In the 1920′s, German inventor, Otto Przystawik, conceived the idea of combining the beauty of fountains with the music and gracefulness of ballet. Thus, “Przystawik’s Dancing Fountains” were born. In the beginning, he created fountains on a small scale for display in restaurants and stores.
Capture; 1960s
Stopped World War 2, he continued his work in 1950 and made an extraordinary fountain show at the ballroom and restaurant in Berlin. With live music, it did not take long for the show to become a very busy local destination with visitors and was famous at that time.
In 1952 the dancing fountains appeared at an exhibition in Berlin, where they captured the attention of a brilliant New York showman, Harold Steinman. Enthralled by the beauty and spectacle of the shows, Steinman purchased dozens over the next several decades. Naming them the “Dancing Waters”, his New York company sent the shows on tour throughout the United States and the rest of the world.
During the 1950′s, Otto and his son, Gunter, worked together in their German factory advancing their musical fountain designs. In 1965, Gunter moved to Florida, and with the passing of his father, continued the development of the family craft. After several dramatic breakthroughs, he named his new shows the “Waltzing Waters ®” to distinguish them from the older “dancing fountains” designed by his father.
Today, Michael Przystawik is at the helm and has incorporated the latest in space age technology, creating even more advanced designs. Heralding the dawn of a new millennium, “Waltzing Waters ® – Liquid Fireworks ®” continue to set the world standard for water, light and music spectaculars.
Liquid fireworks / Waltzing waters are certainly not just ordinary water fountains, but a fountain that can dance to the accompaniment of playing songs. This fountain has several variations of shape
Of course the size also varies according to client demand. The series of each component also needs to be considered, for example:
Liquid fireworks also has many projects in theme parks such as Disneyland, Six Flags, Seaworld and others. The project also has a very good reputation because it is implemented in a musical theater-based show where of course the fountain is used as an effect. For example,
Fantasy Waters at the Disneyland hotel is a fountain show with music basically, but what makes the difference is the audio narration that tells disney fantasies with Disney songs of course. Then in the Batman The Dark Knights (Six Flags Astroworld) show, this fountain is used as a special effect, of course, where the fountain dances according to the background music and per scene. So Liquid Fireworks is already part of the entertainment theme park and has been in it for decades
We also have a video during the test at the factory
We develop liquid fireworks not just a job and a profession. However, we developed it according to sincerity creating a beautiful choreography of water and light and making visitors amazed to see it. We are grateful for the support of our clients, fountain fans and others
