The issue is noise and fallout. Drones don’t really solve either of those problems. It would really be up to the type of product used.Drones with pyro on them, such as DLPs, could work at DAK, right? Isn't the issue with Pyro the noise? So if drones could work, why not the new drone-based pyro?

And they just drone on and on and on…Drones are quite loud.
I think we are about to see a resurgence in WDW entertainment, and drones will be a part of it. There are quite a few operational challenges, so it will be interesting to see how they move forward, but things are certainly heading in the right direction.This is really interesting because I know you were talking about how new entertainment additions were being greenlit very recently and you somewhat hinted at possible additions to Luminous over at Epcot. Could the drone test have anything to do with these things? @wdwmagic
Do you think it will be on the scale of pre-pandemic offerings? I know live entertainment, shows, and performers aren't cheap, but they add capacity very quickly, especially in parks which have become gridlocked due to G+/ILL.I think we are about to see a resurgence in WDW entertainment, and drones will be a part of it.

Don't forget how the one piece of publicly released Harmonious concept art had many flat barges placed close to land where no other pyro barge were ever placed...I really wanted to see drones at EPCOT. Using barges in the lake they'd never need to fly anywhere near guests. Similar could be done safely at AK although drones without some pyro may get tired quickly, but I guess it'd be better than nothing.
You should have been at the Jungle Cruise.And they just drone on and on and on…

Drones is also for a company to cut costs using the drones to do exterior building inspections etc. It eliminates the human element. It is just not for shows. Drones come to work, don’t call sick, question authority , ask for a raise or get hurt on the job. Those workers comp injuries by staff can run into millions of dollars to include rehab and hospital costs.I think drones would actually be a fun addition to night entertainment. Not sure why it seems people are against it? As long as not replacing anything.

I think drones fall into the same category of projection mapping for a lot of people. When its new, its a wow moment, but over time, they are all start to look the same, and there is a case of "seen that all before."I think drones would actually be a fun addition to night entertainment.

Fireworks uses more cast member labor, product , storage , etc. Drones is also cost savings for the company.I think drones fall into the same category of projection mapping for a lot of people.

Like projection mapping, there is also the risk of using them as a crutch and cheaper way of reducing physical effects, like Castle Dreamights, or fireworks.
You take my jokes for granite and I know you’d say you mist me if I went over Schweitzer Falls.You should have been at the Jungle Cruise.
