This project was completed during my tenure with Experiential Systems, Inc. (ESI), prior to founding Untethered Fox Solutions. As part of the ESI team, I contributed to the development of Iron Pony Adventure Park, the newest aerial adventure attraction on Chincoteague Island. The course features 30+ obstacles across two levels, where guests traverse tight ropes, ladders, balance beams, wobbly bridges, cargo nets, and other elevated challenges while secured in full-body harnesses.

Working under ESI, my role focused on hands-on construction, installation, and rigging to ensure the course met structural, operational, and safety expectations. Responsibilities included:

• Installing cables, hardware, and structural supports across both levels

• Aligning elements and assessing load paths for proper function and durability

• Installing platforms, bridges, nets, and connection points

• Performing final adjustments, tuning, and course optimization

• Supporting layout decisions involving guest flow, obstacle spacing, and maintenance approaches

The park also includes the Pony Plunge, a 26-foot leap-of-faith jump element. I contributed to the installation and setup of this feature to ensure reliable performance and a thrilling guest experience.

This project reflects the depth of experience I gained while working with Experiential Systems, Inc., and it remains an important foundation of the technical rigging and adventure-park installation expertise I bring forward today.
