Frustrating for me though. We arrive 10pm on the 28th and the schedule doesn't go past that date... yet. :ugh:

Do we know how long the run-time will be? Every 20 minutes is more than I expected.

The literal meaning of speculating is discussion of something you don't know hard facts on lol. Based on bio's recent photos looks like there's no drones.

Let me rephrase, we can’t speculate on why something was cut when we do not know if it’s even been cut.

We can put together what we know to form a theory. Hollywood was visibly testing drones for weeks leading to the debut of Dark Arts. If there has been no visible drone testing, nor permits filed for testing or performance use, and no drone landing pads seen on or anywhere near Hogwarts from the recent aerial photos. We can safely assume that there won't be any, at least not during Halloween this year.

There are no drones but there is a ton of pyro added. From what I understand they have issues using a lot of pyro in Hollywood on school nights so the drones were added. There may be some pyro for the Death Eater thing also.

Please tell me they're going to keep all this

Also, I love the idea of some spooky stuff at IOA for Halloween

More Marvel villians, Death Eaters, Halloween decorations in Suess, candy stops, etc

The whole thing is very cool. Projection show is no match to its Hollywood counterpart, but the live actors are awesome.

I haven’t watched any videos yet, but the lack of drones is really disappointing to hear. The patronus I’ve seen are really something stunning, and what I was most excited about.

Still excited for the atmosphere when I see it this week

I don’t get this- so the show is these guys show up in fog and green light and basically walk around, then they leave?

That’s all I saw in the video. What am I missing about this?

It's added entertainment, something a novelty nowadays in Orlando. It's a prelude to the castle show to get people in the mood.

No, that's not the full show. Eventually after scouring the crowd they find the wizard they were looking for and try to apprehend them. Then a wizard battle happens with more pyro and the wizard runs away with the death eaters in hot persuit. While yes, this is an atmosphere/meet and greet addition, the production is really cool.

Skip to the end of the linked video above. It has that finale segment, it’s short and just kind of happens out of the blue

They really should consider adding something in the show to replace the drones, like some fireworks. You have all these little particles flying up into the air (projected on the castle) then nothing appears in the air. In Hollywood it made my jaw drop~ in Orlando not so much.

They’ll probably have to add some signs outside of Hogsmeade informing guests about the actors because I saw kids run like hell once they caught a glimpse of the death eaters:lol:

Agreed, that drone moment is stunning!
