Drone Light Shows for Theme Parks and Attractions

Updated: Jun 10

For a theme park or attraction, a drone light show is a nightly draw that keeps guests on site and sends them home with a story. It can light up the park's brand, run themed seasonal shows, and close every night on a finale, then fly again the next evening. This guide covers why parks and attractions add drone shows, what one can do, and what it costs.


Why theme parks and attractions add drone shows


A nightly show gives guests a reason to stay until closing and a reason to come back, which is exactly what a park wants. A drone show provides that headline moment, refreshes the guest experience, and creates the kind of footage visitors film and share, all without the fire and fallout of nightly fireworks.


What a theme park drone show can do


The show can build the park's brand and logo, themed characters and scenes, seasonal imagery, and a nightly finale, all in full color and timed to music. Because every show is custom, it can be tailored to the park's identity and refreshed for new seasons and events.


A show you can run night after night


Unlike fireworks, which are consumed each time, a drone fleet flies again and again, which makes a drone show well suited to a nightly or recurring program. Once designed, the same show can run on a schedule, and new versions can be added for holidays and special events.


Seasonal versatility


A single park can run a summer show, a Halloween show, and a winter holiday show with the same fleet, simply by changing the design. See Halloween and holiday drone shows.


Who books a theme park drone show


Theme parks, amusement parks, zoos and aquariums, botanical gardens, and large attractions and resorts book drone shows as a recurring nightly draw or for seasonal events.


Cost and booking


Theme park and attraction drone shows scale with size and the length of the program and typically start around $15,000 to $20,000, with recurring programs structured to fit the venue. See the cost guide.
