Toverland: Magic Wand (the Netherlands)

Lagotronics is known worldwide for its capability to research and develop new, innovative products and concepts. After pioneering the field of professional LED lighting and the control of multicoloured LED fixtures, Lagotronics has now developed a new technology for the leisure and amusement industry: LagoTRIG2®. The most recent addition to this productline, the LagoTRIG2® Magic Wand, has been used in a new ride in Toverland ("Magic Country"), Sevenum (the Netherlands) in April 2008. The ride "The Magic House of Toverland" makes extensive use of the innovative LagoTRIG2® technology.

Lagotronics installed a large scale setup in which visitors can trigger all kinds of responses within the house by pointing a LagoTRIG® Magic Wand towards a target and pressing a button. The LagoTRIG2® system enables you to tie pre-programmed responses to each target by means of a central computer. The responses give the visitors the idea that their LagoTRIG2® Magic Wand actually has magical powers. Magical powers that, for example, make parts of the scenery move, glow, produce sound, change colour, et cetera. It creates the illusion that the LagoTRIG2® Magic Wand can make a pot of water boil and a frog to crawl out of a bucket. How? The LagoTRIG2® system.

After large installations at Isla Magica in Seville, Spain and Europapark in Rust (near Frankfurt) in Germany this is the third large LagoTRIG2® installation realised in the past 12 months. Toverland is the first to use the LagoTRIG2® Magic Wand trigger device.

Toverland and the LagoTRIG® Magic Wand are perfect partners. According to the CEO of Toverland: "Being able to perform magic spells yourself is the ultimate dream for Toverland. After all, there's a witch or sorcerer in every child - and many adults.”
