Yes But do I like it? No The tech behind it is very nice it could if worked correctly be "World of Color" on the castle but it's just not there yet. There is ZERO story it's just mixed mashed elements that turn the castle into random images. (vines/on fire/ect) Also the only people who will care (or do I say even want) the guest photos/video on the castle will be those who are in the actual picture or video. It's nice to see happy people but really we only care about our own family being happy at the parks & don't care to see strangers on a park icon. So I say if you get rid of the guest photos/video have a actual story element I would dare say these projections could take place during the actual fireworks & not as a seperate show. Like I said it could be "World of Color" on the castle but now it's just strange happy people distracting my view of the park icon.

The possibilities for using this is limitless - even at the new animation resort. Who's to say random projects don't pop up and get playful with the resort building ?
Originally Posted By Doobie The shows finale has fireworks and it does give the appearance the fireworks are coming from the ground. The projection shows them coming from low on the castle to the top of the castle and then the real firework shooting from the same spot at the exact right time. It is a cool effect. Doobie.

But as this technologies "Coming out party" this is pretty darn good! Looking forward to a Halloween version

Originally Posted By brotherdave I hope so as some structures (i.e., Space Mountain) seem perfect for it, but I also hope they don't necessarily overuse the concept either. Used prudently, it could be a wonderful new entertainment tool for them to use!
