Castle Drop Ride

Another themed amusement park ride, this time, medieval. It is partially inspired by the Acrophobia in Six Flags over Georgia.
 To add to the castle theme, I used some 1x2 bricks on top of the wall to look like the top of a castle.
 We have a wall of weapons over here, a spear, sword, mace, crossbow and regular bow.
 Suit of armor and window over here.
 View of the wall and flag. You can see the back of the wall of weapons. The weapons are held onto the wall using clip plates. Other plates fill in the gaps.
 A 2x2 plate and 1x2 plate make stairs going up to the ride seat.
 Three 1x2x5 bricks topped with a 2x3 plate make a handle for you to operate the ride, moving the seat up and down.
 Emmet is having second thoughts about going on this...
 The part the seat slides down is a plate, covered in tiles for a smooth ride.
 A 1x2 plate and a 1x2 grille are what it attaches to. The grille is just there for the base to rest on, since the side of the plate and tiles don't have studs to attach. A tile could be used as a subsitute for the grille.
 I didn't have enough tiles to do it all one color, so I used a mix of gray and black.
 The seat has a hole so it can slide up and down.
 Fitting it over the plate/tile pole.

 Action shot!
Going down!
 You can move the rider up and down using the tall handle attached to the back of the seat. Have fun!
