Blast Off with Stage One’s Expertise
Alton Towers has once again celebrated the end of season with three evenings of spectacular fireworks, lasers and special effects, and for the second year running it’s Stage One who has lent its expertise to build the huge supporting structure for the events giant video screens.
The structure consisted of two 10 metre high scaffolding towers, positioned 18 metres apart and connected by a run of truss and track. Running along the track were six screen columns, each 1.2 metres wide by 6 metres high. The screen columns were directed by Stage One’s Q-Motion control system, enabling them to move to the left and right in a pre-programmed set of sequences and groupings.
Marcus Exelby, Stage One’s project manager for the job, said: “We can provide expertise and professionalism in abundance and linking that in with our unique Q-Motion® control system really is a winning combination.”
Chris Foster, production manager, Alton Towers, added: “The success of our end of season extravaganza is a tribute to everyone who works so hard to bring it to fruition. Stage One is amongst an elite band of contractors who we can rely on to always deliver an excellent service.”
The show took place on the evenings of 28th, 29th & 30th October and was split into six sections, each featuring music, fireworks, lasers, lights and other special effects.
