Blackpool illuminations
information for 2003
FIRE
AND WATER
Real
fire and water are two exciting new elements in one of the showpiece
clifftop tableaux in this year's display. Mixing historical
themes, two Roman gladiators are featured holding flaming torches as
they stand between three flowing fountains at the entrance to a Greek
temple. The result will be a 60 ft by 20 ft tableau with the
working title 'Fire and Water' lit by a computerised lighting system
and the latest hi-tech colour-changing floodlighting equipment.
ANIMAL
MAGIC
In
contrast, traditional illuminations at their finest will be seen by
millions in 'Animal Boxes'. A butterfly, tiger, peacock and
fish are all animated and change colour in 19ft square boxes.
CAMERA
CAPERS
Smile
please you're on the illuminations camera. In yet another new development,
visitors
will find themselves being photographed by 24 giant cameras and film
which will produce colourful images of popular Blackpool icons in
front of their very eyes.
JELLY
MONSTERS
Watch
out there's a monster about with a sweeter-than-sweet appetite.
Jelly Monsters is a new roadway section made up of 24 giant
illuminated sweetie characters. A multitude of colourful
effects will be created by this feature made in the traditional style.
PYLON
PARADE
In
total contrast, high-tech strobes - as used on the Eiffel Tower -
join other effects in a quarter-of-a-mile pylon extravaganza. Every
single lamp on this section flashes to create a galaxy of light,
while the pylons themselves mechanically rotate and flash simultaneously.
DYNAMIC
DISCS
Electronically
spelling out ever-changing patterns and designs, our 25 brand new
LED discs incorporate the latest control technology - baffling
passers-by with their technique.
LASERS
And
this year, there's lasers too. The popular laser tableau promises a
spectacle to behold, used in conjunction with other lighting effects.
