Nice to see a new projection show. Hopefully, this will be around the time length of the Christmas Holiday show. The original night show was good, but at only 4 minutes duration, a little too short. I especially like that the new show will have four different endings. Keeps it fresh and repeatable.

Looking forward to this, but setting sites low. Was there any mention of drones for this one?

 

[Wesker69]

Never realized Nighttime Lights at Hogwarts was so short. But I think because it was so well done, it feels a little longer

As for drones, I'd say if the Lagoon show is using them, they're not going to want to take away from that gimmick. Which is probably why this newer show was created.

 

[Ahmanet]

No days or times on the website at least , when it does debut will just be one show nightly?

 

[Brian G.]

The show is great update over Nighttime lights. Really love the new projections and effects. Will have more in my official review tomorrow. Will have video up soon!

Having 4 Ends is so smart, good on Universal and hoping this show makes it way to USH

Also with the new wands coming out next year, any way the new wands can interact with these shows? I mainly me like lighting up or something to the music

How are they handling crowds for this?

The original light show was great when not many knew about it; then crowds became a hassle; then they put those weird rope safety barriers up through the middle; then it looked like Times Square on NYE. Don't want that!

About like that when it's busy, but I went to the last showing at 9:55 when I watched the show and it was already so empty by that time all the barriers were already gone.

So this show has already completed its run, but no announcement on Dark Arts premiering?

I was kinda thinking along the same lines. Could be cool with the new wands that are coming out, if they keep track of which house has the most points by the end of the day and then that house is projected as the winner that night.

Is this show running again? Or still suspended? The app just says “returning in 2025”

Yes it's running again. They're taking a mini break though, after tonight it won't be back till May 22

That's a long mini break. Sounds like they're only running it when they have big crowds projected for the week.
