  • WET Splash!

    Aquanura is a fountain spectacle and was officially opened on May 31, 2012. Aquanura is based on shows at the 'Bellagio' resort in Las Vegas, the 'The Dubai Fountain' and the 'World of Color' at Disney California Adventure Park, and was developed by Water Entertainment Technologies (WET) Update: World of Color was developed and built by WDI (Walt Disney Imagineering) itself. WET was involved in the development but due to a conflict it was built by Disney itself. Aquanura was opened for about 800 press people and guests and 2000 employees of Efteling via a gala evening. The show was presented by Chairman of the Board Bart de Boer. There are four different versions of the Aquanura show, so you have; First Efteling Symphony, Second Efteling Symphony, Tiรซsto(nura), and Aquanura with a soft G. (Guus Meeuwis, Dutch Singer) Aquanura has a total of 200 fountains, which are divided into 9 types. Each species has its own scope and special effect. In addition to a large number of fountains, 4 large frogs support the show. Just like the variants in the Fairytale Forest, the frogs spray water. One frog wears a crown, as the fairytale also tells. In addition to the 900 lamps in the pond, the show is supported by 29 light and audio masts around the pond. At the top of these masts, at a height of 7.5 meters, there are Moving heads that visually assist the show. ๐ƒ๐ข๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ค๐ง๐จ๐ฐ ๐ญ๐ก๐š๐ญ...The bangs are caused by compressed air that is released? They use compressed air to blast the water out at high speed. Such a shooter probably works with two compartments that have to be filled after every bang: water and compressed air. When the water is completely pushed out of the shooter, the compressed air is still under pressure. When the water no longer forms a layer between the air under pressure and the outside air, then you expand air under pressure very quickly and that gives that blow. ๐€๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ๐จ...The fountain installation is so well put together that they can plug in many places, even online, and adjust the show. #aquanura #efteling #thedubaifountain #worldofcolor #disneycaliforniaadventure #bellagio #rollercoasters #rides #themeparkfacts #ridehardfacts #rollercoasterphotography #instariderfacts #themepark #amusementparks #insiderfacts #darkrides #specialeffectsstage

  • Metal is loyal to us!

    'Giovanola' was a major roller coaster builder until the company went bankrupt in 2004. Giovanola located in Monthey, Switzerland was founded by; 'Joseph Giovanola' The company was known for building power plants, water storage tanks, pipelines, boilers, highway bridges, submarines, ski lifts, and many other steel products. Joseph Giovanola started his business in 1888. In the mid-1980s, two engineers from 'Giovanola', 'Claude Mabillard' and 'Walter Bolliger', (B&M) developed a new type of roller coaster with a box beam spine. The new style track made its appearance on a production model coaster sold by 'Intamin' as Space Diver. 'Giovanola' mainly built large megacoasters. These can be found in the following parks: 'Goliath' (Six Flags Magic Mountain) 'Titan' (Six Flags Over Texas) 'Giovanola' also built one inverted coaster: 'Anaconda' at the 'Gold Reef City' amusement park in Johannesburg, South Africa. Furthermore, 'Giovanola' was often the subcontractor for various roller coasters. Including 'de Bob' in De Efteling, 'Indiana Jones et le Temple du Pรฉril' in Disneyland Paris, and 'Cop Car Chase', Movie Park Germany. The company went bankrupt in 2004 because there were too few requests to build roller coasters. Swiss roller coaster builders 'Bolliger & Mabillard' (B&M) and 'Intamin AG' have taken over 'Giovanola'. ๐ƒ๐ข๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ค๐ง๐จ๐ฐ ๐ญ๐ก๐š๐ญ...

  • Why can't I move anymore?

    Animatronics also sometimes malfunction, Disney has special terms for that; 'B-Mode' and 'A-Mode.' B-mode is a built-in (backup) function for many major attractions. This is where ride designers build a simpler version of a particular scene to use in case an effect or animatronic goes down. The moment an Animatronic falls into a 'B-Mode', Disney has come up with smart tricks to prevent the malfunctioning Animatronic from seeing or to distract you. An A-Mode is quite simple that is animatronic that can never move again, take for convenience the 'Yeti' from Expedition Everest - Legend of the Forbidden Mountain ', in Disney's Animal Kingdom. It once broke down and has not worked for years. They call that an A-Mode. In rollercoaster terms that would be called SBNO (standing but not operating) ๐ƒ๐ข๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ค๐ง๐จ๐ฐ ๐ญ๐ก๐š๐ญ...At 'Na'vi River Journey' in 'Disney's Animal Kingdom's Pandora - The World of Avatar, the' Shaman 'in the ride when she shoots in B-Mode that a screen comes down and the Animatronic disappears behind a screen? And on the screen, the video is played with the moving 'Shaman' so that when entering the scene it is not noticeable that the Animatronic is a malfunction or that it has been removed to fix the malfunction. ๐€๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ๐จ...On 'Rise of the Resistance' in 'Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disney's Hollywood Studios, when the scene with' Kylo Ren 'gets blown away that if it doesn't work the trackless ride quickly picks it up and turns you away from the Animatronic?

  • Whoa, how steep!

    In 2002, Vekoma Manufacturer (VEeld KOning MAchinefabriek) opened the very first so-called 'Tilt Coaster' in 'Discovery World', Taichung Taiwan; "Gravity Max." The park then still had the name; "Lihpao Land." You go up the lift hill and on top of the lift hill you are brought to a stop, with a backup (should the brakes ever fail) there is a pin that stops the train at the front of the train, and a hook that goes behind the train is hooked. And then the track tilts completely vertically, then you are released and you continue the track. 'Gravity Max' is 34.7 meters high and has a speed of 90.1 km/h, ride time of 2 minutes and 26 seconds, and 3.5 G-forces, 1 loop. The Gravity Max has a maximum vertical angle of 90 degrees and the coaster is 568 meters long. Gravity Max was the only Tilt Coaster in the world, after 14 years this changed. The Chinese roller coaster builder 'Golden Horse' built the world's first-ever 'Dueling Tilt Coaster' in 2016 at the Chinese amusement park called 'Hefei Sunac Land', Anhui, China; "Battle of Jungle King." The 2 coasters are built in a mirror image of each other, one side is called 'Tiger' and the other 'Dragon.' The 'Tiger' side has two inversions and the 'Dragon' side has three inversions. ๐“๐ข๐ฅ๐ญ ๐Ÿ.๐ŸŽ. Vekoma is working on a new concept of the 'Tilt Coaster' that should be even better than the current model. In 2018, it was announced that Energylandia amusement park from Zator, Poland posted a photo with the "Gravity Max" on it and the park's logos that read "future new attraction." Energylandia wants the scoop and would like to have the latest generation of the 'Tilt Coaster' in their park. The park has not been mentioned anywhere else, when and what year it should come. Vekoma has already built 8 different coasters in the amusement park. ๐ƒ๐ข๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ค๐ง๐จ๐ฐ ๐ญ๐ก๐š๐ญ...Vekoma The only company allowed to build a 'Tilt Coaster' in Europe?
