“Paul's incredible depth of ​knowledge and ​experience with these attractions never ceases ​to amaze me. It is ​always ​an honor to work ​with him on ​projects. I've ​mentioned ​this to my ​team before, but ​I know ​that as long as Paul ​is involved, the AV ​systems ​will ​be ​set up correctly and ready on time for ​media ​integration. I don't ​think ​I'll ​ever get ​over ​how ​spoiled working ​with him ​has made me!”

how qco entertainment helped

QCO Founder Paul Cuoco has a deep history with this attraction, having served as an original projection designer with the Universal Creative Team. Ten years after the ride’s debut, QCO was invited back to solve a critical challenge: replacing the aging lamp-based infrastructure with modern laser technology.

In a groundbreaking collaboration with Christie Digital, QCO executed the first installation in the world utilizing hybrid sapphire RGB and laser phosphor projectors. This upgrade delivered unprecedented brightness, sharpness, and color fidelity, breathing new life into a classic attraction.
