Does anyone have an idea on budget for this? World of Color was 75 mill and Longwood Gardens fountains more recently were 90 mill. Cost would be a possible indicator of how many fountains we could see.
Woah. Really? That seems almost impossible with the current look of the construction.

Yup. Operationally, i also think it’s smart to have a show that will draw guests to the front half of the park at closing, away from F&F/Diagon/MoM(?).Because to make a good show of this nature, you absolutely need a dedicated viewing angle. They tried to do a show using the entire lagoon the last two times and they were both horrible failures.
Good point. In the first couple of years of Cinemagic, most of the crowd was in the front sections of the lagoon. But once Diagon opened, it seems the masses gravitated back to the London area.Yup.

That's a good point. I totally get having a dedicated viewing angle, which will offer a better show than from any other viewing area around the lagoon for previous shows. I do wish that was the only angle, tho. Unfortunately you'll also be able to watch the show from the sides, and from behind, and from far away at the back of the park... but I guess something's gotta give. They've tried lagoon-wide shows before and here we are.
That also makes sense.
The upstairs of Lombard's should give an excellent view still and it could be used as an upcharge area, as it was for CineSpec.I'm surprised they are, seemingly, not going to include the viewing areas near Duff Gardens and Lombard's. Seems like a waste of prime space, especially if you want to do an upcharge dinner package...
I could see this debuting close to when Aventura opens tbh. Universal could hold a media event for the two and boom, you've already got something new to promote this year that isn't F&F.I think there will be more fireworks than most are expecting
Even then, I agree, there’s 0 chance they get this ready by their deadline. Idk why it took so long to get started if they want this done befor August

I assume it'll be much like WoC. Dedicated viewing area that show is designed to be viewed from, but can watch it from other areas resulting in a less than stellar perception of the show.

I would think it would be more viable to have a VIP dinner at La Bamaba then walk the group over to a special reserved seating location in the viewing spotYea, that's the gist I'm getting.
I've never been up there, would you be able to see the pyro from that location? I just don't know if they'd upcharge a significantly worse viewing location.
Yea, that seems like the better option for sureI would think it would be more viable to have a VIP dinner at La Bamaba then walk the group over to a special reserved seating location in the viewing spot
Hoses and fountains get attached on the top of platform. Then water level is raised back up submerging platform.So, do we expect them to run out at the last moment and bolt things to these platforms? Are there hinges that will open up parts of the platforms for things to rise up from? Why oh why do they require so much finished surface area? Might performers wade out onto the platforms and do grand and flashy things? I hope that I am not the only one baffled by this.

#WATERLEVELWATCHYea, that platform is where it's gonna stay. The water will just rise and (mostly) cover the hardware they'll put on top of it
However, you are all expecting numerous elaborate fountains to be installed? You think this or does someone on here know this?
