The ride will be open on their campus from April 12-14, 2019 for CMU's annual Spring Carnival with free admission. The Old Mill is a new spin on the classic ride, taking guests on a journey through a CMU building that has been transformed into "a museum of steel worker history that was erected in a 20th-century steel mill". Guests will board tour vehicles with a guide that will walk them through the ins and outs of steel production. Along the way, guests will have exciting encounters with blast furnaces, industrial machinery, and other relics of Pittsburgh's past! Kennywood's Oldest Ride The Old MIll opened at Pittsburgh's Kennywood Park in 1901. It was a slow, "tunnel-of-love" boat ride through spooky scenes. Eventually, The Old Mill was rethemed into Garfield's Nightmare, based on the eponymous orange cat in the comics, to mixed reception from guests. The ride still remains Kennywood's oldest ride, but its conversion into Garfield's Nightmare spawned several petitions for restoration to its original theme, garnering tens of thousands of signatures. To this day, The Old Mill is beloved by Piitsburghers who remember its campy brand of fun. Carnegie Mellon's "Fungineers" Carnegie Mellon University is known for its academic prowess and emphasis on interdisciplinary education. Roly Garcia, a junior in Information Systems and long-time Disney fanatic, had dreamt of building a real ride his whole life. He soon discovered that one of his team members had begun the Theme Park Engineering Group club, full of students also looking to achieve their dreams in the theme park industry. The two groups merged their manpower to make Garcia's idea a possibility. History Reborn With their newfound members, the team began brainstorming ideas for their ride, which would be the first fully-functional ride built by students in the entire world. Garcia and his "fungineering" group searched left and right for their inspiration, which eventually came from their local amusement park, Kennywood. To show their love for the rich history and culture of Pittsburgh, the team chose the classic boat ride as the frame for their story. They would add a rich story to The Old Mill by bringing guests into the fictional Garfield Steel Works Museum, which told the story of the people who worked the (also fictional) Garfield Steel Works during its golden age. The museum intends to begin its grand opening with a new, automated guided tour system. However, the system seems to be acting haywire when guests decide to board, sending them on an exhilarating journey through the old mill. Once they had their concept, Garcia (now the official director of the project) went to work acquiring approvals and funding. Within several weeks, Garcia went from having a team of five to having full funding, university approval, and even an official state ride inspector! Be sure to visit The Old Mill when it is open, April 12-14, 2019!

In this episode we track the life of WINGS OVER WASHINGTON - one of the best new independent attractions in the world, from concept through opening. We speak to the industry leaders that made up the All-Star team that delivered this one-of-a-kind experience; Kyle Griffith, Bill Butler and Garner Holt, Cindy Emerick, Brian Yessian, Jeff Dittenber, plus Brent Young and Robert Coker. Discussion on all aspects of this massive production in this epic podcast. Hold on to you seats and get ready to fly. Wings Over Washington, This state-of-the-art ride takes guests on a thrilling aerial tour of some of Washington State's most stunning natural environments: Olympic National Forest, the San Juan Islands, Snoqualmie Falls, the Cascade Mountains, and more. The entire 20-minute-long guest experience includes a special-effects-filled pre-show and a fully themed theater, including custom animatronics by Garner Holt Productions. The main show theater is designed to look like a stargazing observation platform in the forest above Elliott Bay. "We wanted to create more than just a beautiful travelogue of this amazing state," said Brent Young, Super 78's President and Creative Director. "So we developed a complete story that takes guests on a magical adventure. Inside the theater, the ride film is displayed with a system designed by Electrosonic state-of-the art Christie digital laser projectors.Binaural sound is delivered to each guest through the ride vehicle, from Dynamic Structures,complimenting the theater's own complex surround sound system. Wings Over Washington also boasts a custom musical score supervised by Yessian Music, with a main theme composed by Antonio Di lorio and performed by the Northwest Sinfonia, conducted by David Sabee. Morethan 30 members of the Sacred Water Canoe Family, a Native American vocal and percussion group, also performed for the attraction's score. About Miners Landing Miners Landing is located on Pier 57 on Seattle's historic waterfront. On August 17, 1896, the SS Portland docked near the site of what is now the pier. On board was a ton of gold, brought back from the Yukon by 68 lucky prospectors. The landing of the Portland made headlines across the world, triggering the Klondike gold rush and turning Seattle into a boomtown. Over the next century, Pier 57 was a shipping terminal and then used for fish processing before being acquired by the Port of Seattle. The Griffith family officially acquired Pier 57 during the early 1980s, which they still own and operate to this date. The pier has become the site of multiple beloved Seattle attractions, including great eateries such as The Crab Pot and the FishermanÅs Restaurant, as well as The Seattle Great Wheel. Wings Over Washington is its most recent addition.
