Mini Bubble Ride (V3)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thank you for buying / looking at this little build which I hope will enhance your Second Life experience.

This is the first of my bubble rides to go on sale and is also the smallest. Made following discussions / ideas with my good friend BambiTwice Nitely (see her builds too, she's not at all bad).

The idea is to have a quick, mad trip around a few tubes in a bubble whilst being bombarded with (hopefully) funny and crazy sounds.

Enjoy your SLing and have a great SLife,

Aragon Sommer

Stats of this build:

Copy - Yes Modify - Yes (for certain elements but not scripts) Transfer - No

36m x 20m at it's widest points and 29m high**

Component parts:

1 x Ramp & launch platform 8 prims
1 x Bubble rezzer 1 prim
1 x Pool of water 1 prim
1 x Series of decorated tubes
and a catcher ring 46 prims
Total prims = 56

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How to assemble:

Please follow the instructions in the notecard on how to use the Rez-Faux system.

Once the Bubble Ride is on the SIM there is an essential thing to do to make it all run smoothly. In order to keep the scripts to a minimum all the tubes were linked, but, in order for the accelerator script to rocket you up the tube, they all need to be unlinked before it will work right. If you are familiar to the technique of unlinking prims please go a head and unlink all those prims that make up the tubes ONLY.

For those that are new to building, right click the tubes, select Edit from the pie menu that appears on your screen and when the Edit wondow has opened and all the tubes are high lighted by blue and yellow lines, press the CTRL Shift L keys all together. All the blue outlines to the tubes should now be replaced with yellow lines meaning that they are now all individual prims.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How to ride:

This is the easy bit!

Simply click the ring at the top of the ramp / launch platform. A bubble will be rezzed. Right click the bubble and select "Sit Here" from the pie menu on your screen. You'll jump into the bubble and the bubble will drop into the start of the tubes. From there on in, you'll be thrown around the pipes whilst triggering weird and funny sounds. Once you finish the ride and drop out of the last tube, you can click the "Stand Up" button which will be at the bottom of your screen and you will be free to start all over again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you want to modify the tubes:

I haven't made much of this build modifiable as it's not normally necessary, however, as explained ealier in this notecard, it was necessary to leave the tubes modifiable because of the number of scripts that would have been needed if not linked, so, if you want to modify the tubes I would suggest that you do so in terms of decoration only. Moving them around or changing their measurements would impact of the ride, and, as such I cannot come to every build to correct any mistakes caused by this. I will however, do anything to ensure satisfaction

A baby version of the pumpkin ride I bought from the same builder. Leaves you wobbly kneed and ready for something bigger, like the pumpkin ride. Great fun for your guests.
