UMM AL-QUWAIN, UAE – The volcano attraction at Dreamland Aqua Park was designed by The Brain Concepts, which chose Medialon as the main show and media control system. The Brain Concepts' director, Jean-Paul Jeannet, served as show designer. When coming to the Volcano, visitors can watch a three-minute show with fire and water explosions, roaring audio and other special effects. The show runs twice daily, at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m., each day of the week, and the background fire and atmospheric effects run 10 hours a day, every day.
One Medialon Manager V5 Pro license embedded in a Medialon Show Control Machine controls and synchronizes all the A/V devices of the attraction, including a 15,000-watt JBL and Yamaha sound system, a 14-meter long RGB LED wall, smoke and fog generators and a 16-meter long mist effect machine.
Medialon also controls four propane-based flame projectors which can reach a 15-meter height and that are displayed on a 16-meter long fire line. Fireball and thermionic explosions are also ejected up to 20 meters in height above the volcano crater. Several water jets surrounding the volcano add to the show.
Jean-Paul Jeannet used Medialon Manager Panel software to design an easy-to-use control interface, which lets the park's technical staff remotely control the volcano show.
For safety purposes, the system includes an emergency stop button for all flame burners and the flow of propane. The Brain Concepts has also installed a weather station in the volcano, which measures wind speed, humidity and heat. This information is sent via email to the Medialon Manager central workstation.
Jeannet called the Medialon system "the main ‘brain'" for the show, which allows Dreamland's park staff to start the show and check everything happening inside while the show is running. "Without it, it would have been impossible to design such a great interface and to turn the volcano into life," Jeannet added.
The volcano attraction uses 80 liters of propane for each show and required 3,000 meters of electric cables to be installed and 385 meters of pipes built.
