Technical masterpiece

From the beginning of the project, Ice-World was involved for its expertise and knowledge of ice floors. Within a technical project group, everything was first thought out technically, from the technique of spinning to the temperature and thickness of the ice floor. Solutions were also found for climate control, ventilation and dehumidification in the theater. After all, 1,500 visitors take quite a bit of heat with them.

For the construction, Ice-World deviated from the normal way of building an ice rink. To lay down a round ice rink, special spacers allow for the natural bending of aluminum tubes, which ensure the freezing of the floor. The tubes are connected to the freezing system. And then we immediately come to the biggest challenge. The inner ring has to be disconnected from the freezing system during the show and keep its cold throughout. For this purpose, the ice floor is reduced to -15 degrees, where otherwise -10 degrees is sufficient. And where the system normally only freezes the water layer from below, it was now chosen to place the system in the middle of the 10-centimeter-thick ice floor. This bottom and top cooling ensures extra-long good ice, despite the disconnection of the system. Ideal, then, for a musical of 2.5 hours.

Extensively tested

The ice floor was extensively tested in a shed to make sure everything worked properly. Then 8 Ice-World employees built the entire ice floor in the theater in 10 days. A fantastic project. We wish the musical De Tocht success!

Ice attracts families for a fun day out. An ice rink increases dwell time and acts as anchor for your other rides and offers. Special events and shows on the ice rink will boost your footfall and revenue figures even more. During the IAAPA exhibition, Ice-World will show their innovative ice rink concepts and accessories such as the famous Bobby the Seal®, Tommy the Reindeer® and the IceByk®.  IAAPA is with over 6,000 member companies from over 100 countries the premier trade association representing the attractions industry.  The IAAPA Expo in Orlando is the Global Attractions Industry’s premier event.
