High quality WDI slide scans of Pirates of the Caribbean. These photos were taken approximately a month before the attraction’s opening on March 18, 1967 #PiratesOfTheCaribbean #Disneyland

ignore the missing bits, its being worked on away from the main floor to make it easier to see stuff then will be transplanted onto the existing eyes n stuff!

Hex updaaaate🫶

whoopsie got sidetracked and started figuring out how the hell im gonna support the drum my head hurts😅

hello 🫶 my brain is full of ideas of how to make a functioning mechanic position feedback system to run the pneumatics for lego Hex it involves strimmer line, a coaxial cable stripper, some lego technic bits from 20-30 years ago and a lot of headscratching

Hex updaaaate 🫶 @altontowers.bsky.social

she holds her baby

Finishing touches 🐸🎅

A branch has fallen in Lego City! @altontowers.bsky.social

hmmmmmmmmm i have an idea

RIPsaw A New Pin Joins The Collection (broke my rule of not getting pins for rides ive not been on for this but its cool and ive been on A huss topspin, just not this one 🤣)

Okay but we love it already?

Suspend your disbelief. The Phalanx development advances.

deffo havent spent the entire afternoon making a singular window....

OIOIII much better

aaaaaaaaand its too big 😂 no room left above for the windows hmmph

the ONE piece that will work for the dogs on the crest above Hex's front entrance...is lego scooby doo sorry pal, youre gonna need to be spray painted light grey😥

If you had to choose just ONE of the incredible #AttractionPosters that #TimDelaney designed for #DisneylandParis as your favourite, which one would it be? 😍

gives me chills whenever i watch it

best panning shot ive seen of stealth ever good lord🫶

Stealth! #thorpepark #themepark #rollercoaster #merlinannualpass #themeparkphotography #rollercoasters #thorpeparkresort #coaster #thorpeparkofficial #themeparks #photography #amusementpark #stealth #intamin

hmm 🧐 what could this be?

todays work daydream: how could i make a pneumatic clutch mechanism a la HUSS topspin from lego not the exact model thats used but basically a big set of plates on an inflatable bladder that grip onto the inner part (i think)

Ordered some of these! But! what am i using them for? 🧐 got a non-lego closed season project i wanna do🫶

not that i need any more projects lmao. but im pretty sure i could make it work

the main drive would be relatively easy, 4 motors, 2 each side, with a bevel gear or something driving the outer gear on a technic turntable. the air brake for the gondola would be pneumatic cylinders possibly interacting with a car clutch or just.. jamming a gear to lock off the spin. hmmmmmmm

not me spending like 2 hours at work daydreaming about how to make a lego version

BUZZING honestly, it looks imposing already🫶

Phalanx's latest project is here.

the gaps will be where plates are gonna go

managed to brace the hinged door into the wall

if anyone spots someone in the queue for Hex next season taking photos of the ceiling, its probably me! i need to find out what the ceiling in the first bit before the armory looks like😅

when you want to be REALLY sure the Big Spiky Thing wont fall out (also lego why do you not do 3 hole half-beams that dont have axle holes?? pls???????)
