Dreamland Aqua Park in Umm al-Quwain is one of the
largest water parks in the UAE with over 25 attractions
for children and adults, surrounded with palm trees, a
roaring volcano and replicas of wild animals.
Dreamland Aqua Park contacted Jean-Paul Jeannet,
Director of The Brain Concepts company - a special
effects design company working for the entertainment
industry-, to be the show designer and constructor of
the newly-built “Volcano Dreamland” attraction.
The Brain Concepts selected Medialon to be the main show
and media control system of “Volcano Dreamland”
attraction which is located in the water park and offers
visitors a unique experience inside the volcano itself.
When coming to the Volcano, visitors can watch a
spectacular 3-minute show filled with fire and water
explosions, roar sounds and many other special effects.
The show runs 2 times daily, at 5 PM and 7 PM, each day
of the week, and the background fire and atmospheric
effects run 10 hours a day, 7/7.
One Medialon Manager V5 Pro license embedded in a
Medialon Show Control Machine, allow controlling and
synchronizing all the A/V devices of the attraction,
including a 15 000Watt JBL & Yamaha sound system, a 14-meter
long RGB LED wall, a smoke and fog generators, as well
as a 16-meter long mist effect machine for spectacular
special effects. Medialon also controls four propane-based
flame projectors, especially designed for the park,
which can reach a 15-meter height and that are displayed
on a 16-meter long fire line. A fire ball and thermionic
explosions, are also ejected up to 20-meter high above
the volcano crater. Several water jets are surrounding
the volcano to create an even more amazing show!
Thanks to Medialon Manager Panel, free touch panel
design software, Jean-Paul Jeannet designed
friendly-user control interfaces enabling the park’s
technical staff to remotely control the entire “Volcano
Dreamland” attraction’s show.
For safety purpose, an emergency stop button has been
created to propose immediate turning off of the flame
burners and propane flow of the fire line. The Brain
Concepts has also installed a weather station in the
volcano which measures wind speed, humidity, heat, etc.,
to offer maximum reliability and to ensure a successful
show. All this info is sent via email to Medialon
Manager central workstation.
“Medialon system is the main “brain”. Thanks to it,
Dreamland’s park staff can start the show and check
everything what is happening inside while the show is
running.”, said Jean-Paul Jeannet, The Brain Concepts
director, special effects designer and constructor.
“The Medialon system is used for the full control of the
show and attraction automation part. Without it, it
would have been impossible to design such a great
interface and to turn the volcano into life”, concluded
Jean-Paul Jeannet.
Some figures…
- 3,000 meters of electric cables pulled;
- 385 meters of pipes built;
- 180 liters of water propelled for water jet each day;
- 12 cubic meters of propane used each hour;
- 80 liters of propane used during each show.
