A Wild Swan ride

This solution was built to assist a young girl enjoy the outdoor environment. She loved the feeling of the fresh air flowing past her face. The child was able to start and stop the ride whenever she wanted. This project involved construction of a monorail set up in an oval pattern in a large back yard. A scooter engine was modified to propel the carriage around the monorail line. The carriage has a canopy to protect the child from the sun. “WOW, this is so much fun!” she said.
