Air lines are added to the pod to provide two sets effects. An air blast effect and a screaming tickler ™ effect. Both will be controlled manually using momentary switches on the back of the pod and operated by a cast member at the right moment in the scene. Two 5 gallon air tanks will provide the reserve for the effects while a 25 gallon air compressor will deliver the air flow.
