Back When It Was MGM

I believe you are thinking of Fantasmic?

Would that be Fantasmic?

No, Sorcery in the Sky. Ground breaking and arguably one of the best regular firework shows on property.

I never saw that...

I never saw that...

You really missed out. First show to have in-park rooftop launchers. First with digital stereo sound. Inflatable Mickey was something else.

So sorry it lost the MGM name. Much more "entertainment" back then.

Yep..That would be Sorcery in the Sky..

Can you even believe that Ace Ventura was also at the Studios as well in the mid 90's.....It Happened..

Am I the only one who loves this!!! I just watched the whole thing. That is the classic live performance cheese that I used to love!

Still waiting patiently for OP to find that picture.

Me too! Wait, that's me. I know exactly where it is but at the moment, it is buried under 2 ft a snow. I will shovel it out some time today ; ) Sorry about that!

I remembered the old Sorcery in the Sky Fireworks at Disney-MGM Studios. I remembered first seeing them in summer of 1991 on my first trip ever to WDW.

This is what I remember. But there was a Mickey, I swear on it, before Fantasmic was ever built.

I also miss the view of the Theater, and the people dressed up like famous people wandering around. I also mis the backlot tour, when it was really good. Today it is a hollow shell of itself.

Here is that pic! I'm the short girl in the middle. Sorry about the bad exposure on the theater. But behold: The good ol' days.

That's the good old days alright.

There are a few good pics swimming around google..

I would love to Know when they had an Omnibus driving around the studios like this...

And here's one where The Hat stands.....I find it oddly strange that The BAH sits right on top of the Largest Hidden Mickeys Nose...

 

[BiffyClyro]

I still call it MGM. I don't mind the hat. It's become an icon for the park. Never bothered me.

 

[Victor Kelly]

The good old days for sure. I do not mind the hat except that it makes pics of the theater impossible. And it does clog the area up a bit.

 

[MKforReal]

I don't exactly mind the hat. I just love the theater view better. Maybe they coyld have just put the hat somewhere else...

Google map it. You can barely even make out the hidden Mickey anymore. A real shame.

"Artoo, where are you? We need you at the bunker right away!"

The facade seen to the left of this photo is visible to this day, peeking out from behind the Tatooine building.

Certainly is!

Oh I am sure that would have been fantastic!! Would have made everyone's money disappear? That was so corny wow.

Yeah, but then WDW realized they could do that without any magician's help!
