ShowTex played a huge role in the making of the dazzling Cartoon Network zone at IMG Worlds of Adventure. With the capacity to welcome more than 20,000 guests a day, it is the largest temperature controlled indoor theme park in the world, featuring roller coasters and thrill rides based on popular Cartoon Network characters, iconic Marvel Super Heroes and animatronic dinosaurs.

Inside the Cartoon Network Theatre, 75 motorized cubes with integrated ShowLED Hybrid LEDs decorate the ceiling. With 4 sides of the cubes printed on Backlit stretch and the bottom face being an RP fusion screen, they colourfully light up the whole venue when the RGB LEDs come into action. In addition to this, every corner of the venue holds a large printed Backlit Stretch pillar in Cube Frame, with integrated LEDs, mounted to the floor and ceiling.

All around the theatre, the walls are decorated with prints on Universal 250 fabric, mounted in Single Print Frame. Behind the audience, a custom-curved Single Print Frame holds a ShowLED Classic star drop that adds an extra sparkle to the venue. 

On stage, there are 3 versatile backdrop drapes to choose from: a velvet, a Filled Cloth and a ShowLED Animation Hybrid star cloth, all attached to wall-mounted ShowPipe tracks. In front of these backdrops, a GobelinTulle sharkstooth scrim attached to a HiSpeed RollUp system provides a flexible projection surface when needed.

ShowTex used inherently flame-retardant Molton CS masking curtains for all borders and legs and a ChainTrack rail system to automatically open and close the sparkling ShowLED Animation LED curtain. 

To top it all off, the Venetian front-of-house drape is a stunning velvet that gets pulled up by a 9m wide Venetia Truss Roller.

Let the show begin!
