Garner Holt Productions completes a historic refurb of the classic Knott’s attractions, “The Calico Mine Ride,” using Weigl hardware for both animation control and RFID audio playback triggering.  

Multiple ProCommander® 2 control units and distributed Pro I/O™ modules were used to integrate the animation playback systems with park lighting control and attraction triggers.

Onboard audio was provided via ProCommander® ES controllers and track RFID sensors using Weigl’s powerful ASCII scripting language.

 

These interviews detail the refurbishment of over 100 figures on both the Calico Mine Train and the Nature’s Wonderland (now currently Big Thunder Mountain) and the large undertaking it was to refurbish these classic attractions.
