that releases the gorilla that chases.
Ginger, the movie star.
Thinking that Ginger is a goddess,
a head-hunter begins a tribal dance,
only to awaken an angry volcano. As
the table rotates to the next scene,
the volcano spews lava, filling a
ravine. (The "lava" is made of vinegar,
baking soda, food coloring and
dry ice.)
The rumbling volcano shakes a
tree that drops a coconut, which
Mary Ann grabs to bring to the Professor.
The table turns once more to
show the excited Professor, who uses
all the things his friends have
brought to build a machine that will
make coffee.
The Skipper begins pedaling a bicycle
to power a conveyor belt,
which dumps coffee grounds and
sugar into a dispenser. The dispenser
is filled with boiling water
from a hot spring. The water absorbs
the coffee and sugar, drips through
a filter and fills a coconut milk-filled
coconut cup, which extends out
through the television screen on a
motorized arm.
Team spokesman Nicholas Croce
of Hempstead, N.Y., said the hardest
engineering aspect was the rotating
tahle
"The table was very technically involved,"
he said. "We couldn't have
wires cross in the rotation, and we
had to coordinate the remote control
signals. That's very difficult. But
my favorite thing is the volcano. I
could watch that thing explode time
and time again."
