This type of lighting is exactly the sort of challenge relished by DPL’s Darren Parker - who lit Colossus’s heavy metal steelwork and impressive stanchion frame with eight Studio Due City Color luminaires. The launch reception itself was held inside a large Dome building nearby in the Thorpe Park grounds. DPL added a bit of effervescence to the already animated atmosphere in the Dome with a Golden Scan moving light spinning and looping a Colossus gobo around the room. The Park’s entrance was up-lit with Minuette fresnels on floor bases. DPL used an Avolites Pearl for control inside the Dome and set the City Colors to their internal self-run programmes. Colossus is already proving to be the biggest hit of the new season.
