The Halloween Time Machine Ride (Kickstarter Project)



The Halloween Time Machine Ride: A Public Art project in Oklahoma City, OK by Sam Seide

ABOUT THIS PROJECT

I want to build a simulator ride of a time machine for my home Halloween haunt. The ride will hold two riders inside the unit. They will be strapped into the time machine and the door will be shut. Three LCD screens will act as "windows" out of the time machine. The outside of the time machine will look like a dilapidated outhouse, but upon opening the door of the ride the machine will look the part of a true time machine with metal walls, lots of dials and blinking buttons displaying "data". The time machine "pilot" will be Morris the Hunchback as he stands outside the main compartment and is viewable to the riders on the LCD's. He'll be the one getting into all the hi-jinx with the various creatures and people found in the different time periods the machine travels to.
