Illuminate Light & Laser Spectacular is a seasonal evening show at the Dreamworld theme park on the Gold Coast, Australia.

History

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.

Show

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]
