I got the pleasure of seeing this stuff IRL, WOW! is it ever amazing!

So much time and care obviously put in to putting together this awesome
display. It seems like everything is motorized, the whole city comes to • life
basically! moving signs, drive in theaters.. that actually play movies!
Incredible!

All of the trains are swtiched etc. via robotics and light sensores (I • think)
It is so cool!

The buildings at the one end of the display are so neat! Odd angles all
over, so detailed!

So much is going on too! A movie being made, a bunch of bulls about to
charge at each other, a logging protest, a man streaking on the beach! • WOW!
it is sooooo neat!

Gondolas moving up and down, killer whales being admired by a crowd in a
boat that's about to tip, it is so cool!

The whole Hogwarts scene is just too cool, not only a huge Hogwarts, but a
moving whomping willow, hogsmeade, Platform 9 3/4 and hogwarts express to • boot!
Wow! it is just too cool! Not to mention the huge mountain that the train
goes through!

No pictures can acutually do this display justice, it is so amazing. I • only
mentioned a small bit of what was actually there,

Then at another booth, Kevin Wilson is selling his custom kits! these are
incredible! so much detail! He showed me his model house, WOW! I think it
must have had four or five floors (?) and sooooo much detail on each, it • was
astonishing! His factory was way too cool! Ban saws, metal working tools I
think, not a single stud in these masterpieces was put to waste, his
creations are so cool,

Thanks for the great display VLC! I look forward to coming to future • events!

We finished setup (mostly!) today, and the show is tomorrow from 9am to • 4pm
