For years Science North has been one of the most popular tourist and educational facilities in Norther Ontario. Adults and children alike venture to this amazing facility with many of their visitors being international.
Science North features an IMAX theater, butterfly gallery, digital Planetarium, an infinite number of specialty displays throughout the year and Dynamic Earth – Home of the Big Nickel, an earth sciences center.
But for thrill seekers 12 years and older the best is yet to come. Located seven stores below ground level can be found the Tunnel of Terror. You will witness the incredible transformation of the underground mining tour into the scariest adventure of the season. Once below ground, visitors will come face to face with a forest of nightmares. This has been one of the most popular annual Halloween exhibits in Canada and has now become better the ever with the addition of the haunted mirror maze.
As always VersaTruss was there to help with the initial structure. Designers from Science North were looking for a product that was lightweight, easy to handle, simple to assemble yet was extremely ridged. In this case the VersaTruss ladder truss line was used with stabilizing feet.
Unlike tri or box truss, ladder truss adds a whole new level of flexibility to any display design yet still offers the resilience and detailed finished appearance that is inherent in both tri and box truss configurations.
As can be seen in the video below, the truss became the framework for what was to become an amazing, 3D horrifying experience for the Halloween celebration.
VersaTruss was proud to be part of this amazing project as Science North brings so much to not only the local community but Canadian and international visitors alike.
When it comes to Exhibit and Display Truss, nobody does it better than VersaTruss
