Disney Dreams! was added just in time for the 20th anniversary of Disneyland Paris brining a boost to the dwindling night time entertainment. This boost was a benchmark, a benchmark for which other Disney Parks now aim for.
It put Disneyland Paris on the map, bluntly. It flicked the other Disney resorts on the arm and gave a cheeky grin out of proud bravado, and rightly it should.
Comprising of elements from all over the Disney globe; Fantasmic’s water screens, Wishes fireworks, World of Color’s fountains, Illuminations LED’s and fire, matched to Magic the Memories & You’s projection ability and the spectacular Disneyland Paris searchlights. It truly is a recipe for amazement.
So what makes the show?
Thanks to @CafeFantasia for some of these stats and the push to go make some pointless factoids. (Well best guesses!)
- Shown over 400 times (sometimes even twice a night, once three times!)
- Over 3 million reported viewers of the show (likely a LOT higher)
- Which makes around 8000 people per show
- That basically fills most exhibition halls in the UK!
- As many people watch Dreams each night as watch Fantasmic in Disney World
- As many as 450 fireworks can be shown in one show
- It takes just 30 minutes to reload the show for another go
- 260′ of coverage, for great viewing all round the hub!
- 4000 pixel projections
- @25 frames per second
- 100,000 pixels per second
- 1320 seconds run time
- 132,000,000 pixels per show
- Edited over 5 weeks
- Displayed over 18 £125,000 projectors.
- Which are fed from 12 £20,000 video servers
- and 2 £38,000 lighting desks
- not to mention 32 static and
- 6 moving fountains and
- 24 LED’s per fountain
- 864 LED’s making the fountains glow
- 15 flames
- 10 searchlights (using 70,000W of electricity!)
- but just 1 star!
