Universal's Cinematic Celebration Night Show

[Imperius]

I generally do not care for night shows at any park, but this one is making me interested. Seem to be going all out.

Interesting things are popping up on people's feeds. Looks like a recording session -

Yup, as the Fiddle party marches on into the pale moonlight.

Keep getting more excited for this as more details emerge. If they end up making this a great show and follow up with another in IoA, I'll be a happy fan.

I'm trying to keep my expectations low, but yea, I really like everything I see so far. At least this time it looks like they're putting in the effort to do it correctly

Wow it’s really grown.

At the park right now. Looks like some equipment may finally be going in. A lot of work going on in the building on the water closest to Transformers. The platform is HUGE. They spent a good chunk of money on that thing. It's definitely not going anywhere.

I see #SENSATIONS Could be the name for the new show!

3 different "entrance ramps" now. It's gotten enormous.
So big, that the viewing area looks tiny, and way too close to everything. Obviously, it won't be as disproportionate once the water level is raise, but just an amusing difference in scale.

I wish we had some pictures from the other side - I can't make out where the far right ramp goes (on the transformers side).

@MrPipps Can you snap a pic by chance?

Yea, the viewing area is seemingly tiny compared to the scale of the show. I'm interested in what they're gonna do to make it hold enough people

I created two example layouts.

Grey is currently installed platforms. Yellow are two options based on "three times larger" per Alicia. Red is the under construction seating area.

Personally I think Option 2 seems more likely, though without a gap.

Also, doesn't the seating area construction go all the way to the water? I'm pretty sure they ripped up all the pathways too

I don't see any arched pieces of flooring so I don't know how the'll keep it continuous. And the seating area is just a rough guess to get an idea of viewing area.

I'm guessing option 1. Angle the seating slightly south and everything lines up almost perfectly.
With option 2 it seems like it some sight lines from the seating to ends of the platform could be pretty bad.

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...

The seating area wraps all the way around to near the Simpsons area though, and as of now it looks like people would be looking out into an empty part of the lake if it's not option 2.

You can still have an upcharge dinner package. Just have people have dinner, then they get a reserved spot in the amphitheater or whatever they're building.

Agreed, not getting my hopes up until the final product is revealed, but I much prefer seeing additions/improvements to infrastructure for the show, as opposed to ugly barges just being tossed into the lagoon.

Do we have a timeline of completion for this? I’m visiting in October or September for HHN.
