Preparing a 500-acre site for 45,000 music fans, 125
life-size dinosaurs, five huge stages, and a four-day music
festival takes a lot of work. This year, the organizers of the
Lost Lands Festival used a Magni rotating telehandler to
help set up the site and found they saved time and money
compared to traditional equipment.
The Lost Lands Festival, held in Thornville, Ohio, is
the creation of Excision, a dubstep DJ whose inspiration
created a music festival themed around dinosaurs.
The electronic dance music festival is a celebration of
headbanging music featuring top bass DJs. The sound
level on-site is loud enough that organizers give every
ticketholder a free pair of earplugs.
Set-up for the festival takes about a month, said Mike
Smith, operations manager for Excision Music USA LLC.
During that month, as many as 400 people are on-site
setting up millions of dollars worth of lights, sound and
video equipment, trusses and staging. (Not to mention
the dinosaurs, which “come from the same people Disney
gets them from,” Smith noted.)
It’s a massive, fantastic operation. For a sense of scale,
the main stage is 375 feet wide, with the second main
stage measuring 170 feet wide. One life-sized dinosaur
stands about 100 feet tall.
From the minute the Magni RTH 6.35 came on site,
Smith was impressed with its versatility and ease of use.
