Excellent to see a Flipper. I saw it at the hobbyshop but decided to buy X-Files DVD's instead downstairs at HMV. Can you tell us how the main platform of the ride elevates?

Ok, lol gonna be a bit hard to explain but here goes: At the back of the platform, the motor is held. a wheel, and arm is then connected to the motor. These then connect into an arm that is then connected to the main lifting arm. As the motor turns, the arm lifts the main ride boom up and down at a slow pace. For operation of the plate, the faller motors have the little pin at the back that you are able to connect the wire tubing into, this then connects into a pin at the top of the lifting boom, to control the spinning of the plate. Very well done I must say, even though the motor had some jamming problems, but now it seeems to be running fine chris
