According to behind-the-scenes footage released by Emaar, a six-month preparation has led up to the big night, with some astounding numbers displaying the sheer gamut of the December 31 event:
- To set up for the December 31 spectacle 100 technicians were required
- To create the Burj Khalifa fireworks display 1.6 tonnes of active material has been used
- Fireworks will be set off from 409 shooting points
- 375,000 LED nodes have been installed for the façade [A facade or façade is generally one exterior side of a building, usually, but not always, the front. The word comes from the French language, literally meaning "frontage" or "face"].
- More than 51,000 pixels have been used to create the world’s tallest LED screen
- 70kms of network cable has been used
- Two months to set-up the fireworks and nodes
This year, the Downtown Dubai New Year’s Eve Gala will have clearly defined themed-acts, each highlighting an inspiring facet of the emirate, stated Emaar, with the crowning glory being the visual-masterpiece of the Burj Khalifa fireworks and light displays.
