Dronisos, a leading drone light show specialist, has cemented its reputation as a technology partner of choice for international entertainment leaders with its contribution to the new Disney Cascade of Lights nighttime show at Disneyland Paris.

In addition to its drone offering, the company has supplied a complete robotic system for the new show. This system orchestrates a 360-degree immersive nighttime experience that brings the magic both closer to the audience and at a low altitude.


Disneyland Paris required proximity, immersion, and safety. In response, Dronisos developed an integrated solution that synchronises aerial and aquatic robotic platforms with unique coordination and security software. This ecosystem is managed through a single, unified command interface.

The show's world-first, multi-platform robotic fleet is fully programmed, secured, and monitored through a centralised interface.

This advancement demonstrates Dronisos’ expertise in both deploying drone light shows and designing complete robotic systems for prestigious environments, where emotional impact is critical.

Dronisos ideates and builds the next generation of entertainment technology through its laboratory xLabs, which focuses on developing robotic solutions for theme parks.

For Disney Cascade of Lights, it engineered Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs), a new aquatic product equipped with lighting and pyrotechnics, and developed the associated production and simulation workflows

As a global company with a history in France, Dronisos draws on its innovative French teams for the research and development of its solutions and on the country's renowned technical partners. For this project, it partnered with Odas Solutions to create bespoke hulls for its aquatic drones.

Dronisos' distinctive ability to design and deploy complete systems, from robotic platforms and software layers to real-world operational execution, is powered by its centralisation of diverse expertise within a unified architecture.

Making the 'impossible possible'

This continued collaboration with Disneyland Paris highlights Dronisos’ ability to support theme parks over both the long term and for a range of projects, from one-off events to daily resident installations.

From ground rovers to aquatic platforms, aerial drone fleets or flight control software, the company delivers integrated robotic solutions that meet the sector’s most demanding requirements for reliability, operation, and safety.

This approach positions Dronisos as a trusted partner for entertainment leaders, with a proven ability to turn a creative vision into a robust, operational, and spectacular technological system.

Ben Spalding, producer at Disneyland Paris, says: "Dronisos understands our creative needs as we push forward and continue to innovate and push the limits of our imagination.

"They are great partners helping us make the impossible possible."

As audiences look forward to the new nighttime show at Disney Adventure World, Dronisos is already developing technologies to shape the next evolution of immersive experiences.

Earlier this month, Dronisos announced the appointment of Jeremy Pancoast as vice president of US business development.
