Park props

[DrMoneyReturns]

So, I've recently been lurking the forums over at therpf, which is a community of media memorabilia fans who make their own (extremely high quality) replica props, costumes, sculpts, etc. It got me thinking...

Are there any Busch Gardens props/set pieces/costumes that would be cool to recreate?

Off the top of my head, I go straight to the Clancy puppet from Castle O'Sullivan, but I'm sure you guys can come up with other park props you like to own a quality recreation of. How 'bout it?


[btw, this is not an offer to actually build the stuff. I might do so if the mood strikes, but this is more of an ideas thread]

The wolf claw clasps from Ludwig's cape on DarKastle.

A defunct coaster/ride vehicle.

- Gimme one of those LED Drachen Fire trains

That's a cool idea, actually. I saw a guy on the forums who made a full size Falcon cockpit....so there's someone who can do it, haha.

The big bad wolf sign. Working desk top battering ram model would be cool.

 

[Ludwig II]

I would put the huge German boy with the umbrella that used to be in Rhinefield in my yard for Halloween. Now THAT would scare some kids.

I want a properly working giant TROLL.

THE MAYPOLE! Never get bored at work again!

 

[Pretzel Kaiser]

A mini version of the BBW sign.

Miniature version of DarKastle's facade & queue. It would be amazing.

facade queue

What this is?

 

[Zachary]

Forgot the "and" there. Rushed posts from a phone never end well.

If they could make little models of the stations or buildings and sell them at a reasonable price, that would be epic.

 

[morte615]

Random thought, they have all the construction plans I wonder if they could ever be convinced to input the plans and set it up for 3D printers.

Imagine printing out the wolf statue from the Dark Kastle que at home!

Even if they wouldn't do it for at home 3D printers it would be pretty easy to send the plans in to a manufacture and get them made out of plastic for a reasonable price.

How about a to scale model of Das Festhaus with the glass window and everything

Also just because, scaled or replicated grape stomping barrels and glow stands

 

[chickenking]

Sounds like a cool playset.

I've often thought they should do department 56 style versions of the park's iconic buildings for Christmas...

Ehh, I'm not a big fan of Christmas, so I would just want their normal season appearances.

I meant producing them for Christmas, not producing them as they look during CT - sorry about the lack of clarity.
