Aquanura, Efteling (Kaatsheuvel, Netherlands)
The Aquanura fountains at the Netherlands' historic Efteling theme park were built to celebrate the park's 60th anniversary in 2012.
Made up of 200 fountains and 900 lights, all attached to a grid-like structure, the park's daily Aquanura water show combines light, water and fire and features a soundtrack composed by the Brabant Orchestra. It attracts 6, 500 spectators per day.
Enjoy the spectacular water fountain show Aquanura, at Efteling theme park resort in Kaatsheuvel, The Netherlands. Watch how the peaceful pool is turning into an amazing spectacle of water, fire, light, music and hundreds of fountains, lights and other special effects! The fountain is the largest in Europe and the third largest in the world, after The Dubai Fountain and the Fountains of Bellagio. The premiere took place on 31 May 2012 on the park's 60th anniversary, and it opened to the public the following day. Aquanura has a total of 200 fountains, subdivided in 9 types, each with its own reach and effect. 4 of the types are custom designed and built for this project, as are the light effects. 800 lamps will be placed in the pond, and 29 light- and audio posts are placed around the pond, with moving heads on top, all in support of the water show. The super shooters reach a height of 45 meters, well under their listed capacity. The whole project was constructed by Water Entertainment Technologies (WET Design), Tebodin Netherlands B.V., Heijmans NV, Kuijpers Piping & Procestechniek, Hoppenbrouwers Elektrotechniek B.V. and Primagaz Nederland B.V. at a total cost of € 17.000.000. The music is a medley of compositions that are in the theme of other rides and attractions, performed by the The Brabant Orchestra. The watershow can normally be seen at closing time of the park, extra shows are scheduled on busy days and days with extended opening hours.
