Robe's Ecuadorian distributor Prisma, also based in Quito, worked with several other companies to supply the technology needed for La Alameda's new-look water park, which has now been revitalised with a waterscreen and nightly lightshow designed by Alberto Borja.
The screen is 12m wide and 6m high. Three 20-minute multimedia shows run every Friday and Saturday night and the waterscreen is also used for special events.
A central control room is located in the middle of the fountains with control for all the technical elements which include water pumps and valves, moving lights, strobes, laser, video projections and fog machines.
Two lighting rooms are concealed behind the fountains below the general water level of the lake, with a window at water level allowing the light beams to punch through and hit the water jets. Five of the Robe ColorSpot 1200E ATs are located in each room and back project onto the screen. A Hog IPC console controls the lights, programmed by Javier Sanguano.
