Maybe they don't want people getting too excited for a FIREWORKS show like Happily Ever After? :shrug: I mean, sure, there's fireworks in the show, but these are nothing in comparison really.What would be the rationale behind that?
Not being compared to Disney seems likely to be the main reason. But I like to believe it’s because Pyrotechnic is a movie making term!Maybe they don't want people getting too excited for a FIREWORKS show like Happily Ever After? :shrug: I mean, sure, there's fireworks in the show, but these are nothing in comparison really.
Nor are they the focus of the show.
Gru & The Minions manufacture them in a small nondescript building behind the attraction. At least that's what I've heard from some insiders.Does Universal manufacture their own "pyrotechnics" or do they buy them?
Do you mean do they work with a firework manufacturer to get custom fireworks/are they basic?Does Universal manufacture their own "pyrotechnics" or do they buy them?
No. Disney literally builds their own mortars. It saves them a ton of money.Do you mean do they work with a firework manufacturer to get custom fireworks/are they basic?
Huh, I thought I remembered @Marni1971 saying that Disney gets their stuff shipped over from Germany or someplace like that.No. Disney literally builds their own mortars. It saves them a ton of money.
Disney gets all of their fireworks from ChinaNo. Disney literally builds their own mortars. It saves them a ton of money.
I don't believe Universal does. But that is why I asked.
I believe there was an explosion years ago on a Chinese barge which caused IllumiNations and Wishes to run on minimal fireworks for a while...That leads me to believe they order themNo. Disney literally builds their own mortars. It saves them a ton of money.

I don't know nothin' about packin' no shellsI didn't mean that Disney was making gunpowder. I believe they buy the powder formulated for different color from China, but they pack the shells on property.
People here recommended that. Good to see many of us were onto something.They added opening narration!! Really helps to tie the whole show together. A small change that makes a huge difference.
Hopefully this shows during the Holiday season.
- The show was designed to be interchangeable.
I mean, you don't need that excuse to put BTTF in the show if they really wanted to. The DeLorean and the Train are out there for pictures and Doc comes out and does roaming M&Gs every day.So you know how this is supposed to be looking back at your day at the park and highlight those IPs. Well, what if at the beginning of the show the Back to the Future twinkle sound was played to signal going back in time and getting vr a nod to the IP. Thoughts?
I don’t think they want it to be a focus of the show though. By doing the above, it gives a nod without focusing on an older IP snot represented in the park.I mean, you don't need that excuse to put BTTF in the show if they really wanted to.
