more info email me [e-mail]

[@darkride_enthusiast69420]

@@calrustad5746 thats actually impressive

[@RealCoasterCarnivore]

I need a tutorial

[@DreamWevr]

Amazing! How much was the cost to build?

[@calrustad5746]

We had a lot of the electronics required already, (along with some of the building materials) but my best estimate is a few thousand.

[@joeybennett887]

This was spectacular! Wonderful job! How big was the air tank that you used?

[@calrustad5746]

6 Gallons for the launch, 10 gallons for the motion platform.

[@pixelvisioner]

Awesome work! I have a similar (smaller scale) simulator project in the works with a single rider using an arcade game motion base. How much travel did each airbag give?

[@calrustad5746]

If I remember correctly around 9 inches, the whole platform could tilt 19 degrees forward and backward and roll 10 degrees left and right!
