Excellent work. What a project. 👏👏👏👏👏

[Kimpton @Kimpton_Ltd]

When it is complete, it will provide power for 950,000 homes and save 1.7 million tonnes of CO2. https://t.co/lJcPs3fd1u

Our experience in this sector stretches back well over 20 years and we have completed projects for water rides across the world. https://t.co/q8dz6BCl4l

[Garmendale @Garmendale]

There is some serious engineering underneath a water ride that few would ever even notice https://t.co/q8dz6BCl4l

[Garmendale @Garmendale]

Like any ride or system within a theme park, water rides need mechanical repairs, upgrades and alterations to ensure they run smoothly and to absolutely minimise downtime https://t.co/q8dz6BCl4l

[Garmendale @Garmendale]

When it comes to water ride refurbishment, you can trust Garmendale. https://t.co/q8dz6BCl4l

[Garmendale @Garmendale]

And here it is all completed, ready to run and welcome its first paying visitors. Five years on and it's still running like electrical clockwork https://t.co/dAjxacT1lq 8/8

[Garmendale @Garmendale]

When you see the whole ride area without the projection screens in place, you realise the overall scale of the project. https://t.co/dAjxacT1lq 7/8

[Garmendale @Garmendale]

Installation took place by our team on-site in the Netherlands and involved a lot of heavy lifting gear https://t.co/dAjxacT1lq 6/8

[Garmendale @Garmendale]

When completed, packing all of the ride components for transport, is a bit of an artform https://t.co/dAjxacT1lq 5/8

[Garmendale @Garmendale]

And the theming for the cars was completed on-site too to give it the correct look for the ride and its back-story https://t.co/dAjxacT1lq 4/8

[Garmendale @Garmendale]

Fabrication of the ride chassis took place over a few months in our Derbyshire workshop https://t.co/dAjxacT1lq 3/8

[Garmendale @Garmendale]

It all started on the drawing board with a concept for a ride to deliver 60 people into an immersive tunnel https://t.co/dAjxacT1lq 2/8

[Garmendale @Garmendale]

Five years ago we completed an amazing project to design and build the Forbidden Caves dark ride at Bobbejaanland. Here's the story in eight tweets about what we did and how we did it https://t.co/dAjxacT1lq 1/8

But if you do have an emergency engineering situation over Christmas, our standby engineering teams can be mobilised to get you back up and running asap. Just call the office https://t.co/ETz1b2DHlT

[Garmendale @Garmendale]

We're getting ready for our shutdown, so from all of us, we wish you Seasons Greetings. https://t.co/ETz1b2DHlT

But he's happiest at his workbench, starting the process of building theme park rides from the smallest components upwards https://t.co/uEUVCwm1FL

[Garmendale @Garmendale]

but in another life he's also trained as a stand-up comedian and LOVED the adrenalin hit of a live show https://t.co/uEUVCwm1FL

[Garmendale @Garmendale]

He has an ongoing project to restore the beautiful Lucy, his pride and joy, which is a Concours 1963 Series III Lambretta LR150 https://t.co/uEUVCwm1FL

[Garmendale @Garmendale]

Even on his first school project, it was obvious he was thinking big when he rebuilt a standard motorcycle as a mobility scooter https://t.co/uEUVCwm1FL

[Garmendale @Garmendale]

We're starting a new series, introducing our amazing team of engineers to inspire other young engineers. First in the spotlight is Tom, but he's used to that as you'll see https://t.co/uEUVCwm1FL
