Disney announced its new theme park in Abu Dhabi. The brief came as follows: a drone light show that breaks regional records, synchronized with a 107-piece live orchestra and a choir floating on a pontoon, pyrotechnics, and a waterscreen — all subject to strict safety protocols.
Magic Drone Show Concept
To perfect the animation, we optimized every detail – figure sizing, viewing angles, drone trajectories relative to pyrotechnics – all fine-tuned for maximum visibility and safety. Our pre-dawn lights-off rehearsals maintained secrecy, and ensured flawless flights.
Like every good fairytale, the show had Disney’s stamp of wonder. It became an amazing 650-meter aerial replica of Cinderella’s Castle, 10 times its actual size, which then smoothly morphed into the Disney’s new park prototype.
The most enchanting part of the show was the one with the least number of drones. Disney’s signature “magical swoosh” flashed around the castle providing the kind of magical atmosphere that captivated everyone.
New Benchmark for Live High-Profile Events
The Disney drone show in Abu Dhabi shattered records for GCC’s largest drone display. It also became Disney’s new benchmark for live announcements, as the client acknowledged its “one-of-a-kind” execution, and earned coverage in Forbes and other media.
For Lumasky, it was the highest honor to make history with Disney, and launch this grandiose drone show in the UAE that eventually made global headlines.
