International live show of the world record attempt toppling dominoes, from an exhibition hall in the north of the Netherlands.
The programme is broadcast live not only in the Netherlands, but also in Germany, France, Austria and Belgium.
The hall is converted for the event: all kinds of special measures are taken for the record attempt, such as levelling floors, installing draught barriers and vermin control.
In total 75 people spend 12 weeks setting up all the 2,500,000 dominoes, divided over 50 projects. (see show reel Entertainment / Domino Journal)
During the world record attempt two records were broken: toppling of the most dominoes (2,472,480) and toppling of the largest area of dominoes (over 600,000 pieces).
The theme of the world record attempt is Europe Without Boundaries, e.g. the Fall of the Berlin Wall is represented by dominoes.
Frank Castien was appointed as artist producer and was responsible for the performance of Anastacia and Kylie Minoque at the next two editions of the show.
