Since opening in Toledo in 2021, Puy du Fou España has become one of Spain’s great showcases for show technology. This dossier brings together the lighting, sound, video and stage machinery that make it possible.
Since Puy du Fou España opened its doors in Toledo on 27 March 2021, the park has become one of Spain’s great showcases for show technology. Instead of rides, it offers large-scale historical shows in which lighting, sound, video and stage machinery all serve the story. ISP Audio & Light has followed its development closely; this dossier brings together, in one place, everything we have published about the technology behind it.
El Sueño de Toledo: where it all began
Before the park opened came El Sueño de Toledo, the great night-time show with up to 180 performers on a five-hectare stage. Stonex handled the integration of the control system, with MA Lighting as the platform.
The lighting, designed by Koert Vermeulen (ACTLD), relied on Robe moving lights: 74 BMFL WashBeams and 20 MegaPointes. We covered it in Robe Dreams Big at Puy du Fou España.
Video and projection
The 28 projectors acquired for El Sueño de Toledo were joined by a further 41 for the park’s new shows.
Immersive sound with L-ISA
The park entrusted the sound of its shows to L-Acoustics’ L-ISA immersive technology, which Puy du Fou already used in France: L-Acoustics L-ISA makes history hyperreal for Puy du Fou Spain.
A 360º rotating grandstand
One of the biggest stage-engineering challenges was the rotating grandstand that moves the audience from one stage to another, designed, manufactured and installed by Master Industrie.
A project that keeps growing
By its 2022 season, the park had already seen investment of close to 200 million euros and employed 623 people, with the aim of reaching one million visitors.
ISP Audio & Light will continue to report on Puy du Fou España’s technical developments.
