Theme Park
Back in 1994, Bullfrog Productions created the video game Theme Park. Since 2016 I have been working on recreating the game... using LEGO. It has now been 6 years, and I am not yet done, so what is taking so long? Well. I want the visitors to try out the rides when possible - not just stay inside of a single ride.
Rather than continuing posting a new thread for each module, I will use this thread for all the content regarding this project.
This first post will contain an index of presentations, and will be updated as new rides and other content is finished.

Thanks. I should perhaps consider such a visit for research
Meanwhile, here is the latest shop. It is the:
Saloon
The video shows the building process. If you do not have time to skim through it, then here are some details:
As seen in the video "thumbnail", there is a bar and bartender inside:
In the video I show how the bar and interior is built. The largest challenge was to have the bartender hold a cloth for cleaning the glass. It took me around 6 minutes to make it work. it is a "Minifigure Bandana / Scarf" from the old LEGO Western figures.
The module is interactive. Visitors can activate the "hand wave" sensor to have their favourite minifig visit the saloon.
The black inner track lifts and lowers to help people either enter or pass by the saloon.
Since the module is powered by a Technic Hub and uses 2 ports for sensors, only 2 motors can be used. A red differential is used to multiply the functionality of one motor, so that the inner track can both run and lift/lower.
In the video I try to demonstrate the motor multiplication technique with a separate build. I do not know if this is the best way to demonstrate the principle without speaking. Please tell me if you have better ideas. The next 2 planned modules will have even more motor multiplication going on.
