They haven't brought back nightly ones, but during the summer an additional show is added during the week. Actually two, because they run more than one show at night.
Wasn't added to the promotion? Neither was Illuminations. What of it?

I would very much like to see a new Dragon added to Fantasmic like Disneyland instead of it being taken down

Well the Fantasmic show there is a cheap ripoff of the Disneyland version, so yeah that's what I would expect.

This is either a bad rumor or a cruel joke.
No, but Illuminations is not as intricate a show as Fantasmic either.

I would like something new. I've seen it 3 times and one time was enough.
It is such a great area for a nighttime show and I am sure Disney could develop something SPECTACULAR to replace it.

Is the fantasmic lagoon etc large enough for World of Color though? It doesnt seem like the layout would be. I dont see TDO spending money on all that right now unless maybe World of Color came as part of the 40th? But seems too soon. We will be lucky if MK gets a new daytime parade even.

I saw Fantasmic at WDW for the first time a couple of years back during a corporate event, and it seemed corny, cheesy. Maybe it's that I don't have any nostalgic memories of it, and my kids weren't there. But I just didn't get into it. And I was seeing it for free.
I'm all for something else, esp. something like a WOC show with a different theme. The beauty of a WOC-type infrastructure is that it can be reset with a new show fairly easily, so maybe they would create a similar setup at DHS, and then make a new show about movies. Come to think of it, the WOC show at DCA seems to focus on Disney and Pixar movies... Hmmm.
Quick question: How big is the water area at DCA, and how does that compare with the pond at DHS, the one in front of Indy? I've not been to DCA, but I get the feeling that the DHS pond is smaller.

I really and truly hope that it doesn't go anywhere...I am such a huge fan of Fantasmic. It's my favorite night time show. However, I don't think an update would be bad. Some other movies being added in wouldn't be bad.

Fantasmic is really the only thing that would have me coming back to Hollywood (well, and the new Toy Story). I would hate to see it go!

I have been to WDW many times since Fantasmic! was an offering and the one and only time that we have seen it was in 2002. It was good, but not something that I felt was worthy of making the effort to go see again.
Now, put WoC in there and OMG, I will be on that like white on rice! What I have seen of the show on YouTube has been nothing short of awe inspiring.

This has actually been talked about quite a few times on here, and the thought is that it would be virtually impossible, for a handful of reasons.
The "lake" at AK in front of Everest doesn't have a concrete bottom.
The "lake" is connected to the river that runs around the tree of life. That would all have to be changed.
The waterways at AK have plenty of fish/turtles/wildlife in them (it's kinda part of the theme of the park, no?). That would be a bad mix with a highly technical fountain show.
There's no infrastructure in place for something like that in that lake.
That's just a few of the reasons. There's also no viewing area for something like that. That's not to say that any of these hurdles couldn't be overcome... But that takes $$... And we all know how TDO is about that. Why would they do all that, and spend all that money, when they've got a perfectly good lagoon with tons of stadium seating already built that would work great? Or if they didn't want to go that direction, I'd still imagine they could build another facility from scratch for the same or less than what it would cost to make it happen in the lake at the AK.
The simplist solution is usually the correct one... A show themed around Disney movies makes sense in a park centered around movies, in a theatre and stadium already there and ready to be converted. Zero chance it would happen anywhere else on property, IMHO.
Welcome to the boards, by the way!
