Koolfog Designs World Tallest Fog Effect

Towering 200 meters above ground-level, Koolfog wows visitors in Doha, Qatar with what is now considered to be the world's tallest fog effect. Employing industrial high-airflow fans, lighting and Koolfog's pure water fog technology, Qatar's Aspire Tower boasts a simulated flame effect that can be seen throughout the city. After several months collaboration between Koolfog headquarters, Koolfog Europe, and the client, the simulated flame effect was launched atop Tower in June 2007. After seeing the effect for the first time, the client stated "Why did we not have this in the first place rather than the real gas flame ... the flame was not as big, a realistic, or as cost effective."
