Who would have guessed that you could have an entire adventure that takes place in metal buildings? Metal buildings hosted a large amount of interactive games, rides and entertainment. I was amazed by how quickly our perspectives changed when we entered one ride in particular. The movie E.T. was the theme of this ride. We rode on these bikes, like E.T. and his buddy Elliot did in the blockbuster film, which immediately upped the cool factor. Unlike Elliot, the ride moved our bicycles along, so it required no pedal power on our part. As soon as we entered the first of the series of metal buildings, it was dark and we were enveloped in a forest. We could hear crickets and even feel a breeze. We could see stars too. Our bikes zoomed us through the woods, over the town and passed the gigantic full moon. We felt just like Elliot. All in a bunch of metal buildings.
It makes sense that metal buildings are such a staple at amusement parks everywhere. A metal building can be assembled by a few untrained people without unusual tools and equipment. An instruction manual and drawings are included when you purchase one of these buildings. This allows you to pour the concrete foundation ahead of time. The buildings can be assembled on the ground. When you are ready, you put the shell upright and attach it to the foundation. The other pieces can be added once that is done and your building is then finished. It all just takes less that a week and a few good friends to help out.
Metal buildings have a leg up on traditional structures beyond the fact that they are easy to build. It costs a lot less to construct a metal building than a traditional one. The design of most metal buildings offers a very efficient use of space; there is little space inside that cannot be used. There are no gutters or siding to maintain. Metal buildings stand up to severe weather and fire like no traditional structure. All parts of metal buildings can be used again or recycled and their construction does not involve any wood, so you can pat yourself on the back by saving some trees. Metal is also impervious to carpenter ants, bees and termites.
If Universal Studios can house and run an entire E.T. adventure ride in metal buildings, you can only imagine the uses for such structures in everyday life. Metal buildings are used commercially by all branches of the military, farms, gymnasiums, paint and body shops and churches. They serve residential consumers as sheds, storage buildings and hobby shops. With the time and money you save building and maintaining a metal structure, you can spend a lot more time exploring amusement parks.
