This ride was developed nearly 20 years ago by a company in Kolkatta, and most of its control electronics were obsolete and outdated. Ideas Unlimited, Mysuru was tasked with reviving the ride with brand new electronics, easier command and control center which can be operated with very little training, while ensuring full Safety of the show/ride.

We took about 5-6 months to reverse engineer the hydraulic /pneumatic /electrical lines and come out with brand new, more reliable and maintainable systems with custom software developed by Ideas Unlimited to control the full show.

First, we mapped the existing system, identified which parts are running on Hydraulics, pneumatics and electrical drives. Then the wiring was individually tested manually and documented and then began design of our new hardware and complete control system from the scratch!

Part of the main control electronics for the entire show!

Reorganizing the wiring systems to take control of the full show!
