Interactive LagoTRIG® setup Gardaland, Italy
18-6-2009
Gardaland is a themepark located in the Italian Castelnuovo del Garda in the Verona region. This second largest themepark in Europe is based on a combination of adventure, dream worlds and a vivid imagination. Spectacular attractions such as Sea Life, Jungle Rapids and Blue Tornado make the park unique and very diverse. These properties and the excellent location near the Garda lake, adds to the popularity of this holiday destination.
The fieldcrew of Lagotronics BV worked several months at the total renewal of an existing darkride. This resulted in a new spectacular attraction, "Ramses: Il Risveglio", or "The awakening of Ramses. The attraction has the largest LagoTRIG®-installation provided up until now. During the renovation, the existing 273 meters long transportation train was renovated, a new scenery was placed spread over seven scenes, and almost all audiovisual equipment renewed.

The supplied target response system has been developed in-house by Lagotronics. It adds an interactive visitor's experience to the darkride. Through "guns", custom designed for this attraction in the form of flashlights, visitors can "shoot" at various targets. The LagoTRIG®-system responds by quickly initiating an animation, motion, sound or video. Moreover, points are scored by each visitor. By means of a wireless transmission between the gondolas and the central computer, these data are exchanged. The display that is fitted for every visitor indicates the points scored. This adds a competitive component to the attraction.
All scenery and effects lighting (mostly led lighting) and all new audiovisual equipment (including flat screens and speakers) are supplied and installed by Lagotronics. These components are driven from the LagoTRIG®-system. LagoTRIG® consists of modules that can initiate a separate animation, motion, audio, video or data signal. The LagoTRIG®-system is really the heart and brain of the attraction.
The control of the system is very simple. The technology of Lagotronics ensures that the overall system does not require complicated or costly maintenance. The status messages that the system generates are communicated through a central display, but also monitored by the Lagotronics engineering department. Lagotronics is able to log on to central computer of the attraction through the Internet and, if necessary, can provide direct technical support.
This innovative technology has many advantages for the entertainment industry, including cost savings and the creation of unique interactive experiences for visitors. The system is therefore valued for its innovative, modular character.
