Tower of Terror Theater
Well-Known Member
So I am working on a Tower of Terror recreation in my home, and part of the set consists of an approximate 13' x 9' photo of the Tower of Terror Boiler furnaces printed on a semipermeable vinyl banner. In order to increase the realism and illusion of depth, I have been adding lighting effects as shown in this video. I will also be adding some faux steam pipes shortly. The lighting effects were created simply placing small LEDs behind the vinyl banner where there are two overhead lights seen and an illuminated green instrument panel light. The boiler furnace fire effects were created by placing some commercially purchased LEDs made to simulate flame and mounting them in a thin styroform mold with a light-blocking screen to only allow the flame light to be seen in the open holes in the grates and not through solid areas of the grates or the boiler structure.
