I wish they would change up this formula but guests seem to still enjoy it.
Originally Posted By SuperDry Thanks all for the story, pics, and video. It looks like a great show. I tried to see it one night, but didn't win the lottery. It certainly does seem to borrow quite a bite from Fantasmic!, in terms of story, music, and effects. At first I thought that this would appear as just a knockoff, until I remembered that the vast majority of guests have probably never seen F!, so it's all new to them.

I still shudder at the thought of that awful Bonfire Dance show at TDS. We had a great spot on the premiere night but the new expanded lottery seating area will make it very hard for losers (in the lottery sense only!) to see these shows which is a mistake IMO.
