The site will be continually updated ahead of the July 14 launch.

Originally Posted By TDLFAN I am sure Steven is very talented. But he made us laugh! he is so out there.. However... one thing I wonder... amidts all the grandeur and splendor he explains about Legend of Mythica.. did he ever take in concideration the weather conditions around TDR, such as winds and the like? Seems to me this show will be highly impacted by such problems due to it's high reaching props and spectacular puppetry.... I get the feeling we'll be hearing the dreaded "This show was presented in an alternate version" announcement we hear so often on TDS' lagoon shows.
Originally Posted By leemac <<did he ever take in concideration the weather conditions around TDR, such as winds and the like?>> I can answer that one! Yes he did. Over 90% can be presented as they don't rely on the jetskis and kites as much as Porto Paradiso did. The pyro, fountains, lifts etc. can all work in windy conditions. The puppetry isn't a problem either as Michael Curry has built them with the weather in mind.

Then again - his enthusiasm for the product has made me really look forward to this.

Wow, I'm shocked, you actually looked at the photos!! I like the look of the Dragon barge. I certainly can't wait to see video of the show, as I'll not be able to see it in person. At least the score is being released this summer!!

That's about as likely as a gay Imagineer ... not that there's anything wrong with that. FWIW, Davison is one of the truly talented guys at Disney these days. I can't think of one thing he's been behind that hasn't been very good or great. He knows his stuff! And it excites him
Originally Posted By leemac <<Herm, Curry designs, however they were not built by him.>> Okay. Michael Curry designed and supervised their construction. Splitting hairs really. The AAs in the show were also built by the same guy that built the Jack Skellington for HMH.

How would I describe it? Perhaps as "generic grandeur." Of course I will withhold judgement on the entire score and the show until I have a chance to see it.

I wish he applied that same energy into bringing spectacles of this magnitude to the US parks. >>Must be a slow day for me.... << Admit it Lee. You always look at my pictures, even if its only a quick peek.

I have seen a few recorded presentations Steve has given for some of his US projects, and he never ceases to apply his trademark energy and personality. He truly does apply it to everything he does.

But he does! Did you see his presentation for "Remember...Dreams Come True"? He was all over the place on that one, and VERY excited about it. Plus it turned out pretty much exactly as he described it, which was nice. He's had some pretty big successes here in the US. The only one I'd say was sort of "eh" was Wishes.
