IOA nighttime show

[TTA94]

I think last year there was a rumor of IOA getting a nighttime lagoon show... Is that still in the works?

I thought it was going to be this summer, but not too sure.

 

[TTA94]

Any idea what kind of show it was going to be? Fountains? Fireworks?

IDK I was guessing something similar to Cinematic Spectacular, but bigger

From the high in the sky train it looked like there was some construction in the lagoon. Hard to tell though.

Friday they were working on the Bilge Rat Barge ride and Hulk which both extend into the water but nothing else I saw.

It was in the direction of the hulk. I hadn't thought much of it, but later wondered. Maybe just stuff for the hulk. I thought it extended pretty far into the water, but without the hulk track it is hard to tell.

I'd like to see IOA take on a major nighttime show with fountains like World of Color, but bigger, PLUS fireworks WDW doesn't plan on doing it so why not Universal?

I also think Universal should do a light parade. They have already done this at Universal Studios Japan called Magical Starlight.

IOA doesn't have enough room for a parade, but studios does. And this showed up briefly on the Universal Orlando Blog (and quickly taken down since I think it was put up prematurely with a placeholder photo from Japan.

If that verifies that's a cools tealth project for the studios, a nighttime parade like Magical Starlight is sorely needed there (especially to balance out the adds of Kong/new Hulk)

Oh yay, we're possibly getting Japan's hand-me-downs, featuring characters that aren't even in our park.

Seems like we would have heard something already if this were true? I think it could be a mix up and USJ is updating the parade for their Anniversary?

 

[TTA94]

This would definitely ruffle WDWs feathers.

If it comes here it will be significantly different from Japan's...since the park doesn't have the rights to many of the properties in the parade.

Could be a cool addition if done right. I'd hope they would add a night show to IOA soon after.
