When it is all said in done the DCA lagoon show (World of Color, not Wonderful World of Color as some have stated) will be the most advance show of its kind in the world and will utilize more computer brain power than any show that Disney has at any of its properties. It will feature 1,200 nozzles (various types of nozzles with some on robitic arms), fire effects, and projection systems. LED lighting on each individual nozzle with the capability of controlling each LED lighting unit on each of the 1,200 nozzles independently of each other. This will be an amazing show." It sounds very exciting I just hope its all true.

Originally Posted By Inspector 57 Well, THAT's a bit more substantial than the original post. Thank you, Spirit. <<Hopefully, you'll enjoy it!>> If it's not comprised totally of Princesses or rehashed "Remember / Treasure / Magic / Memories" blandness, I'm sure I will!

I kept my mouth shut. But I couldn't help but smile. Shortly after, they left for their hotel room, presumably to make the beast with two backs.

Originally Posted By oc_dean I think it should be called ... Wonderful World of Color ... As a homage to the 60s NBC show ... Even have the same similar opening .. with the same music .. to really "set the stage"!!!!! What better way to help this crappy park gain a better reputation .. that to be named after a very enduring tv show that Walt himself introduced each week?! I REALLY hope they consider that!!
Originally Posted By leemac ^^ The current show script called for the project to open with the old WWOC opening titles. It has a great WOW! factor. The fountains are being developed by WET Designs who are the leading designers of fountains (like those at the Bellagio and Disney have used them before for the dancing fountains at WDW).

Sounds cool for what? I just hope this won't be another 19 Million dollars down the drain show like Light Tragic!

The smoke issues, fortunately didn't affect us the two times we saw it, but live and learn and make the next one better. I'm surprised it has taken them 7 years to approach the night time entertainment issue. Are they still draggin' the MSEP through the park?

Many of the upper management are also making the mistake of calling it "Wonderful World of Color" and if they are making that kind of mistake, then who knows. However, the plans sound great no matter what the name is. What I haven't hear is about plans to add more room for viewing.
