Fantasmic! 2.0 Rumors, Speculation, Announcments

Since Fantasmic is down for refurbishment, do you think we will see some more updates and changes to the show or will it be just to fix it up? In my personal opinion, the show is fantastic and I love it, although there is one scene that I feel doesn't belong and feels out of place and that is Pirates of the Caribbean. As much as I enjoy the films, I feel that it did not belong. Shame it replaced the Peter Pan scene. That was one of my favorite parts of the show. Do you think that Disney will eventually bring back that Peter Pan segment into the show?

No problem!

Shame how even there's been negative feedback about Pirates being in Fantasmic, they aren't planning on changing it back to Peter Pan all because they really like what they created. Peter Pan is a more iconic memoriable than Pirates. Hopefully some day, they will learn from this mistake.

You might have seen in the other threads across the board that I got to speak with a Lighting Designer/Director that has created MANY shows here at the DL resort. He said that Mickey's Mix Magic and the Fantasmic! Pirate Scene were the hardest to bring to life. He said that Disney has trained all 45 pathways of the show. That basically means that there are 45 ways that the show that could break down or mess up and they can still fix it without cancelling the show. He said Disney has read all the hate on the POTC but it is probably not going to leave the show. Disney really loves that scene. Other than that, we got to see some behind the scene footage of testing and some more pictures. I know this is a HUGE bump to this thread but I though it was somewhat important.

This further reinforces my belief that current Disney creative is incredibly misguided and naive.

Funny... those are also two of the worst things Disney's presented in live entertainment.

Everyone knows that Disney loving that scene is what really matters. The public reaction plays second fiddle.

I'm just trying to figure why Disney loves the scene. It's really not good.

Cost them too much to eat their money and get rid of it.
