about the rig

Rollercoaster rig for Top Thrill 2’s media day. This ride went 120mph and was Cedar Points newest and baddest ride. Camera pointing forward and another pointed backward at the news reporters. Flew in with gear packed into pelicans. Travelled light but efficient with DP Jeff Nolde’s complete coaster rigging package. Ratcheted all our parts to the coaster multiple ways, multiple directions. Coaster had holes under the seats we slid speedrail through and ratcheted it down. Hard mounted off that for added security. Ball leveling heads for the cameras and obviously an extreme amount of triangulation.

Rigged the center of gravity as far toward the back of the bucket without interfering with any bucket tilt capabilities in order to help with adjusted weight.
