^ Was told by an inside source at around 5:00pm that there would be no testing last night. Looks like he was right. Oh well.
Thanks for the pictures Bob! Why is there swag metal work still being built at the base of one platform and none on the others?
This steel work has now been installed or is in the process of being installed on all of the barges. Not sure if it will be installed on Amity side of last barge.
Teebin's incessant questions...
What are those plastic funnel thingys that appear filled with oil?
Will the funnels be visible above the water all the time?
Anything been modified regarding the projection pods. Are the projector openings still door-less or have automated doors been installed?
While this looks complicated, it still makes one wonder why it has taken so long to install. I assume this was prefabbed; all the lighting ordered?
Per the previous statement, this had better be over the top impressive.
Just to add another question to the mix, where do the majority of the fireworks launch from? Simpsons or Disaster? I guess what I'm trying to figure out is where's the best place to watch the show from. I'm thinking from Central Park but then I wouldn't be able to see the Simpsoms fireworks.
The fireworks are the same from either building, so you are not missing anything wherever you sit. But, from catching a glimpse of the show I think the best place to watch the show is definitely from the Central Park side of the lagoon.
To clarify the question kgri2, does the big finale use both buildings to launch the big bang? See how they did a modest launch from the Simpsons building in tests weeks ago while the disaster building launches the big stuff:
Did the big stuff launch from both buildings when you were there or do you not recall?
That's exactly why I asked the question because from the video it looks as though the finale is not shared by both sides.
From what I saw the fireworks were the same throughout the show. From where I watched I could see the Simpson fireworks, but had to turn my head around to see Disaster's show. During the finale I was trying to take it all in and didn't pay attention to the Disaster side, so I don't know if the fireworks were exactly the same. Sorry.
