Attack!
Since May 30, teams from several countries have been attacking the Fort! With a control room specially installed for the occasion, all the technicians present will produce the show until July 15.
With more than two months of activities, and shoots taking place every day, you have to hold onto the Fort and not get seasick.
Fort Boyard by the numbers is: 4 Bengal tigers, 90 snakes including one 5 meter long, 55 kilogram python (pretty baby!), 30 scorpions, 40 trapdoor spiders, 50 (large) rats, 1 surfer, 3 Zodiac rigid inflatable boats, 120 people, more than 500 cassettes, 73 shows for 5 different countries...
2011 is Fort Boyard's year of novelty and change. In fact, the new season of Fort Boyard will see some challenges reappear, such as the powder barrel, mud wrestling, sea legs, and the beam. New technologies will appear with 2 completely interactive challenges: the interactive cell and the visual enigmas of Father Fouras. Other novelties will include 8 new adventures to find clues: the beam-water fountains, the shrinking cell, the underwater cage, the stretcher, the tanks, the animal lotto, the drain, and the abandoned cabin. In terms of characters, the new Fort Boyard season recruited: Lady Boo, Blanche and Luciole.
Also new in terms of our system: the replacement of our old cameras with new RF controlled HD cameras, and the use of additional GoPro onboard cameras. You can now see the smallest details of the challenges since the entire Fort is HD equipped thanks to our specially dedicated control room.
