They have always had a difficult time doing a lot of loud pyro at night because they don't have the budget and more importantly the land that Disney does. The original Night time Stunt Spectacular was pretty well received and I recall most people waiting around for it at night. I wish that was the kind of show we were getting again. I just hope this one is not as rushed as 360. We need lazers, projection mapping...and all sorts of creative things that make up for not having firework like pyro in the sky.

That being said I also had a fun thought on what if they try Jaws Ride like Mechanics to happen nightly in the lagoon. A Giant Shark set up in key viewing areas that leap up "Fire you son of a B-" and The sharks just pop out of the water. I know that would create some challenges but would be cool.

Actually the main problem with Pyro at Universal are the neighborhoods behind it. Universal is restricted on how often they can use Fireworks because of these neighborhoods behind them.

Yeap, thats the same reason why the coasters couldn't run past 11pm at night when HHN was in IOA. HRRR doesn't matter since its a silent coaster on purpose, but the others not so much.

This is why a fountain show with fire, and other effects makes perfect sense for UO

I'm thinking we'll see some kind of pyro for the show, but this time we have cool fountains to fill the void in between

I should of been more specific but that was my point about the land that Disney has that they don't.

Well MK has housing right behind them, but because they are grandfathered into their area, and they are governed by Reddy Creek Improvement District they aren't restrained like Universal Orlando is by being governed by Orlando.

exactly. But fireworks do not equal a great nighttime show. I much prefer something original that is not going to end up seasonal under such restrictions. Bring on the stunts/projection mapping/water/whatever else they can make use out of creativity and real estate.

Wow, that is a whole lot of sound for a park that is already wired with tons of it. If this didn't already look like the most expensive lagoon show ever created by Uni, I believe it does now. Let's hope the show 'works'.

They are trying too... but this site has already kicked them so very hard (thanks to bobwadd). Leaving plans out on the deck of a boat in full view... that really makes me giggle at how secretive they think they are. Has the local news grabbed those print photos? If not, anyone have some fun and send them to the general managers to make into a bitty story. They love this filler dirt. I know this first hand.

I could be their super fan... I would be more than happy to make a fool out of myself for Universal.
