Meet the Magic Makers A DAY IN THE LIFE OF
By Chief Magic Maker Maxence Clemencon
Each day at Alta Lumina begins with a quick walk around the park, making sure the path through the enchanted forest is clear and nothing is lying around, such as fallen branches, etc. Then we do a second round to put everything into place and check all the electronics. The team then splits into two; one group sets everything up and puts everything into place, the other tests all the lights and other effects to make sure everything is in perfect condition, ready for another night of amazement for our visitors. As is often the case during the winter season, fresh snowfall can mean a lot of extra work here at Alta Lumina. Safety is our priority, so whenever the snow makes an appearance, we need to clear the whole pathway. We also sprinkle forest-friendly grit to minimise slip hazards. Many lights also need to be cleared of snow to ensure the light effects are not impacted by the snow. On top of that, the magic makers must ensure that all of the electronics are still in perfect working order and snow hasn’t gone in places we don’t it want to. Snowy days are tough days here but when the sun has set, the magic really goes up a whole new level! 64
