I would assume that's standard procedure for all the shows, but it's usually not an issue, since they usually start much later. Sorry I don't know about the other areas though...

Not just paper (but there was plenty of it), the shells are in-cased within plastic, and are about the size of a cantaloupe. The explode in pretty big pieces so it doesn't rain down little shards of plastic everywhere. But It does drop huge pieces of thick plastic from the sky. We took shelter in the next level down LOL.. It was a magical/London bombing blitz experience. This was back in days before the new technology (before 2004), I dont know how it is now.. But that was so cool! P.S. Of Course I would never do anything like that now ( eh hem..)

Also, the Inn Between is open and not off limits. Although several times I have been at the Inn Between during the fireworks and jump from the loud noise the rooftop pyros make....Also, the Main St East break area if off limits.
