Happy Rollercoaster Day! 🎢 This is the Iron Gwazi, a hybrid wood-and-steel coaster at Busch Gardens in Tampa, Florida. Westview is proud to have provided the coaster lighting controls, and lighting installation as well as programming and focusing assistance on this state-of-the-art attraction!

⚠️ Did You Know? Theatrical rigging should be inspected every year to avoid operational failures. Our ETCP certified technicians can provide your venue with a comprehensive inspection and flag any safety concerns so you can operate with peace of mind!

Where's Wesley? It's been a while since we checked in with our Westview mascot but he's been busy! He recently went on an Adventure to Alaska with Cheryl, our HR manager. Together they saw Meade Glacier, rode the Alaska railroad, and spotted whales, sea lions, moose, and bears (even babies!) We wonder where Wesley will wander next...

What better time to look back at one of projects than Collector Car Appreciation Day? For this auto museum in Newport, RI, we installed a lighting and controls upgrade that makes these collector cars shine!

Happy Museum Day! Westview may be best known for theatrical integration, but we also work with museums like the New-York Historical Society and Newport Auto Museum (just to name a few) on projects like lighting controls and custom fabrication for exhibits and installations. Museums are an integral part of communities, and we love helping make sure they shine!

It is with heavy hearts we say goodbye to a familiar face, Bitsy. If you visited the Westview office in the last 5 years, you were probably greeted by our team member Debby's loyal companion. A champion Lakeland Terrier, Bitsy knew how to work a costume and brought joy to everyone that she met. Our condolences go out to Debby. Bitsy will be greatly missed by the Westview team.
