The concept art looks amazing. LOVE that Morgan Freeman is the narrator. This could be really amazing.
I've been hoping for that for a long time now. A parade would probably be too hard, considering how tight the walkways and streets are in IOA, but their lagoon is perfect for a show. There isn't a single angle in that park where you can't see it. They could easily do something that could work around its center, such as with Epcot's Illuminations.
Pretty excited to see this as I think its a big step in the right direction for the resort. People love fountain shows. Each showing of the Bellagio fountains in the evenings (which is a MUCH better show at night then it is at the day) draws hundreds of people to it. Amping it up with the video show and other effects make it even better.
I understand that it draws similarities to the World of Color show at DCA. However based off the concept art for both shows I would say that yes they are similar but I honestly can't see any "Blatent Ripoffs" that so many seem to claim. They both offer a unique experiance using similar technology.

Conceptually WOC is more akin to Universal 360 than any previous Disney produced nighttime spectaculars. Disney had not done one highlighting their studios output before WOC.
TSMM has more in common with a home video game console than Spiderman.

I'll go off topic one second and then time to go on....TSMM was suppossed to be the Harry Potter ride concept....nuff said
Back to the show, the only thing I'm wondering with this show is if fountains are of the "dancing" type or are they just stationary and shoot straight up in the air?
And when it comes to WOC, who is stay that Disney didn't buy their fountains from Acquatica as well? There are a ton of similarities, and I'm sure some of that tech is patented.

Then we'll agree to disagree. :smiley:
Exactly. Simple as that.
I'm personally pretty damn excited to see this thing in action. I think Universal 360 was an absolute abomination, but with the dough that HP is pouring into Uni's purse, they can finally afford to make a really memorable nighttime show. Since it's premiering next month, has anyone heard anything regarding a press event? I'm assuming OU will be on hand to cover it?
I have to say I'm excited that it isn't just water, but some pyro is still involved.
p.s. Inside the Magic posted a snippet of the announcement vid and people are bashing it...I say we all start posting positive comments on the comment feed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cl3KXJEl7s&feature=related
op:A few of my personal favorites:
Im glad to hear all this negativity towards universal's "World of Color". I f we keep this up, they may stop it due to negative feedback. Also, can Disney sue them for this?

Not sure why 360 got so much flack. I enjoyed it for what it was and knowing Universal's limitations. People were constantly disappointed though, audibly expecting some big fireworks which they just.. cannot.. do there. This definitely looks like an upgrade over 360 so I'll be more than happy.
360 had no soul. There was no emotional connection. Sure it was lots of movie clips but there wasn't a compelling narrative that tied it all together. Just big music, big clips, some fireworks, and then it was over.
I feel like with this new show they learned the lessons from 360 and they are going to make it an emotional journey.
Its not nice to tell people to not be Fans of disney. :bouncymick:
Its truly hard to have an opinion on this Forum :look:
No offense, but opinions are welcome, un-needed bashing isn't.
One thing is offering an opinion and be critical of something, another thing is to make a totally un-needed comment and putting Disney up on a pedestal, when clearly, right now they aren't.
This is ORLANDO UNITED, not EVERYBODY LOVES DISNEY or UNIVERSAL.

Good god.....those comments are so off the wall. Disney didn't fraking invent the water fountain show! :blah:
