what's up guys we are here at the happiest place on earth here at Disneyland for their 60th anniversary now we know they've improved the rides the shows but what's behind all that magic it's technology so we're going to show you the technology and how they use it to tell their stories alright guys we are here inside the world of color show control room Mike this is amazing not a lot of people get to see this every day so can you tell us where exactly am I on what is all this stuffing I mean we're in a secret location behind Paradise Pier right now this is like you said this is a show control nerve center for world of color in here we're able to control our fountains our lights our video effects and of course the master show itself in our audio processing all originates from this room Wow so this is just kind of surround surrounding the lagoon exactly so our crew in here has a full view of the show itself see what's going on they have the cameras we have status displays we have cameras inside we're underwater electrical rooms and of course we have our media which pops up over here so we can see what our video projectors are outputting throughout the entire show that's pretty crazy now also I mean there's a lot of blinking lights we like blinking things how complex really is this if you if you kind of simplify what is really going on every time someone sees a show how many things are working together at once where we're working multiple thousands of pieces of equipment we have over 1,100 fountains alone and each fountain has 40 some-odd pieces of control points on that alone we also have our strobes me fog fire effects what's a witch what's me fog fog break let's move on me fog is our atomized water affects what it does it creates out low-lying fog along the Paradise Bay Lagoon we'll move on from here up unto our top tier well now we'll look at our fountain controller this is real this word gets really exciting so over here we have our fountain control you you're able to initiate queues and you can push a button and then the whole show will keep going and the fountains will go up and down for us as we I wanted to function its what would happens if I here look what happens I press this one Mike ah no oops so here we're actually able to look at each value individually and tell check on its status and its updates right here as you look at here if his our array of our fountains these all of our grid thumbs which are single shots shoes up in the air and then of course our robots that we developed and are just beautiful the really the main performance of the show you know they're able to move and dance so you get that dancing water feeling as the shows going on and of course some of them are able to switch nozzle types so one man you're doing a straight slug of water let's make you do this great flower effect out of valve and of course the lights around those to exceed mean we've we developed as beautiful lighting ring that Lily just takes out lane she's right at the column of the water it's absolutely beautiful and brilliant you know and then of course back here one of the other main components of this show is video yeah we talk fountains we talk lighting we talk to special effects but now we have video as you can see right here we're actually running our show as we speak and it looks at our output of our of our 21 projectors in the show but if you look down here to our main wall of video where I was able to see our big miss screen set up which is the large Smith screen that we've ever created 60 feet tall and the width of a football field see that I mean that's probably one of the most fascinating things about world of color that mist screen I mean it how much is being pumped through that because it's pretty much create a shield right that you put that image on right it's really impressive it is and we're actually creating that with the use of three different mist screen nozzles one on each table so each table has its own nozzle powered off the same series of pumps that we have backstage actually takes the lagoon water shoots it down through a main hype out to our tables and keeps that water velocity going pumping thousands of gallons of water per minute just dropping it right back in full of doing again and just recirculating that on and on again alright well thanks for your time we'll be checking out World of Color celebrate you you
