The Giant The tallest moving


statue in the world


A new visitor attraction concept has been launched. Called The Giant, it features the world’s tallest moving statue, standing over ten stories high. Paul Ruben reports.


T


he Giant was conceived by The Giant Company based in Dublin, Ireland. The idea was initially inspired by


Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels. Supported by Enterprise Ireland and the world’s largest commercial real estate company, CBRE, the concept for The Giant includes the multi- storey statue mounted on a plinth housing a novel exhibition. The Giant’s arms and head can move to a diversity of positions and its patented skin, a matrix of millions of programmable LED pixels gives it the ability to instantly take the form of any man or woman, boy or girl from historical figures such as Albert Einstein or Amelia Earhart to stars of today from Lionel Messi to Beyoncé.

man or woman and will also have the ability to speak or sing to the crowds that gather below. Between these dramatic appearances visitors who have been scanned inside the exhibition space will be uploaded onto the giant statue resulting in the world’s most spectacular selfie. Visitors who are scanned can add audio messages to their Giant Selfies wishing friends and relatives birthday and anniversary greetings, offering marriage proposals and other salutations. More than a visual wonder, visitors to the attraction will explore several fully immersive exhibits that feature state-of-the-art technologies including augmented and virtual reality, robotics and artificial intelligence. The exhibits are designed to be surprising, entertaining, educational and


engaging for all age groups. Another feature of The Giant is the viewing tower where visitors can literally stand on the “shoulders of a giant” and look out over the city from a dramatic vantage point.


The attraction offers significant economic benefits to cities where it will be located providing a diversity of jobs and attracting local and international tourists and residents who will increase footfall in the vicinity. Besides income from ticket sales, The Giant provides several revenue- producing opportunities including advertising on the spectacular three-dimensional digital statue, Giant selfies, private and corporate events, and conferences and retail shops and restaurants which are situated on the terrace roof garden.
