Meet Champ!  Lake Champlain's Legendary Lake Monster

Champ was finished totally in-house by our incredible RCI Theming sculptors, artists, and theming technicians and installed by our team on-site at ECHO, Leahy Center for Lake Champlain. We'd like to thank ECHO, for the incredible opportunity to take on such a fun and unique project. Champ has reached its home, nestled right on the eastern shore of Lake Champlain! We're thrilled to see Champ, "Vermont's favorite lake monster", swimming above their mezzanine.

In Early 2023, we had the pleasure of working with Science North on this awesome Beaver-amik Lodge! This was an awesome themed environment that lets visitors immerse themselves in a habitat similar to one of Science North's beloved animal ambassadors, Kash, the beaver.

Through our rockwork and concrete techniques we can create any natural landscape of our choice. We can combine Sculpted or Stamped Rockwork with Geological Molding and Recreations to create unique, one-of-a kind installations for your project. Research Casting International offers many other services that can be implemented into any rockwork project, including specialized sculpting, bronze and aluminum work, theming, consulting, project management and more. 

Niagara Falls Volcano Minigolf

Clifton Hill, Niagara Falls  |  2010

In the summer of 2010, our theming crew was commissioned to build a 50-foot high flame spewing volcano and 3 rivers flowing from waterfalls at Dinosaur Adventure Golf below the Ferris wheel on Clifton Hill, Niagara Falls for HOCO entertainment. This job involved sculpting and stamping rockwork, bending rebar armatures, custom shaped steel frames and applying a layer of mesh and concrete scratch coat. We then apply sculpted or stamped concrete embossed with real rock impressions or textures to create an authentic surface. 
The piece is then stained and/or painted. The volcano allows golfers to play directly through our hand crafted, realistically eerie, cavernous volcanic interior on their way to the 18th hole. All of this is spread out over a massive 70,000 square foot playing surface, and populated by 50 astonishingly realistic and life-sized dinosaurs, many which loom over 30 feet high. Clifton has been transformed into the hub of the major tourist district, second only to the Falls.
