Exactly. My parents used to live near a fairground that had several large fireworks displays each year until some judge ordered them to stop because of noise concerns. The redesigned show that they did after sorting things out with the neighbors was much quieter (more "pops" and "thuds" instead of ground-shaking "booms"), but no less spectacular (or so I was told anyway).
It would be hard to keep track of, ecspecially when only a rumor. For all Disney would know a person online made a lucky guess and was right. And if the person that posted it was told the rumor/fact from the ex-employee in person and then had it posted online, then it would be nearly impossible to track the person down as they would need to find a way to gain access to this site to find out the IP address. Then find and contact the poster in person and that person wouldn't have to tell Disney anything as Disney couldn't easily legally force them to tell as it wouldn't be government info leaked and the person could claim that they guessed that it might be something that will happen in Disney and have been lucky and have guessed correctly.That's kinda hard to keep track of even for a company as large as Disney.
I'll be brief:
Because it would interfere with animal welfare, there will NEVER be fireworks at DAK.
thank you, come again.
For the record... It only existed on the drawing board... concepts... and shelfed..For the record; Beastly Kingdom(me) was fact. Not rumour. It wasn`t built, and is very unlikely ever to be in any form resembling the original ideas.
Lucky isn't going anywhere...Anyone know where Lucky the Dinosaur as been visiting lately? Or if/when he'll be back to AK? I was amazed when I saw him on the Travel Channel WDW special.
I spoke that bus driver too... Just before they took him to the "funny farm" :lookarounI heard from a bus driver there will be a 'Longhorn Country' with Texas Longhorns, Javelina that rush the Safari trucks, and grackles.
From what I have heard from a TV Program later last year (I forget what channel) Lucky was only an experiment for future technology. They said that he was only temporary but was a success for the experiment and future Disney technologyLucky isn't going anywhere...
He's still at R&D in Glendale, Ca. in pieces... for research reasons...![]()

The most memorable quote of the day! :ROFLOL:I spoke that bus driver too... Just before they took him to the "funny farm" :lookaroun
You can go ahead and close this Thread for a couple of years, because the future aint too bright in the Animal Kingdom.
I do remember pictures somewhere about small, ground level fireworks for press events. As much as I would like a firework show or some type of night-time show, it probably wouldn't happen primarily on the ALF system (or is it AFL, air launched firing or air fired launch?). This procedure that you are talking about with fireworks does reduce the sound level somewhat, but it does not eliminate the loudest part of a firework which is the in air explosion. You are thinking of the initial blast of Illuminations where the launch of the red firework is not seen or heard. Although Disneyland uses this system to reduce sound, it only reduced it slightly and was put into place after numerous complaints by people that lived close to Dineyland. The loudest part of the show is still remaining. This system was disigned more in the idea of a cool, more realistic effect than being designed to reduce sound. And this system is not capable of firing ground level blasts as these shots like the ones from press events explode the second that they leave the motar tube. But because they do not go extremely high into the air and becasue they would probably be over water (if the show were to take place over Discovery Bay like I said in an earlier post) then the shots would not pose any physical harm to the animals. So I have to agree with you that Animal Kingdom does need a night-time outdoor concluding show and that it would probably involve fireworks and if the management wanted this then they would take the steps to making the show safe for the animals' welfare (by means of soundproofing and other ways). I still think that the show should take place over Discovery Bay where there is no animals that would be in the immediate vicinity.I am pretty sure there have been ground-level fireworks at the AK for press events. And I reiterate that there are means to launch spectacular aerial fireworks visible from the Animal Kingdom that the animals would barely or not all all perceive if the company wanted to do so.

And I do believe that the future might be quiet in the immeditate future, but that it only after th $100,000,000 project that was just completed in the park (Expedition Everest). This was the single biggest price tag for a single attraction for this park since it opened in the late '90s. As soon as the park's funding grows, we can expect to see many new things (though probably not the original Beastly Kingdom plan as the ideas and plans have grown old).You can go ahead and close this Thread for a couple of years, because the future aint too bright in the Animal Kingdom.
