LEGOLAND New York adds kinetic dance floors to promote renewable energy awareness
LEGOLAND New York has introduced a new energy-generating feature at its Minifigure Skyflyer attraction through a collaboration with Dutch company Energy Floors.
The installation consists of kinetic dance floors that convert movement into power, integrating renewable energy into the park's operations.
Interactive educational experience
The kinetic floors use movement-tracking technology to capture energy generated by visitors’ steps and transform it into usable electricity. Each floor is equipped with advanced control units and visual data streams that demonstrate how energy is produced.
This feature offers an educational opportunity for guests, allowing them to see the tangible effects of renewable energy generation in real time.
Michel Smit, CEO of Energy Floors, said:
“Collaborating with LEGOLAND® New York has been a fantastic opportunity for Energy Floors. This collaboration exemplifies how interactive elements can enhance the visitor experience while promoting sustainability. Our customizable kinetic tiles can adapt to any theme, making it easy to integrate them into diverse environments.
“As guests engage with our kinetic dance floors, they contribute to renewable energy generation, turning waiting periods into fun, educational experiences. We can’t wait to see how families embrace the concept of sustainability in such a memorable way.”
Energy Floors designs systems aimed at increasing awareness of renewable energy through interactive installations. The company’s technologies are used in a variety of settings, including theme parks, public spaces, and educational institutions.
