The SkyDance-What do YOU want?

[EPCOT Explorer]

Ok,we've all seen the rumors floating around the forums that Reflections of Earth will be preceded by a show rumored to be called IllumiNations:SkyDance.Based on that name alone,what do you want to see in this new show?

I'll go first:The second I heard about it,I've been thinking about what new effects the new show should have.I would like to see annother false "Firefly" ending.Some new fire effects and perimeter and launches from the pavilions would be nice too.Hopefully we would also see the return of some more laser effects like in past editions.As for music,I know nothing can rival ROE but I would like the same feel to it.

Your turn!:wave:

My simple equation for SkyDance awesomeness:

IllumiNations + Shamu = Pure Genius!

Who wouldn't love to have killer whales swimming around World Showcase Lagoon while fireworks go off all around them? :lookaroun

I'd like to see an opening that better unites the countries. While IllumiNations: SkyDance can go all out on fireworks and lasers, I'd love to see a return to an opening similar to the original IllumiNations...where all is dark...the music begins to play...the fountains light up and turn on...and the countries burst into light as the fanfare begins to play and fireworks come on.

 

[EPCOT Explorer]

I don't think WSL has the room for that,Fun2BFree.:lol:

And Expo,yeah,I love the opening ROE has now.(narrator blows out lights/one comet)but the original always seemed so serene.

Lasers every guest can see - like pre RoE, and a pavilion chase like IllumiNations had. Reinstating the pavilion projections would be nice too (especially with how projection tech has improved over 20 years)

Icing on the cake would be refitting - and improving on - the original neon displays to the pavilions hydraulic roof frames too. LED instead of neon perhaps?

Maybe we should remind Sylvania most of the gear they are using was originally spec'ed and fitted out by GE

 

[EPCOT Explorer]

OOOH!Totally forgot about the neon!LED would be better.

What kind of storyline would you want to see?

Yeah... what could possibly go wrong?

 

[Fun2BFree]

Yeah... what could possibly go wrong?

The killer whale nuggets would gracefully Dance in the Sky.

Well, I'm out of ideas... virtual reality?

 

[EPCOT Explorer]

I now officially have no hope in the human race.


:lol:


Anyway,back to IllumiNations.*cough*


:lookaroun

Too funny !

"The blast blasted blubber beyond all believable bounds." I wonder how long it took him to come up with that?!

 

[Sage of Time]

That's just wrong.:dazzle:

Actually,I love ROE,but I do wish that there were more fireworks on the middle section.Hopefully that's something this new one will correct.I think annother inspirational show/message would be good too...not just music from the diff countries.

 

[EPCOT Explorer]

Hey Sage!Glad to see you finally joined!:wave:

I would like a traditional show too,but after ROE it's gonna be hard going back.

Sage, welcome to WDWMagic! Hope you have a great time here! :wave:

I to tend to want to see some time of better effect in the middle.

Maybe a souped up earth-barge (as has been rumored in the past) would make the video section more engaging?

I'm all about the idea of perimeter launches (although it might be an impossibility... part of World showcase is darn-near right up against a highway). Maybe at least a few perimeter ALF launches during the show?

 

[EPCOT Explorer]

They do perimeters for the Tag shows.Why not every night?:shrug:Or a at least launches from the pavilion roofs like in Fantasy Land for Wishes.

Also,I don't know if it's me but does it seem like older firework shows had fireworks that went up higher?

Stop Wasting Gas

I don't care what they do as long as they get rid of that silly fuel burn. This isn't Universal. I always thought it would be cool for them to launch some type of flying paper lantern but alas it would never pass legal. Some type of tinkerbell zip line character entrance may be cool.

Focus: Agree with the return to the countries each being lit individually. I really miss that part.

*gasp!*You don't like the inferno barge?IllumiNations blasphemy!


Meh.To each his own I guess...But PLEASE,PLEASE keep the characters out.This is Epcot.Save that for MK,DHS and AK.

Yeah, and you might not realize how "empty" the show is without the inferno barge... saw it once when the barge was out for rehab following that "incident" a few years back.

 

[EPCOT Explorer]

Yeah,I've seen the vids on youtube.It just looks really strange.Same thing without the Earth Barge.I think that now that Disney has put somehting like this into the shows,they can't take them away.Think of how boring/wierd IllumiNations would be without somehting in the center of the lagoon...It's like Wishes without the castle.

 

[Hurricane]

By way of clarification, I didn't mean a character but some type of mascot (perhaps tomorrow's child?) or icon. Realistically it would be nearly impossible as they would zip line to the center of the lagoon where the fireworks/effects are located.

And yes, I don't like the inferno barge, it's just fire. Really wasteful IMO.

Perhaps Figment could fly in!
