I Built a Theme Park BOAT RIDE In My Garden!

[@justagrainofsalt]

DUDE oh my god all that build up and I still was caught off guard by the absolute scale and immersion of this whole thing?? Felt like I got on an actual ride, then thought I was actually in danger, then realised it was just a park ride at the end. As an artist too this is just genuinely crazy to see😭 the sheer patience and endurance to get thru this is so freakin impressive but have to say absolutely paid OFF!!! Major props to you and your family and friends!

Chris, I just watched this with my kids (8 and 6 years old) and the look of wonder on their faces was absolutely magical. The fact that you showed "how the trick works" made it even more special. Thank you for educating while entertaining the next generation.

[@UnderToWonder]

This is literally insane. We watched on the TV, but I had to come on this morning to comment. The time and effort you put in is always evident, but this was next level. To highlight such a deserving and related charity was really lovely, too. Well done on such a fantastic project and video! Laughed, cried, jumped, and got extra excited for my DLP trip next year. Thank you!

A fun Disney park fact: the pirates ride in Shanghai had an issue where given the way the boats move (magnets) the boats are forced through the water at consistent speeds. For those who immediately see a problem, you're better than the people who worked on it. If you force water through a channel, congrats, you've made a pump. So the end of the ride area started flooding and the start of the ride had low water levels. This was solved by a temporary industrial pump to recirculate the water (that is now permanent).

[@lightninglily644]

But I do think one of the Legoland Parks should hire Half-Asleep Chris to scale this up into human sized ACTUAL Theme Park Ride! I know I'd probably be interested in riding it if it was scaled up to be big enough for people to ride it. Plus, Half-Asleep Chris already got the transmission recordings and underwater camera feed all wrapped in a nice little bow. Heck they could even add a lego minifigure of Chris sitting by a radio transmitter (or whatever they call those big radio box-shaped transmitters for sending & receiving messages) and as an added bonus Johnny Thunder holding his whip at the camp site. (o)_(o) wait, that's actually a pretty solid idea... ... .... Quick! Someone find and call the phone number for one of the Legoland Theme Parks! We should ask them if they are willing to make this into an actual ride. They could even add a crashed lego plane with smoke machines around it at the start of the ride to really empathize that your one of the few confirmed survivors of a plane crash.❤😂

[@DieCastoms]

with the number of video cuts, this did not need to be a single continuous river, but it's pretty awesome! try adding 'whiskers' to the front and back of your boats. maybe something like zip ties sticking out. they will have to be soft (long) enough to bend fairly easily but still give enough resistance to push the boat away from the absolute edges. the pumps might work like the ones at Disney if you just space them out along the river, and let it run a few minutes to get the water to actually cycle. the water being expelled from one pump towards the inlet of the next might make the difference. Ending the river at the campsite made a lot of sense, though. I like it. the flying bug at the end of the trip added a lot to the scene!! Maybe add fish? keep it up.
