To Whom it May Concern:
This letter is to certify that The Bobcat was built in accordance to the drawings
that were provided by The Gravity Group, LLC. The structure of the ride consists
of prefabricated members that were machined in Cincinnati and installed on-site
in Queensbury, New York.
In the picture below, you can see the specific mark numbers that were on each of
the main structural members. These were assembled using individual drawings
of each cross-section (bent drawings) and a series of typical detail drawings.

Once the structure and track for the ride was completed, a team has gone
through the entire ride structure and verified the tightness of the bolts and
marked the nut and thread with a yellow paint stripe.

The integrity of the structure was verified throughout the construction process
through multiple visits to the project site in addition to regular communication
(including video calls from the project site) with the project foreman.

wooden roller coaster.

Personnel
During a typical visit, the engineer walked the jobsite with the project foreman
and they discussed the current work and future work. These visits demonstrated
that the ride was built in accordance with the drawings. Because members were
pre-machined and marked, there was limited ability for something to be built
incorrectly.
In terms of the ride design and details, this ride is based on the same ride system
that is used for rides that are significantly taller and longer.
As the main project engineer, I have been involved with the structural design of
30 new rides at The Gravity Group, LLC since 2002. These rides are located in
the USA, China, Europe, and Australia and all follow their associated design
codes for amusement rides. Additionally, I have taught classes at AIMS
(Amusement Industry Manufacturers & Suppliers Internationals) seminars to train
park personnel on the proper --=�=_,,e techniques for wooden roller
coasters. `:kc�OF NEIy1:
