Shipwrecked

Flagstaff Hill, Victoria, Australia 2003

‘Shipwrecked’ at Flagstaff Hill has been awarded “Victoria’s Best Tourist Attraction” for the second year running, by the Victorian Tourism Board.

The historic maritime park of Flagstaff Hill is located along Victoria’s infamous ‘shipwreck coastline’ and to increase visitation, the tourist attraction required a dramatic portrayal of the surrounding coastline and the treachery of the waters which have claimed more than 160 ships.

The solution provided by Laservision included the themed show titled ‘Shipwrecked’. The audience is taken on an outdoor journey through the maritime village via a purpose-designed theatre constructed by Laservision.

The audience looks out of the theatre to experience a 30-minute multimedia light show that incorporates both the historic village and an arsenal of special effects. Both laser and digital projection are used as the main storytelling elements on the water screen.

‘Shipwrecked’ also includes the use of architectural lighting, artificial rain and wind, surround sound and a 4D-motion base that completes the permanent tourism attraction on Victoria’s south-west coast.
