The mill doesn’t do anything. Its the various builders of the amusement rides that do it themselves or through companies they know can make that shit work.

There are various steps but one crucial is the bending of the running beams. That is the fun part, with this segments are build that can be transported on site and bolted down there

Basically its an art form where although machinery exists that is computerized it still takes serious manual effort to get it prizes

It also includes a good portion is blood, sweat, tears, banging and swearing.

Plus, it might look solid but at those lengths metal gets surprisingly flexible, so we aren’t talking about mm precision here
