My reaction and thoughts? Oh, good God. Speechless. That's utterly fantastic. You want to see how IllumiNations should be plussed and re-orchestrated, and plussed, and brought into it's second decade of shows? THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT. Well done, Tokyo. You continue to impress. (And there's a tiny little shred of me wondering if we just saw a preview of what's to come for RoE if and when it gets its enhancements...)

Originally Posted By brotherdave >>and if you watch the end of these fireworks at Legoland Windsor last year, you may recognise a certain ROE theme<< Our local amusement park as well as the city of Pittsburgh also used this music for fireworks shows a few years ago. I wonder how they're able to do this legally or is it just readily available if ASCAP fees are paid???

LOL >>>and if you watch the end of these fireworks at Legoland Windsor last year, you may recognise a certain ROE theme <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...RJKCLWPQ<<<" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...<<</a> That's pretty weak until about 9:45 when it finally syncs up. Looks like a early Disneyland show when they got the 9-line in. LOL. I might be biased, though... If you use a theme from RoE it should be just as good!
Originally Posted By EPCOT Explorer ***That was nice, but I must confess, I am definately a firework kind of guy. It looked quite dull to me until the countdown*** It needs pyro, I agree. But the lasers? And the lights? And the redone music? RoE needs that.
Originally Posted By EPCOT Explorer >>>I imagine, under Iger's watch, if you can pay for it, you can do it.<<< HAH. It's the new Horizons of the WDC!

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo well bear in mind EE, that firework show was on for 5 days, a one off event really. And a park that is only seasonal. so still pretty impressive stuff.
Originally Posted By EPCOT Explorer Yep.. One wonders how much pyro will be used in Fantasmic. I found the use in BraviSEAmo adequate.
