February 2011 Entry: Perpetual Stair
I'm coming into this one pretty late, so I don't know if I'll time to finish. I only have a few pieces in place so far, but the idea is that it's a spiral staircase that slowly turns while the party descends--like walking down the up escalator. There will also be a couple of extra surprises at the bottom.

People come and people go. I walk amongst them, I see their faces; but none see mine. I pass them in the streets but nary a glance is spared my way, for what interest would they have in a Wanderer? Not of this world... Forever Alone... Forever Wandering... LoneWandererD...

As it turns out, I had a little more free time today than I thought.

Unless you've got a way to recycle the top stairs back the bottom, it's still a fixed number of steps down no matter how fast you spin it. An escalator is a continuous belt of stairs - you never run out of stairs when going the wrong way. Otherwise it looks like an interesting idea.
What waldronate said, but I still think it looks absolutely stunning.

You're right that it wouldn't really work. I really just wanted to do a Wyle E. Coyote style blueprint with a bunch of gears.Originally Posted by waldronate
You need an Acme rocket and some roller skates.

The other option would be to have the stairs act like a folding fan, and tuck into a single vertical stack rather than a nice and useful spiral stair.
You know, half way down a flight of stairs, and suddenly the stairs all draw back and you have a 100 foot drop into an open pit?
And then you get that top down view of Wylie with the puff of smoke at the end!!! It would be a nice touch to have ACME in there somewhere
