I think that's an incredibly negative and dismissive attitude towards this. Just because we're seeing a layout with screens and fountains doesn't mean this is a WoC "clone". World of Color wasn't the first theme park fountain and projection show, even at Disney... There are shows all over the world before WoC and after. To immediately dismiss this because it's looking similar in show hardware is like saying every painting is the same because it uses paint and canvas.
The content, music, style of show are all going to play a part in what this becomes and how ambitious it is. If it's good why does it matter? The content alone can still be ambitions.
And let's face it, already this is looking way bigger than anything Universal has done show-wise. We have all been asking for a better nighttime offering and it looks like they're finally answering that with something that is pretty substantial. So we should be applauding and celebrating that. Someone greenlit money for something here in the park that is purely to make the end of your experience better. You can't market or monetize it like an attraction, so I'm sure from a financial standpoint these shows are hard to justify... Especially at Universal. So for them to invest like this I think is pretty amazing.
So yes, they have fountains and projections and fireworks and drones like other shows, but I'm very happy and going to be supportive of their decision to do this. Everyone in the know is saying this show is going to be different and good and I'm going to trust them until opening day when I can see for myself. So don't be bummed, be excited! This thing has the potential to.... finally..... be a world class and stellar nighttime show at Universal, fountains or otherwise!
