Multi-Media Systeme illuminates Rulantica Water World with Chauvet

Since opening in 2019, the Rulantica Water World - a waterpark located close to Europa-Park, the largest German theme park, on the edge of Germany’s Black Forest - has been extended with the opening of Svalgurok, a towering play structure with over 100 playing opportunities that dominates the outdoor landscape of this aquatic wonderland.

Named after a mythical sea serpent, Svalgurok is designed around an interactive robotic theming element, a first for an aquatic play structure. The play structure’s dramatic main character, Svalgur, moves its head and features some light and water special effects.

Enhancing the effect of Svalgurok and captivating visitors with visuals is a design by Multi-Media Systeme (MMS) featuring twelve Maverick Storm 1 Wash, four Maverick Storm 1 Spot, nineteen Ovation E-260WW IP and sixteen Colordash Par-H12 fixtures from Chauvet Professional.

The structure of Svalgurok can be seen all around the Rulantica site during the day, and MMS project manager Elias Jenny added some targeted lighting to put the metallic structure at the forefront of the site at night as well. Central to achieving his nighttime vision were the wash effects of the Maverick Storm 1 Wash fixtures, which are positioned strategically around the site to highlight the serpentine play structure from all sides and angles.

Elias’s concept also involved positioning luminaires in the eyes and mouth of the serpent’s head to create a beacon-like effect for visitors. “We placed twelve fixtures in and around the structure to create an overlapping set of saturated coloured wash effects”, he explains. “This had the effect of creating a brooding and mystical overall appearance.”

A further four Maverick Storm 1 Spot fixtures ensured that the snake-like play structure could be punctuated with bursts of light. Due to the IP68 rating of the Maverick Storm fixtures, Elias was able to position each fixture directly within and around the various slides without having to worry about exposure to water splashes and the outdoor elements in general.

To add an element of homogeneous illumination to the overall site, the Ovation E-260WW IP ellipsoidal units were integrated into the lighting concept, positioned slightly further away from the main structure. The Colordash Par-H12 fixtures completed the rig with dashes of fill light and bursts of color from the inner part of the Svalgurok structure.
