SOoner than I thought. Thanks!Summer 2018
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.
We're expecting the show platforms to only cover half of the lagoon?! That's surprising.

I agree with that big time. The barges really distracted from the overall aesthetic of the park and lagoon area. I'd rather not even have a show then have ugly barges or over sized spheres floating on the lagoon.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.
Yea, the submerged platform alone is a huge improvement. The barges were fugly.I agree with that big time. The barges really distracted from the overall aesthetic of the park and lagoon area. I'd rather not even have a show then have ugly barges or over sized spheres floating on the lagoon.
The show is designed around the viewing angle from Central Park (allegedly). It's not meant to be viewed from elsewhere.
Because a platform that big would be nearly impossible to roll in the park, and would need a crane built inside the park to do it.Anyone know why they would not prefab a platform and drop it in to the lagoon?
By drop I mean gently place
I figured it would be assembled in sections, much like the WoC oneBecause a platform that big would be nearly impossible to roll in the park, and would need a crane built inside the park to do it.
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 don’t understand why viewing would only be from Central and Battery Park.
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.
I don't know how universal gets this show by the summer if we are counting on this being a premier level show. Given the limited level of fireworks they can use I imagine they would have to lean heavily on fountains and projections and large scale fountain installs would prob take longer than this.
