Revolving Stage & Barricades (1985 – 2019)

The revolve was initially manually controlled, with a Stop/Go and Speed/Direction control. As more shows began to use automated scenery, the computerised control of revolves became more commonplace, and it’s believed the revolve was computerised by the end of the run. 
The barricades are also motorised.
