Retooling the show to be more modern, and use more effects would have it retain it's story, while making it a better show.

Originally Posted By WDW Imagineer ^ya thats more or less what i pictured. especially something called "chase flames" that do just that to each other. but idk, i really like what they have in place now
Originally Posted By EPCOT Explorer Right, what's what they have in WoC. Put those near the shoreline, like where they have the Perimeter launches, and you are golden.

Of course, I've also seen the show live like 50 times so I may be slightly biased when it comes to changing it
