What fits in Gold Coast Room-
With a 6.1 m ceiling, a flown wall of Absen A2 Pro (2.97 mm) runs 63 tiles wide by 8 high (504 tiles, 31.5 x 4 m, 10584 x 1344 px) once you keep 1.5 m of trim under the bottom edge. That wall weighs about 5,040 kg and draws up to 93.2 kW (448 A at 208 V). Floor space after a 12 x 7 m stage seats roughly 1,238 theater, 506 banquet, or 348 classroom. The previz lets you move the wall, change the tile, and check sightlines from the back row.

Wall sizing assumes 1.5 m trim to the bottom edge, 0.3 m clearance under the ceiling, and a wall no wider than 80% of the longest wall. Weight and power are tile totals from the panel spec sheet; add processing, rigging, and cable.
Planning notes
No rigging point data is published for this venue yet; plan on ground-supported LED or ask the venue for its rigging plot. 20 of the 23 rooms sit under 3.5 m, which rules out flown LED there and limits ground-stacked walls to about 6 rows of 500 mm tile. Gold Coast Room- is a long room (2.4:1), so put the wall on the short end and expect the back row to be 39.6 m out; a 2.97 mm pitch holds up at that distance.
