This happened at Epcot back when it was perfect…

They're laughing at it, not with it.

It’s like how we laugh at Goofy experiencing bodily harm. Does that mean we need to cancel Goofy?
Better late to the party than never. Welcome.
I thought the age of Golden EPCOT was when there was a complete lack of Mickey? This is Mickey on LSDisney.

I still cannot believe that the show is this bad and it's still going. 
The level of second-hand embarrassment I experience watching that footage.....

It is established fact current Disney management will go ahead and present at nauseam what ever (regardless how bad) is green lighted simply to show they can. A rather arrogant attitude. When there is a loss of revenue due to a bad decision then there is movement to correct / upgrade and change.

This is the highest profile show in Animal Kingdom.
I enjoy the spontaneity and even stupidity of it, but it’s misleading to talk about it as a little, added-value show when entertainment property-wide has been cut to the bone.

For the love of God, stop basing your opinion off of footage and see it in person. It’s still going because it’s a fun, well-received little addition by most of those going to see it in person. If you see it LIVE and still don’t like it that’s fine. It’s your prerogative. But don’t just base opinion off of random Facebook videos and tiktoks..I still cannot believe that the show is this bad and it's still going.

The latest “solution” to guests thinking the kites landing is an accident is a brief sound effect playing as the kites land, which is interesting in theory.
Reports say that the sound effects are thematically inconsistent, and usually a few seconds off time with the kite’s actually landing.

Is this unexpected? It just adds to the greatness of the fail. I really can't wait to see this! It is a cult classic already.

The second one sounds like one of the ones described to me. I was told a spring sound, splash, and pluck were among sounds used.

This show is amazing. It truly captures the spirit of modern Disney management.

That is hilarious! They should have the characters screaming as they hurtle toward the stands!
And the CMs screaming, too.
Don't forget some fake-blood squibs exploding.
And fire FX.
Kind of genius if not a bit bassackwards. Seems odd to call attention to it but the theory does have some merrit. I do wonder if they can succesfully spin a negative into a positive with that addition. Doubtful but I guess we'll see soon enough.
Better yet, instead of sound effects being played over the speakers why not engage with the audience by having spectators make sound effects? Team Whistle vs Team Splat? Or pull audience members from the stands and have them do a drum roll prior to the sound effect. Anything to make the show more interactive amirite?
Can't believe I'm trying to help Disney save face on this hillariously "bad show"

Was this ever verified or is it a different company?I'm guessing this will be a project for Kiteman - the same company that performed the EPCOT Forever kites.
