Project Involvement Timeline

What do you do when your ride control system becomes obsolete? Bring in an animator to faithfully recreate the motion profile using modern tools.

In 2021, I spent a little over 2 months re-animating all 4 of Devin Boyle's original ride motion profiles.

As a fan of both the show and the ride, this project was a real treat.
