PROJECT APPLICATION
ASK
Task
Create a point cloud of the Dragon Coaster in Playland Amusement Park
PROBLEM
- The client needed an exterior point cloud of the nearly 100-year-old roller coaster to help them preserve its infrastructure since it’s a nationally recognized roller coaster landmark
- They needed scan data of the whole 80-foot-tall ride and 3,400-foot-long track, which would be close to impossible with traditional methods
Solution
- GPRS deployed terrestrial laser scanners and aerial photogrammetry to accurately document the entirety of the Dragon Coaster, including the inside of the dragon’s mouth
- GPRS’ in-house Mapping & Modeling Team used the scan data and photogrammetric images collected by the Project Managers to create a full exterior model of the roller coaster
Benefits
- The 2-4mm accurate scans provided the client with a hyper-realistic digital model of the coaster that allows them to zoom in on cracks and other defects
- The deliverables will serve as references when they plan any renovations to preserve the historical ride
- The GPRS team delivered the models to the client less than a week after they completed the scans
