Illuminate Light & Laser Spectacular was a seasonal evening show at the Dreamworld theme park on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.
On 2 March 2010, Dreamworld announced that they would be adding a light and laser show for the Easter school holidays. [1] [2] The show was included with daily admission, however, guests could purchase a separate Illuminate ticket just to attend the event. [3] The first showing of Illuminate was from 2 April until 16 April 2010. Despite a poor trading period, Ardent Leisure CEO Greg Shaw stated that the launch of Illuminate was a success. [4]
In early May 2010, it was reported that Dreamworld was evaluating the possibility to incorporate Illuminate into night dance parties. [5] Rather than going ahead with dance parties, Dreamworld began to incorporate the show into the existing Screamworld night events. [6]
In the June/July holidays of 2010 Illuminate returned alongside a "Winter Wonderland". In the evenings before the show, guests could play in up to 10,000 kilograms (22,000 lb) of ice or slide down an ice slide. [7] [8]
Illuminate has since returned in 4 other school holiday periods (including the Summer Funomenon) and several Screamworld events.
Illuminate Light & Laser Spectacular was created by Australian entertainment company Laservision. [1] Laservision is the company responsible the world's largest light and sound display, A Symphony of Lights in Hong Kong, as well as the lasers inside the Scooby Doo Spooky Coaster at Warner Bros. Movie World on the Gold Coast. [1] [9] [10]
