Multimedia Shows

The most fascinating attraction of the park is the multimedia shows.

"The Source of Light" show is about the adventures of two Romon panda bears “Romon” and “Romie”. The bears discover a magic ball inside the Romon park Pyramid. This magic ball is the “Source of all Lights” and takes the pandas on a journey through strange worlds. The different worlds are experienced by the audience through the combination of the multimedia effects.

“The Story of Zheng He”, the second multimedia spectacle tells the tale of Zheng He, a Chinese admiral and diplomat of the 15-th century. Zheng He commanded massive expeditionary voyages to Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Middle East, and East Africa from 1405 to 1433.

Zheng He commanded a large fleet of ships. His first voyage is estimated to have had over 300 total ships and nearly 28,000 men. Some of the ships were large treasure ships estimated to be over 400 feet long and 170 feet wide. That's longer than a football field! They had ships to carry treasure, ships to carry horses and troops, and even special ships to carry fresh water. Certainly the civilizations that Zheng He visited were amazed at the power and strength of the Chinese Empire when this fleet arrived.

Both shows include video projection mapping, laser beams and laser graphic effects, digital water screen, fire bursts, lights, fog, music and sound effects. Shows are technically based on 10x Barco video projectors projecting onto the 30x30 meters pyramid, the 20 meters wide pyramid stage screen and the back wall, 2x High-End video servers, 12x full colour laser projectors, 48 moving lights, 20x flame bursts and 18 meters digital water screen all centrally controlled and synchronized.

Both multimedia shows became a core attraction of the Romon U-Park. Emotion Media Factory was responsible for all aspects of project planning, from a rough sketch of the idea through design and installation all the way to full show production, as well as system operation and maintenance. For each multimedia show Emotion Media Factory produced individually composed music scores combined with multi-track sound effects. The individual music composition maximises the intensity of the shows and creates the unique multimedia experience, which can be enjoyed by people of all age groups.
