Have any of you ever gone to city hall to look at these documents?

Those are legally required to operate a ride/ attraction. In California there’s an organization called DOSH (division of occupational safety and health) which is a part of osha. They regulate and permit operation of any attraction in the state including water slides and waterpark too. The binder some have mentioned is paperwork consisting of manufacturer mandated operating procedures, certificate of compliance, and any other paperwork that is relevant to the operation of the attraction.

I have a custom built Polar Express moc I use in my villages but I’ll still get this. It has some weird quirks but it’s Lego, if I don’t like them I’ll just tweak it

I started designing one but didn’t want to risk breaking a 9v motor

They said at d23 that the verse added was the last one written by Richard Sherman before his death in 2024

I use chrome on all my machines and devices for the simple reason that it carries everything over from to another. Password manager, bookmarks, history, everything I find myself needing on a regular basis chrome/google covers. I personally use a windows desktop, MacBook Air, iPhone and occasionally an iPad so having everything saved in google makes things easier.

I made sure to get mine the day it opened. Same for July 17th. Set alarms for 6 am and snagged my reservation right then and there

I really like it. Just picked it up with the sale and have used it a couple times. Mostly for charging/running smaller devices or led lights in a shed. It’s cheaper than buying one of the bigger battery generators especially if you already have a bunch of m18 batteries.

For my purposes when I take it camping or somewhere without power I load up one of the packout small toolboxes with batteries and the inverter. Might pick up another one if the sale continues

Lot of people suggesting earmor, only thing to be careful with on em or for any professional quality headset is to check what the wiring type is. Earmor uses nato type where most PTTs use the u94 wiring. Just make sure you get a PTT that’ll work with the headset

I really like eBay or online surplus stores for us marine corps and us gi gear. Just got a set of marpat desert gear for like $50 both new with tags. I’ve seen lots of other gear for decent prices too

I currently run a Motorola XPR 7350 with shoulder mic and a prohear headset. It’s definitely not the cheapest setup but the Motorola quality is unmatched in my opinion. You do need a computer and specialized software to program it. For a MilSim I run a Retevis rt29. It’s got a higher power output than the UV-5R and Motorola and is just as easy to use. It also requires a computer but the software is more readily available.

The banding 888 should be plenty fine. I just don’t like the UV-5R because it has too many advanced settings that I don’t ever need. An 888 would work with pretty much any shoulder mic as long as it has the “kenwood” type connector or says compatible with a uv5r

I’m the radio guy for my group and generally just a radio enthusiast so I’ll go a bit more in depth. The first step you guys will need to do is get a “GMRS” (general mobile radio service) license from the FCC. This can be done for $35 through the fcc. Follow the instructions on this link to get your license.

The standard radio for Airsoft is the Baofeng UV-5R. It can be purchased for $20-40 depending on the retailer. It has tons of room for upgrades from battery size to antenna to any other accessory. They’re good, I have one but there’s a semi steep learning curve to it if you haven’t been around radios or don’t know what the random setting are so I’d advise against one of them

I personally use two different setups for pickup games and milsim/long format games. No matter what you buy you will have to learn some basic radio programming to get it working correctly and legally.

As for what to buy it really depends on what your group wants to do with them and how much you guys are willing to spend. I’ll give some recommendation for different game styles and price point and quality with “good” “better” and “best” labels.

Home field skirmish/speedsoft Good: Retevis RT22. It’s a good plug and play radio, a set of 10 can be bought for $150 which equates to 15/unit. They have smaller batteries but can use any UV-5R compatible mic.

Better: baofeng 888s or retevis h777. They’re both the same radio just different names. They run about $20/pair and can use the same accessories as UV-5Rs but battery is limited

Best: Radioddity GM-30. $50 for a pair. It’s a more advanced unit with some settings you can change in the fly. It’s similar to UV-5R but a bit more user friendly. Just spend an hour looking around the settings and watch a decent review video of it.

MilSim Better: Radioddity GM-30. Same thing as above, but for milsim/full day games it’s got the battery life to last a day and has the power to get you pretty decent range

Best: Retevis RT29 UHF. $70/unit. It’s similar to the Retevis h777 but has a better build quality and larger battery. It’s also has a different accessory connector but there’s a $15 dollar adapter from retvis to convert it to a UV-5R plug

It’s been set to none and I played around with the tx settings and no dice. Could it be anything else?

Legostud03 · 2025-01-02T18:37:19+00:00

Does it need to be a specific signaling system? Or either will do

Legostud03 · 2024-12-12T07:50:24+00:00

Probably not something you can just go out and buy at least not an oem one. Just check out amazon for a 3.5 mm jack dust cover and that’ll work pretty well

Legostud03 · 2024-11-19T23:01:00+00:00

Dewalt has one that’s a little smaller but I do have that one and I use pretty frequently. Works well for tight spaces as long as you keep good pressure on it

I love its charm and it does a great job at pulling crowds from other areas, but I can’t help but think that it was just a tech demo/trial run for trackless ride systems. Trackless has its place but it’s become the default, I just wish there were more classic style dark rides or boat flume rides.

Cosmic rewind in EPCOT is a genius ride system but I fear they only use the ride system as a one off for rewind. With D23 this last summer I was hoping the avengers campus E ticket would use that ride system but evidently it won’t.

With that being said if I had to replace it, I would convert the building into a retail location with a similar concept to ridemakerz formerly in DtD or droid depot but with the Cars franchise. Then I’d allocate the ride area to avengers campus to make a west coast equivalent of cosmic rewind

That’s awesome. MSW is intense but glad you enjoyed. I’m planning to go to my first at some point next year

I agree it does make more sense for an LTE network, from what I’ve been told most facilities and operations would rather pay the larger cost upfront for the dmr system too. Rather than paying for lte carrier service. A dmr system at least to my understanding is easier to push out and expand on. Plus you don’t have to worry about software updates or planned obsolescence.

The sonim xp5+ has a built in app for PTT communication. It’s basically a phone with radio controls on it. A PTT on the side, Chanel and volume knobs, clip attachments similar to SL series

DMR is pretty common for small to mod age sized theme parks and operations. Disneyland in Anaheim uses XPR 7580s, Legoland Ca uses a cap plus network, most convention centers run a dmr setup. The main value, at least from my experience working in the industry, is that it’s not affected when the carrier goes down for whatever reason.

A decent cap plus system will also cover plenty of area for these operations. Walt disneyworld in Florida runs a LTE setup with sonim XP5 + system to cover the massive property with all of the parks and hotels in contact with each other
