World of Color

World of Color is a new nighttime show at Disney California Adventure, part of the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California. The entire show cost $75,000,000 USD to design, manufacture and build,undefinedpremiering on Friday June 11, 2010 as part of "Summer Nightastic!". Designed by Walt Disney Creative Entertainment, the show has more than 1,200 fountains and includes lights, water, fire, fog, and lasers, with high-definition projections on mist screens. Mark Hammond and Dave Hamilton arranged the music, which was performed by the London Symphony Orchestra.

Show Elements


The show uses 1,200 fountains that can shoot water up to 200 ft in the air. Each fountain is equipped with and LED light ring]]. Other water features include a 380-foot-long mist screen on which images are projected (similar but smaller screens are used in Fantasmic! at Disneyland and Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World in Lake Buena Vista, Florida). Fire nozzles are capable of shooting flames up to 50 ft in the air. Fog and lasers are used.undefinedProjection domes emerge from the water atop telescopic masts and feature lighting effects and video projected onto the inside surface of the domes.undefinedA 65' tall telescopic mast was installed in the lagoon, to create Chernabog of Fantasia, but the tower has not been used since May 2010. Mickey's Fun Wheel has its lights synchronized throughout the show.

Searchlights and other light towers rise from boxes bordering Paradise Bay. Special animation sequences were created using paper animation by paper artist Megan Brain, who created many characters for the show. The music was recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London, England with over one hundred musicians. Australian Choreographer Joshua Horner created a unique interpretation of the music for the Disney Creative Entertainment team thus serving as another source of inspiration for the movement of the water fountain sequences.

The viewing area is known as Paradise Park. Situated along the northern shore of Paradise Bay, the viewing area can hold up to 4,000 spectators at full capacity. It is multi-tiered, similar to the viewing area for Fantasmic at Disneyland in Anaheim, California. It features trellises, flowers, and an interactive play fountain during the day. Hidden fountains located in the flower beds in the viewing area, are incorporated into the stampede scene from The Lion King, as well as the finale.
