Originally Posted By Ohana not surprising, but the MFW lights still need more work, they were uncoordinated and off color this weekend. They're on, but they're wrong.

The WoC screens are supplemented with many different special effects. No other show like it!

Originally Posted By mousermerf <<<as opposed to what? a small globe that spins around, is hard to see, and takes up the a huge part of the RoE show?>> There's actually more real estate where you can see the RoE globe then where you can properly see the WoC screens. That people stood in bad places is not something Disney can account for. Not to mention that the globe replaced water mist screens because they were found unsatisfactory for the show. And btw, do these water screens open up like a lotus flower and shoot fireworks? Thought not. <<The WoC screens are supplemented with many different special effects. No other show like it!>>> Fountains and fire.. that's not many. That's two. But let's think.. fountains and fire... fountains and fire... Where have I seen that before? Oh yeah, RoE, which has fewer fountains but a heck of a lot more firepower in the inferno barge - plus the fireworks.
Originally Posted By yamabuki There's more than just fountains and fire. And they're done in a very different way - WoC has more fire than any other Disney show (a fact confirmed by Disney.) Maybe the water screens were deemed unsatisfactory back then because they didn't look as good as they do now. The mist screen tech for WoC is brand new. Let's hope RoE gets some updates soon because it will look very outdated compared to World of Color.
Originally Posted By Dr Hans Reinhardt I think in some respects fireworks are overrated. Yes, I love them, but I think that too often theme parks rely on them to entertain when they aren't really a wow. I'd rather see a dragon spit fire on the Rivers of America than see fireworks above it.

The torches at the Polynesian Resort have had more "fire" cumulatively then all the shows combined, so what's your so-called fact?
