Travelers beware! Check into the newly-opened Terror
Hotel in the Canary Islands and Medialon Manager will
make your visit something you’ll never forget!
Terror Hotel is a component of Parque Europa, the newest
attraction at Baku adventure park in Fuerteventura where
visitors enjoy a water park, mini golf, gardens,
forests, shops and restaurants on 160,000 meters of
landscaped grounds. In the best tradition of the
classic Hollywood haunted house, Terror Hotel is
conceived by Grup Graf, a set design and construction
company headquartered 2,000 kilometers away in
Barcelona. It features full technical control by
Medialon Manager.
With Medialon the Grup Graf team is assured of
maintaining the artistic concept of Terror Hotel as well
as gaining the flexibility of easily programming new
shows in different languages in the future. Medialon
met the challenges of the tight deadlines and budget
restrictions on the project, the first of its type for
Grup Graf. The company’s most important previous
project was the Flooded Forest at CosmoCaixa, the
science museum of Barcelona.
At the Terror Hotel Medialon Manager controls 16
channels of Medialon Audio Server sound, IrBox
RedRat-controlled DVD players, Artistic License
interfaces for a 60-dimmer channels of lighting plus
inputs (presence sensors, door magnetic sensors,
switches and push buttons ) and outputs (electrovalves,
relays and signs) for four Adlink 6060 and four Adlink
6053 Nudam modules. The Medialon Audio Server (MAS)
offers unique features for Ride, walk-through
attractions, and any audio playback application. Each of
its 24 to 96 independent channels can be synchronized to
video—independently or by group. Thanks to its position
tracking capability (positrack®), programming of video
and light effects synchronization to audio is very easy
using Medialon Manager Show Control software. Several
MAS can be linked over IP and synchronized together.
The project was conceived by artistic director Pere
Francesch under the technical design and direction of
Joan Anton Llarch. It was managed by company owner
Xavier Amat. |
