A lot of the sleigh detailing was done with ¾-inch polystyrene sheets. Easy to cut, lightweight, and perfect for adding trim and layered details.
I also used a 32-inch shower grab bar inside each sleigh. The silver bar against the white sleigh body actually looked way better than! expected and blended into the design perfectly.

Some materials used in the build:
Angelhalo lights used to outline the sleighs 6.4ft: https://amzn.to/3MwB7gx

Kingspan 2in foam board (main sleigh structure) from Lowe's:

Spring's coming, but it's not here yet!
This winter ride was an incredible learning experience for me figuring out structure, materials, and how everything would eventually come together on track.
Lighting played a big role of course, especially the Angelhalo lights used to outline the sleighs — find them linked below.

The foil and black saran wrap vines turned out way better than lexpected (wanted to make even more), but definitely grab a partner — that wrap is so sticky it’ll fight you every step. Projecting the alphabet as a PNG was 100% the move - not perfectly show-accurate, but it looked great and made this part of the setup fast and easy.
