Originally Posted By FerretAfros I'm glad to hear that. I think the holiday show was designed to be seen from more places, and ROA always seems like a great place for that kind of stuff. Now that they're going back to Remember for a while, unless they change parts of the show, I think it might be hard to see a lot of what is going on. It would be great if they added more stuff on the island to keep the energy going while there is stuff in the hub. That area has a lot of potential, if they use more of the effects that are already there (fountains, lights, strobes, fire on water?). Hopefully they can expand the show to include more stuff for different areas of the park.

Originally Posted By nemopoppins I think Remember is very enjoyable from ROA also. The crowd is not as cut-throat as in front of the castle and it's pretty easy to get a good spot from all those leaving after Fantasmic. In some spots, you can see a lot of the castle and most of the castle firework components. My favorite place for any of the fireworks shows is by IASW, however.

Originally Posted By SuzieQ *sigh* I remember the days before Small World Mall was known for fireworks. We used to sit down right at the crest of the hill before it dropped to ToonTown. We'd lay back with our heads on our jackets as the fireworks exploded right overhead. You could literally feel them explode
Originally Posted By nemopoppins When we were there late November/early December the fireworks only showed on one of our five nights due to wind. The Small World area was roped off on that night because of wind so we watched from that seating penninsula where the motorboats used to be. That still wasn't crowded. SuzieQ, I do hope our IASW area will be less crowded during the rest of the year, but no matter what, I'll put up with the crowds because I have a need to be very close to the fireworks.
Originally Posted By friendofdd In the old days before Toontown, the fireworks were launched from that area. It was exciting to stand near the train station during the fireworks. They were literally just the other side of the berm. The booms were deafening and every bit of your body vibrated with each concussion.
