EFS713 Electric Fence Slinger PoisonProps.com

The Poison Props EFS713 Electric Fence Slinger is a fully pneumatic, plug-and-play animatronic designed for professional haunted attractions and dark rides.

The complete package includes the character, fence rig, high-voltage sign, pneumatics, a pre-programmed controller, motion sensor, and strobe light, plus an optional audio add-on. It requires a standard AC power supply and 100 PSI compressed air, and ships freight in a footprint of roughly 4 by 6 feet.
