From July 31st to August 30th, the water shows, which received a great deal of attention across the region, will again takFrom July 31st to August 30th, the Water show, held at Volkswagen Autostadt in Wolfsburg, captures the attention of the entire region. These spectacular shows, part of the Autostadt Summer event, feature new focal points each year. Following last year’s “Rocking UK” theme, this year’s focus is on France, taking visitors on a cultural and historical journey with the motto “Vive la France.” Lunatx SFX, a creative company specializing in music-synchronized drone, pyro, and fire shows, as well as special effects, leads the staging and brings their expertise to enrich the water shows.

Lights dancing across landscapes, water fountains projecting images, and precisely timed effects create captivating moments for visitors during the Autostadt Summer shows. They serve as a stage for participating companies to showcase their performances. The production and direction of the water shows are overseen by Autostadt, while Lunatx SFX, Leyendecker, Tarm Showlaser, and Aquatique Show International contribute to the captivating total work of art with fire, water, light, laser, and effect technology.

Over a two-week period, eleven Lunatx SFX employees meticulously installed their flame and water effects in the lagoon-like lake area of the automotive theme park. The setup included 85 X-Flame C1 and eight Giant Flame static flames, 40 X-Flame C1 and eight X-Flame F.15 with pivoting flames, as well as eight X-Flame Flowers and two X-Flame SUN with rotating flames for the fire staging.

The team installed twelve water jets, each holding 125 liters, and one large-volume water jet with 500 liters for water effects. All the technology was mounted on a submerged platform, approximately 50 centimeters below the water level. This posed a challenge for the crew, as the construction work had to be conducted mostly in the water. The meticulous planning allowed the continuous installation work to take place without disrupting public traffic in the Autostadt. Technicians had to utilize a short time window during the night for their installations, highlighting the precision and coordination involved.
