Electrosonic's expertise showcased in 5

Thea Award-winning projects

Update : 19:10 Published by François Mayné the 28 November 2012, Corporate.

The international audio-visual company Electrosonic is pleased to announce that it has been involved in five projects that have received Thea Awards for Outstanding Achievement.

Presented by the Themed Entertainment Association (TEA), the international non-profit association representing the world’s leading creators, developers, designers and producers of compelling places and experiences, the Thea Awards recognize and honor excellence and breakthrough innovation in visitor experiences, attractions, exhibits and places.

Working directly for Walt Disney Imagineering, Electrosonic performed the AV systems installation of the Radiator Springs Racers ride at Disney California Adventure in Anaheim, USA. Winning in the Attraction category, the ride puts visitors in the driver’s seat for a thrilling race through the world of Disney-Pixar’s Cars.

Electrosonic’s close working relationship with Universal Creative has resulted in another award winning attraction. Electrosonic handled AV system design and integration for TRANSFORMERS: The Ride 3D at Universal Studios Singapore and Universal Studios Hollywood, USA. The attraction is an immersive, next-generation thrill ride that puts visitors in the middle of the ultimate war zone with the famed Transformers.

The company was also hired by Thinkwell Group to provide design, engineering and installation services for the Warner Bros. Studio Tour – The Making of Harry Potter attraction in London, which netted honors in the Studio Tour category. At this venue, visitors experience the “making of” process used to bring the extraordinary characters, worlds and events of the books alive on the big screen.

Working for WET Design, Electrosonic performed the projection system design and integration for WET’s contribution to Living Screen display at the Big-O Experience water sculpture at Yeosu 2012 International Expo in Korea, a winner in the Event category. The unique multimedia installation fused a breakthrough concept and cutting-edge technology to dazzle visitors.

Finally, winning in the Museum category is Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame in Calgary, for which the company provided AV system design and integration services. The dynamic new facility celebrates Canada’s sports heroes and legends in a dozen galleries with compelling media and displays.

The Thea Awards will be formally presented on 6 April 2013 at the 19th Annual Thea Awards Gala, a ticketed, black-tie dinner affair, open to the public, at the Disneyland Resort, Anaheim, USA.
