Fantasmic Reopening Watch

[ToTBellHop]

Update!

Laser projections are finally fully working again (3/3 sets) since Monday 9/11. They've been broken since around July 7.

Here's a livestream from last night. Starts at Elsa's costume reveal where can see all 3 laser sets in action.


Can they now fix the lasers in HEA's finale too?

As for the rest of the effects..

• Trampoline and stunts still not in use.
• Ariel barge still missing two of its light poles.
• Malificient colored flames still in B-mode.

What trampoline stunts are we talking about? When we saw the show last month, they were falling into the trampoline and jumping back up on to the faux rock. I’m sure there’s a name for it but I’ll call it “wall-jumping”. If that’s all they do (it’s all I’ve ever seen since my first viewing of v. 2.0 last December), it’s merely sporadic.

Correct, it's the jumping that happens with the royal guards during the Aladdin segment.

I do believe Disney themselves referred to it as a trampoline back when they were talking about adding in more stunts into the show during the new hero segment. So I just refer it to as trampoline stunts since it is actual stunt work (jumping and falling) involving equity, similar to what you'll see at Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular.

Okay, then I saw that in August.

Hoping for 10/23 but not holding my breath…

Glad I got two shows for my trip. Got dinner packages so I get the early show, which great as my second night is an EMH night. Will likely rush to Rise before close, hit Toy Story Land in the first hour, Mickey and then finish on sunset with some multi rides on ToT.

Are they adding second, earlier shows every week now?

 

[jrhwdw]

Anyone know the reason why DHS is adding Earlier F! Instead of Later F! and Extending Hours like they've always done????

 

[Touchdown]

Because 8:00 it’s dark this time of year, because 9pm is traditionally a pretty late close for DHS. I’m just happy with the double show. Other than the night I’m there for EMH (which I now get to watch F! and use all of the EMH) I plan on watching the first show (with a F! Meal package) riding ToT 2-3x, and then going back to watch F! again.

Just FYI that my date got an 8 pm addition!

5 weeks in a row now.

I’ve been seeing the show semi-regularly since about 1998, and I never saw a show without the dragon until tonight. No dragon at the 9:30 show this evening, just Maleficent on the platform. Great work by the cast, particularly Maleficent, making it look seamless. All I have are not great iPhone photos…

Anyone else having issues booking the dining packages from 10/15 on? Nothing shows as available on My Disney Experience and when I call the answer I get is it must all be booked. Find that hard to believe.

Bit late for that, have 3 booked after 10/13 and have had them booked since August.

 

[MadderAdder]

I have F! dining for 10/23 but I booked it on 8/23.

Do they typically add additional performances in the first half of December? I would assume so, but you and others would know better.

There were two performances each night last year in early December, but that was shortly after Fantasmic! reopened.
