Disneyland Fireworks are Bad and Evil claims a news article

[Darkbeer1]

Mentioned this quickly in the Parking Structure/4th Hotel discussion/updates thread.

But a "news organization" that is nationwide but is treated as a local source, you find the Disney is Evil theme, along with others like the OC Weekly and Orange Juice Blog we get this...

Every single person I ran into throughout my neighborhood walk along West Vermont Avenue in Anaheim, near the intersection of Ball Road and Harbor Boulevard, told me that the Disneyland fireworks shows are a constant irritant.


In fact, the complaints were eerily similar to what Kring said about the Fourth of July incidents.


Numerous people told me their dogs regularly go crazy when the nightly bombardment from the Magic Kingdom starts.


Others told me the fireworks wake up babies and make it tough to get toddlers to sleep.


Windows rattle and family frames on walls move around on a regular basis.


Yet it’s tough to get a really good sense of the impact — until you stand on a nearby residential balcony nearby when the Disney fireworks show goes off.<<

Much more at the link.

Sounds like these people shouldn't have moved so close to an entertainment venue that's been famously shooting off fireworks regularly for about 60 years.

Unless they owned their home prior to 1955 they probably don't have a leg to stand on. I bet they all love what living near such a big entertainment destination has done for their home values though.

This^^^

We have a small airport in the middle of what is now a residential area here in Jacksonville that has been there I think since about a year after the Wright Brothers had their first flight(I know it had been open since at least the 1940's) and people complain about it endlessly.

 

[Kram Sacul]

These people don’t deserve to live next to Disneyland.

 

[Model3 McQueen]

Must be awful living next to one of the best theme parks in the world. I send My sincere condolences to these poor residents.

 

[Phroobar]

Typical good is evil and evil is good tactics.

Anaheim would be Santa Ana without Disneyland.

But But But, then I won't be able to horde it over my friends that I can walk to Disneyland anytime I want......

 

[Hatbox Ghostbuster]

If they're referring to the Pixar Fest show, then yes, I agree. Can't wait for that to be over.

Must be something to it because 2 local raceways in norcal were forced to close due to locals complaints after developers decided to put houses close to the race tracks.

Yes, but local raceways also don't have a multi-Million dollar legal team to fight things like this.

I moved to Gilroy, and I'm allergic to garlic! Close down the farms!

Curious - does Disney have a way of measuring the amount of income / attendance the fireworks show brings in? I believe it would in some ways make the big suits happy knowing they're saving 10's of thousands of dollars on fireworks every night, because the whiny locals complained. It gives them an excuse.

I just moved near Fisherman's Wharf and the sea lions smell bad! I'm suing everybody!

Those sea lions have some good lawyers though.

 

[EvilChameleon]

Disneyland already doesn't do them for 95% of the year, so...

I remember hearing it was a million per show. I could be completely wrong.
