We just got back from Funtown Splashtown USA where we freshened up the giant Chinese dragon entryway we made for their Dragon's Descent ride. It's a fantastic sculpture measuring 31 feet wide by 18 feet high. We made this amazing sculpt back in 2001. It took us 60 days to complete at 18 hour days and earned us IAAPA's honorable mention award for "Best New Product".
The dragon had 2,189 large scales each with 5 hash cuts, thats 10,945 cuts. The medium scales amounted to over 1000 and small scales amounted to over 650. It was delivered in 5 sections on 2 flatbed trucks
You can see photos of how we made it here.
Funtown Splashtown USA is a beautiful place and we wish we could have stayed through the weekend to enjoy the rides and attractions.
Alas, duty called and we were off to our next project at Canobie Lake Park to repaint a shark kiosk that serves frozen ice. The weather was perfect for shark painting, bright sunshine and a nice breeze and the sound of peacocks calling in the background. Being city folk, we were awed by all the beautiful birds at the park that weren't pigeons. We hope to return soon to Canobie and enjoy this historic park especially when our new signs are installed. You can see the giant fries, sub sandwich, pizza and sub sandwich in the videos posted here previously.
Gio promises to work all weekend on new videos for the blog and believe me, they'll be worth the wait. Maybe my dancing on top of the dragon's back will make the director's cut! (and then again maybe not)
