    Fantasmic Reopening Watch

    This was originally part of the reopening project, but was cut due to the budget being redirected to the many unplanned and costly repairs that were made to the show infrastructure. I'd love to see articulated fountain heads added in a future update. That said, I still think the upgrades they...

    Disneyland Fantasmic Dragon Engulfed in Flames

    You are 100% correct. There was clearly a need to immediately evacuate the island, which they appear to have done. I'm not sure what the benefits would have been for a more rapid guest evacuation.The smoke appears to have been at a distance and mostly traveling straight up. While there likely...

    Yeah. That's what I was referring to. I didnt realize they were already back in show

    Damn... I missed that. Glad to see they got it fixed before the downtime.

    Fantasmic Reopening Watch

    How interesting... between a Dragon with lockjaw and stunt trampolines that have been out of use for weeks or months, one can't help but wonder what specifically the crane is there to assist with.

    Disneyland Fantasmic Dragon Engulfed in Flames

    Reading through this thread, there is clearly a lot of misconception about how a fire like this is contained. Disneyland clearly had an effective plan in place which was to control, but not extinguish the fire. This was evidenced by the short burn time (15 min is short) and the isolation of the...

    It's the same thing as a grease fire in your kitchen. You NEVER douse it with water. Either use a kitchen-grade fire extinguisher or baking soda. Splashing it with water would only cause it to jump and spread.

    Fantasmic Reopening Watch

    There's SO many things it could have been. Problems with the dragon is most likely. Problems with the Maleficent lift is also possible. Then there's a myriad of things that could be happening backstage.

    Honestly, they did. The setbacks were somewhat devastating at times. It actually has less to with the appearance of the performer and more to do with the weight of the scepter that Maleficent waves around. However, your information was correct (not just gossip) as of 2020. It was not confirmed...

    Fantasmic Reopening Watch

    Haha! Unfortunately, it ended up taking an unexpectedly long time to get the show systems back online and not for lack of trying. They originally hoped to announce the simultaneous openings of Fantasmic! East and West, but unfortunately that was not to be. A small cast has been selected to...

    News Walt Disney World's Character meet locations to reopen along with more shows and entertainment

    Don't worry. I'm not testing you. I'm just curious what you've heard. Sounds like you know most of what to expect. There should be another minor float not returning as well.

    News Walt Disney World's Character meet locations to reopen along with more shows and entertainment

    Not sure exactly what you count as dancers, but have you heard that dancers are coming back in FoF? Also, I would like to point out that Merida was added to Adventure Friends Cavalcade.

    News Walt Disney World's Character meet locations to reopen along with more shows and entertainment

    Yeah... about that... Be prepared for lots of cuts and no partnering whatsoever. The double standards abound right now. Just go in expecting a really long cavalcade.

    Voyage of the Little Mermaid is done, won't reopen with the parks.

    Where did you hear this? It only requires 1 equity Performer and 9 character performers. It's significantly cheaper to run per show than B&B and is more valuable to operations because it can run continuously. The ONLY reason it is still in limbo is because it is impossible to do a distanced...

    Social distanced Fantasmic coming by February.

    There are no trampoline walls in their act. Just flat trampolines. Regardless, their act doesn't fall under stunt actors. It falls under gymasts.

    Social distanced Fantasmic coming by February.

    Not sure what that proves this early in development. The show is not done yet. There could still be set pieces we don't know about. I don't remember any trampoline walls in their stunts, but... maybe? They've just never advertised it that way in the past.

    Social distanced Fantasmic coming by February.

    @SplashZander & @mm52200 Not entirely. They have to cast the contracted stunt performers. Anyone remember those casting calls that went out for stunt performers with trampoline wall experience? Anyone else wonder where there was a show with trampoline wall stunts?

    Social distanced Fantasmic coming by February.

    Everest will likely never have a moving Yeti. Until it gets to the point where they are forced to rebuild portions of the mountain, I doubt they will ever consider replacing it. This is the first "significant" downtime the ride has had since it first opened and it was largely forced so that...
