Sky Elements Drone Light Shows, in partnership with the city of Mansfield, established a new Guinness World Record on Sept. 28, 2024, by executing a stunning pyrotechnic drone show featuring 1,164 drones.
This impressive display marked the record for the most remote-operated multirotor drones launching fireworks simultaneously, surpassing the previous record of 1,068 drones set by Pablo Air, a South Korean drone show exhibitor.
After nearly 14 hours of preparation, Natalia Ramirez, a Guinness World Records adjudicator, verified the successful record attempt. The event was held at Mansfield Sports Park, where community members gathered to witness this groundbreaking display, leaving a lasting impression on all who attended.
Titled “Fire and Ice,” the performance depicted a battle between an ice wolf and a fiery phoenix, illustrating a timeless conflict. As the show progressed, the audience watched the two mythical creatures clash dramatically in the night sky.
With the finale approaching, the music faded, and the sky darkened, setting the stage for the climactic reveal — all 1,164 drones ignited simultaneously, forming the breathtaking image of a phoenix soaring into the air. As the pyrotechnics dimmed, the drones illuminated in vibrant shades of orange and red, symbolizing the phoenix’s rise from the ashes. This stunning visual cemented Sky Elements' achievement as they celebrated their ninth Guinness World Record.
The show concluded with a tribute to Moo Deng, the beloved Thai pygmy hippopotamus who has won hearts worldwide. This special segment served as a delightful post-credits scene for the audience.
