We got a fun phone call from Pacific Park on the Santa Monica Pier. They asked us to produce a life size realistic figure of the Jolly Elf himself; Santa Claus. The kicker? They wanted him to ride along with park guests in the last car of their roller coaster.
Sure it had unique parameters, but thats what this industry is all about! The thought of Kris Kringle and his rosy red cheeks imprinted with a grin from ear to ear as he enjoys the thrill of a good coaster ride - We're in!
To get things rolling (no pun intended) their staff sent over the specifications and dimensions of the coaster car. Our artists and technicians then moved to various stages of fabrication and production to create a Santa Claus that would be exposed to some unique environmental conditions.
The result? Well, please see the photo below that was featured in the local news. It speaks for itself!
