CMU's Spring Carnival is similar to Homecoming for other colleges. One of the main attractions of Carnival is Booth.

Student organizations build multi-story structures that fit with a chosen theme. In 2024, the overall theme was Arcade. 

Each individual booth chose a distinct video game theme. Inside each booth there are interactive games and elaborate decorations of their distinct theme.

Our Booth's theme was RollerCoaster Tycoon and our interactive game was a build-your-own roller coaster simulator.

Before creating the visuals, we tested the rise time of the motion platform.

From testing, we found that the number of people on top of the platform made an insignificant difference to the rise time of the platform. Both tests took about 7 seconds for the platform to be fully raised.

Before we could unveil our attraction to the public, we had to test the visuals and sync them to the motion platform. In this video, we are the first to test out the platform. It was awesome!

My main contribution to this project was designing the platform and making it look like a rollercoaster cart seat.

I was also an active contributor to the testing and assembly of the pneumatic system that raised and lowered the platform.
