Universal's Cinematic Celebration Night Show

[violarum]

I just want more fountainsss. Maybe even a fireball effect.

EDIT: Or what she said. ^

 

[shiekra38]

It would be cool if they did something like Rivers of Light, with traveling fountain effects and such

 

[Teebin]

The lagoon is already a very long, odd shape... what would they need to expand it for?

To make it more open and in-the-round... thatiswhy.

Like Comcast couldn't spend 100m To do a fountain show... They'd probably find a way to do it much more inexpensively too.

You can't compare Comcast to a company that plans to take over 3 years to build a clone of a ride with insane budgets that an of already exists in Shanghai. I'm always befuddled by Disney construction timelines and overall costs. Complete, fairly well themed, park are built from the ground up quicker than a Disney Coaster. It took Efteling and Phantasialand a little over a year to build their last two, highly themed major coasters. Look at what Mack is building, a very detailed, themed resort with water park in two years. And...Tron will take 3 years?

I think we both want the same thing, just confusing it. I said I want it more in the round as well.

To accomplish this, yes, they can use a slice of Central park land, but like I said, I think part need to be filled in as well. You can't really just do one, it has to be both to get the desire result imo.

It will never happen because it's over a populated area but I'd love to see a night time drone show.


Maybe in the 3rd park.

I mean, they did it at Disney Springs. Granted, the lake there is far bigger than USF. Could work at IOA, though.

Disney Springs is pretty 1 dimensional in terms of the viewing angle. A drone show with guests viewing from around a lake poses a lot of challenges. The only way I think this would work would be to for the drones to go straight up and paint the sky.

I mean, I wouldn't count it out

As an addendum:

“There might be an asterisk in the record book, however: The show didn’t actually take place at today’s opening ceremony for the PyeongChang Olympics in South Korea. Instead, it was pre-recorded last December for broadcast during the event.”

I can tell you they're looking into drones for other uses. So it' ppossible. But I can see this as something else the neighbors would push back hard against.

In an interesting light from ORLParkPass's photo update, the barge's are seeming to be stripped of their theming, slowly but surely.

Why? Because of the noise?

That, and they'd probably also argue about the lights/effects depending on the show height or path.

I can see it now...

"WESH CHANNEL 2 NEWS AT 6. Raining robots? Home owners around Universal are complaining about drones crashing into their homes and cars."

Not to mention, remember when someone found a large empty field that contained the hundreds of drones for the Disney Springs show? UOR doesn't have a spot like that.

They do have the top of buildings though. You could set them on MIB’s food. Just close MIB and the path in front of it during that part of the show, or place a net or glass roof above the front of MIB after the sun goes down for the show.

From Elvey, the first barge has left the lagoon.
