LEGOLAND California

Nature of Facilities
Theme park

Client
LEGO

Date of Completion
March 1999

Scope of Work
Design, engineering, fabrication, installation and programming of virtually every audio, video and interactive system in the Park. Includes interactive exhibits, animated models, an interactive musical fountain, and a participatory 3d digital theatre attraction.

Challenges/Solutions
Due to construction delays, ETI's challenge was to complete all interactive system design installations in the final six weeks prior to opening, requiring technicians to work double shifts. An interactive element of the LEGO Showplace Theater presented a unique technical challenge: to devise a way to direct the flow of an automated media show based on audience input. ETI's solution was to program a computer to calculate audience preference based on measured dB levels, and use this data to direct the media sequence.

LEGOLAND Deutschland
ETI is currently in production on LEGO's next theme park, LEGOLAND Deutschland, opening in May 2002.
