I've always been impressed with that! It always looked more than what the Reg F! had! Too bad F! can't go to Show B automatically whenever they need to during the Show! Same with Pyro at DL!

My favorite part of new fantasmic is being trapped in the parking lot after
The star of the show!...

I’m so happy they stuck with the original theme and not the Disneyland version, I’m also happy they kept Mickey silent thru the beginning unlike that annoying voiceover Disneyland’s has. I do like what they did with the fountains.

Thoughts (based on a YouTube upload)
- The lighting and overall tech enhancements look great. I prefer this over projection mapping. If you add projection mapping it's too similar to the other night shows, and quite frankly projection mapping-heavy shows are played out. This retains its emphasis on being a live performance on a stage.
- I wish they would re-animate some of the old footage, I've always hated how you can see the frames and very obvious editing in some of the old clips.
- The four-ish minute Pocahontas scene was replaced with a six-ish minute assorrtment of many films. While spending that much time on just Pocahontas was always a little odd, I do feel that this detracts a little bit rather than adds. I think the canoe segment was a nice breather and the segment as a whole was a break from the overall random mishmash that the show mostly is. Now, it only adds to the randomness.
- Someone said this earlier in the thread and they're right - having Tinkerbell appear after this segment causes her appearance at the end to lose some emotional impact.
- I wish they would not have added Frozen and Moana since they add them everywhere, but I guess it was inevitable. I like that they refrained from using Let It Go or Into the Unknown for Elsa, but I wish they had not chosen How Far I'll Go for Moana. I suppose it fits the most with the visuals.
- There definitely needs to be more performers on stage during the new segments.
- I miss when the snake had headlight beam eyes.
- Mickey's new delivery of "You make think you're so powerful! Well uh, this is MY dream!" does not carry the same emotional weight as the old one and I think they should re-dub it.
- The new pyro at the finale is worse and seems scaled back. I miss the THWUMP created by the upward flourishes that would accompany Mickey raising his hands at the top of each measure.
Overall mostly positive changes but could have been better. It also could have been a LOT worse so I guess I'll definitely take this. Glad to have it back.

The snake still has headlight beams, they just weren't working on the first night.

Can’t wait to see what time people start lining up today. I’m guessing noon

I wouldn’t be surprised but just due to the physical space / the surrounding areas, I feel like they’ll prevent (or attempt to) a physical queue from forming until closer to 5:30-6 for the first showCan’t wait to see what time people start lining up today. I’m guessing noon

So will just be a mob of people lingering around where the queue will be for a few hours

Send in the liquor carts!
Yep I agree. They will have to aim to prevent a line forming.

That makes two of us.
Tuesday night will be interesting with just one show per night scheduled. Maybe Genie+ changes by then?
Maybe they didn't want to do Genie + because the show is supposed to be free for everyone who pays for a park ticket? For rides, even without Genie + you'd still have the option to wait in a regular line. For this, if you didn't purchase Genie + for Fantastmic you'd be out of luck. Not really fair.
Of course they will probably add it to Genie + next week.

I assumed they would have three sections- standby, LL and dining package. That’s what it was previously, right?Maybe they didn't want to do Genie + because the show is supposed to be free for everyone who pays for a park ticket?

Oh maybe, I have no clue. I've never actually watched Fantasmic!.
Stand-by is less complicated.
