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.
