VULCANIA<br />
auvergne – f | adventure park »vulcania« | 2016<br />
«Vulcania» is the world's largest theme park for volcanoes and earth sciences. A play<br />
area, the «Pitoufeu Village», was created especially for the park mascot. The core of the<br />
game area is a playable volcano. In its dimensions, diameter approx. 7.5 m; height<br />
approx. 7.5 m, it is comparable to a single-family house. All three floors are furnished<br />
with lovingly designed furniture and objects. In some cases, interactive games such as<br />
memory, sliding game or Maltafel are integrated. The floors are connected by a wide<br />
spiral staircase. It offers the children the opportunity to switch quickly between the<br />
floors and adults can visit it like a home and participate actively in the children's role<br />
plays. The volcano is embedded in a bridge construction. The fixed bridge deck makes<br />
it possible for wheelchair users to reach the 2nd level and use the sensor plays below the<br />
bridge. Different ways into the volcano and onto the bridge result in short as well as<br />
long and interesting game cycles with different degrees of difficulty. Thus, there are<br />
always new challenges for all visitors to explore the volcano.
