The crew of 4 technicians set up four of the Pyrotek Dragons, using 8 heads, on the canopies either side of the Odeon. The Dragons fired huge flames into the air whilst the guests arrived and paraded down the red carpet, and continued to entertain the crowds throughout the 3 hour screening of the film.
The crew also rigged a 70 ft wide pyrotechnic waterfall from the parapet at the top of the building using 4oz Gerbs. The waterfall was fired on the arrival of Jack Black and the switch on of the illuminated sign 'KING KONG Eighth Wonder of the World'.
