Nature's Wonderland Model: Geyser Prototype (Rough Set-up)

Just a quick and dirty set-up of a potential answer for working geysers on the model; through the use of an ultrasonic humidifier.

Great job and ideas as always.

Do you know what the original name for the attraction was?  Was it the Rainbow Mountain Railroad or Nature's Wonderland? I saw an old paper item recently on ebay that said Rainbow Mountain Railroad. Also, did the burro ride have a name other than burro ride? Thanks.

One of the little things I really liked was the Frito's machine at the Frito's Mexican restaurant. It was a big set-up and I think the bag of chips were released in a novel way.

It called the Rainbow Caverns Mine Train. In the very early years, the name was modified on brochures and other printed material for some reason, but that's what it was called. It became Mine Train Thru Nature's Wonderland in 1960. They did have a burro ride, and it was called Rainbow Ridge Pack Mule and then later Pack Mules Through Nature's Wonderland.

There is no spurting whatsoever; it's quite tall so any large drops can't make it out of the top. Besides, it'll be connected to a much larger pipe system, there would be no way for any large amount of water to come out and be a hazard.

Have you considered just getting plastic water things and have them pop up and down? Like the fish surrounding Ariel and Eric in the Kiss the Girl scene in the little mermaid ride?

I have a humidifier at my house to keep my room moist. Its a small kind, like the one that is powering your geyser. I just have to say: do you have a way to collect the extra water? I had to put a tray under mine because some of the water that spurts out creates a puddle, and I know that could be a potential hazard to the scenery and the electric track.

I've seen alot of different terrain and scenery builds here on YT and while I can't quit put my finger on it, there's something that's just different about how you execute your projects. They have a different "feel" to them if that makes any sense to anyone else that's seen these..
