    I will certainly agree with that! When Act II was starting to wind down, it seems like the show was about over, and everything was getting ready to conclude. Then I looked up and saw a long line of bigger, more elaborate barges coming around the corner full of performers. Even though I'd seen photos of them and knew to expect them, it was completely overwhelming just how big that show became in that moment. Truly incredible

    >>Yves went ballistic when OLC demanded Mickey lead out the show. He wanted an entirely character-free show.<<

    Understandably. He really doesn't fit in the show at all, and just appears to be there for the sake of being there. I will say that he had an impressively huge headdress on (seriously, how was the performer able to move?), but the whole introduction felt very out of place (granted I don't speak Japanese so I have no idea what he said, but I was able to understand the storyline - sex and all - just fine without getting the introduction)

    >>Both are Greenaway classics. The guy just doesn't score enough shows or movies.<<

    Do you know of anything else he's done? The only other credit I can find for him is on the Gladiator soundtrack, but it seems like his primary role was the conductor of the orchestra. That score has hints of his sound, but it appears to have been driven more by Zimmer

    I agree. Although there have been some promising elements using the fountain themselves in creative ways, it seems like all of the updates, tags, and seasonal shows they've done have relied on the screens even more heavily than the original show. I hope that the new Celebrate show goes back to using the fountains to tell the story, but it sounds like we'll have a lot of projected images instead

    Hmmmmm???

    A bonafide "E" no doubt but it lacks something huge for a headling AA based ride. What is there is outstanding but Mystic Manor does not have a key feature/element found in other super headlining rides with AA's like Indiana Jones, Pirates, Haunted Mansion/Phantom Manor, Everest, Journey to Center of Earth, Hightower Hotel, Splash Mountains, Thunder Mountains or Radiator Springs Racers.
