Dinopolis, is divided into various halls, each with its specific subject matter, such as the Hall of the Sea, Hall of the Mammals or the Paleontology Workshop. Besides the now famous ‘Time Traveler’ attraction, which places the visitor in a special all-terrain vehicle for a ride through the origins of life on our planet, two new attractions have been added. ‘Saurus Park’, aimed at keeping the very young visitors busy and ‘T-Rex’, featuring a life-sized Tyrannosaurus incorporating the latest in animatronics.
Ingenia QED, SA, the Madrid-based company responsible for the design and production of the Time Traveler attraction, specified D.A.S. Audio’s Factor and Dynamics series systems for sound effects in the numerous zones of the attraction: 10 Factor 5 monitors, 11 DS-12 sound reinforcement systems and 18 units of the DS-8 are discretely installed throughout the length of Time Traveler, while nine Sub-118 bass units provide the dramatic low frequency effects.
The audio systems designed by Ingenia QED for the attraction consist of digital audio reproduction devices connected to equalizers, power amplification and speaker systems selected to provide specific characteristics for each of the numerous zones or scenes. "In some cases," said Francisco López of Ingenia QED, "the objective was to provide a diffuse sound field, while in others we needed to aim the source precisely, the objective being to fix the visitor’s attention on a specific point along the path of the attraction."
