I've just seen this new offering - for space flight/Sci-Fi enthusiasts, a Saturn V rocket launch pad:
The video and the website text don't reveal that it has any sound effects, which is a little disappointing. The major feature is a water-based ultrasonic smoke effect, similar to what Menards did with their recent Rock Island Diner.
This is not for me but it's interesting to see Menards' producing yet another trackside accessory.

I don’t have room for it but it looks like a fun accessory.

I just love how Menards is busting into trains big time and at such and affordable price. GO MENARDS! I love their products and have several.

I can see the guys who modified the Menards nuclear reactor having fun adding lights and way more smoke to this. Can't wait to see them. Also, it wouldn't take too much work to rig up a small electric motor above it with some fishing line that would lift the rocket up off the pad upon launch.

My version for those who never saw it….I equipped it with audio and smoke.

I recognise the triangular base rocket somehow, either from an old Sci-Fi movie or a TV series - you don't happen to know if it has a name?

WOW. That is super duper cool. And the fact that the smoke goes into the rocket when on the pad then starts warfing out as it goes up is so realistic! Great job!

I am weak. I couldn't resist. I kept going back and looking at the Menards rocket and just had to order it. I've got one on the way to me. I will make a full report once I receive it. I've got a couple of ideas how to add it to my crazy little layout.
