That is really cool. I guess in the off season you could use it to bread chicken at KFC. Just joking of course. I love it and you did an awesome job on it.

I love that. I was just wondering have you been on a TV show before? I swear Ive seen ur haunt videos. I could be wrong, but you did a fantastic job.

I was on the news but I missed when they aired it so I don't know what they showed. I live In Windsor Ontario Canada if that helps.

Yes there are black lights that run along the sides of the bridge that lights the dots up, I wish I had a night video. The night pictures on my web site show what they looked like at night http://www.theboogeymengraveyard.com/VORTEX2.jpg. http://www.theboogeymengraveyard.com/VORTEX3.jpg

The tunnel is a 10 foot circle with the bridge just high enough to clear the ring so you have atleast 8 feet. I made the tunnel so it can come apart so it doesn't take up much room to store.
Thanks for the replys

I used eletrical tubing it comes in 10 foot length and was easy to bend and was really cheap it cost $70 to make the tunnel rings and runners. I used clothes line pulley's and welded them to a square sheet of metal and attached them to the top of a 4x4 with alittle play cause the rings weren't 100% round. We drilled out the middle pulley on the left side, we needed to get the wheel off so we could get the fan belt around it. The ring rested on the belt for enough traction to spin the tunnel. Beside making the rings (if you got the money get the good stuuf and have a compnay bend it for you) it was really easy to make and the pay off was huge. This year i'm gonna film the contrustion of the tunnel when we put it all back together.

Hmmmm. This thread is nearly 4 years old and theboogeymengraveyard's website doesn't appear to be hosting the images anymore.
