Mars Dome Cable Coaster

McLaren Engineering Group helped engineer the public debut of Tait Towers, Six Degrees of Freedom ride system for the “Mars Landing Simulator” Virtual Reality Ride, at a pop-up event celebrating the premiere of the National Geographic Channel’s “Mars” mini-series. The ride propelled a two-person vehicle on a dynamic flight path using six high-powered winches. Thrill-seekers could enter the Martian atmosphere in a spacecraft that lands on Mars. The Mars dome cable coaster was open to the public at the intersection of Canal and Varick Streets in New York City.
