[gerarar]

Last night some of the comets on the finale rising barge were loaded incorrectly, making for some cool color combinations during the reveal.

The warm white and greens were swapped.

As Bob Ross would say: a happy accident

If one were to want to record audio for Luminous lol where might be a good spot? Is there any speakers that are away from the crowds? Or does the audio pipe in to any indoor area?

I haven't seen Luminous from the observation platform on the Swan's Reserve. But the fireworks audio use to be wired in over there. I have no idea if that's true for this show. But that's where I'd start.

They aren’t super off centered. And SBC is more wide than tall so it helps with the asthetic. It also allows you to line up at the top of the hub and a great view of the projections and the fireworks.

I find them hilariously off center. Almost 2019 "jingle bell, jingle bam" off center

During the opening welcome segment, are they actually using an African language between Germany and China representing the outpost? I know I have heard a voice between those two as it goes around,,,but....just something that sticks out to me. Odd since they never have before.

Yes, I believe so.

Yes, it's Swahili.

It’s the Swahili word karibu apparently. Here’s the full script:

I have some knowledge of Arabic, and it turns out that karibu derives from the Arabic qarib, which means “nearby”. That’s a very fitting etymology for such a word.

I want drones in a future Epcot show so bad. DLP has pyro, i repeat, PYRO firing off of their drones

Is it bad that I'd want this as a new Electrical Water Pageant more than anything?

I'm sorry. We've been told by expert opinions that drone shows are beneath the standard of Disney parks.

It would make the most sense to do a show like this in the lagoon at the Animal Kingdom, with boats/rafts/whatever adding additional elements on the water.

They need a night show at DAK and they need to put something in that amphitheater space, and since they can't use fireworks there it's a perfect fit.

 

[EvilChameleon]

That looks nice, but does it look like that from all angles? Probably not.

Bingo and something that could be performed more than once nightly since the theater can only hold so many

Bingo. Those drones at DLP are probably 1/4 mile from the castle. Not sure they look great in a lagoon a few hundred feet away and viewed from the side.

 

[Touchdown]

The drones should be used at AK, DHS, and Universal, ie the parks where it’s not possible to have high level fireworks.

That's the thing. drones work best when in a situation where the audience is focused looking from one direction. For a show "in the round" like at Epcot, they probably aren't the ideal element to use. But they would be a good fit for a new nighttime show at DAK where the audience is seated in an amphitheater and all looking the same general direction.
