One of the beacons of light (in Dutch "bakens van licht" along the Aquanura pond.
The Efteling has replaced the fire effects in the Aquanura fountain show with 8-metre high Beacons of Light: lanterns with video screens. They come to life during the new Efteling Symphonica show. Symbols and silhouettes appear, which must also be clearly visible in daylight. A separate video focuses solely on the lanterns.
According to the new story behind Aquanura, melodies bubble up in the so-called Lake of Fantasy, driven by a magical pendulum. The concept is connected to the new Efteling Grand Hotel and the surrounding entrance area Island of the Five Senses. These parts will open in 2025.
Aquanura
Aquanura is the name of a fountain system in the Efteling theme park in the Netherlands. The premiere took place on 31 May 2012 on the park's 60th anniversary, and it opened to the public the following day. The fountain was developed by WET Design, Efteling and Tebodin Consultants & Engineers. The fountain is the largest in Europe and the third largest in the world, after The Dubai Fountain and the Fountains of Bellagio] though it could better be compared as a smaller version of Disney's World of Color.
The show falls within the scope of the Frog King theme. As such, 4 large frog replicas are placed in the pond.
Aquanura has a total of 200 fountains, subdivided in 9 types, each with its own reach and effect. 4 of the types are custom designed and built for this project, as are the light effects. 800 lamps will be placed in the pond, and 29 light- and audio posts are placed around the pond, with Moving heads on top, all in support of the water show. The super shooters reach a height of 45 meters, well under their listed capacity.
The whole project was constructed by Water Entertainment Technologies (WET), Tebodin Netherlands B.V., Heijmans NV, Kuijpers Piping & Procestechniek, Hoppenbrouwers Elektrotechniek B.V. and Primagaz Nederland B.V. at a total cost of € 17.000.000. The watershow can normally be seen at closing time of the park, extra shows are scheduled on busy days and days with extended opening hours. Since the opening of the original Aquanura, the symphony has changed. It has been remade with a couple of new song added.
Aquanura is located in the Rowing Pond, next to the Fata Morgana in the themed area Fantasierijk.
