Also…. The fog effects on the lift hill were missing…. Maybe the coyote drank the fog juice and died?

Martin - off topic but why is there no partners statue in the Disneyland Park?

I've always wondered if the partners statue had been created a few years earlier, would Paris hub be completey redesigned? With the current design with stages in the middle of the hub, there isn't the same space as there is for the Partners statue at the other castle parks

It seems like there is space now but maybe I’m under estimating how much room the statue and planter take up.

I forget now. There’s a reason it went into the studios (currently in storage mind)

The C lift smoke has issues they’re still working on. The Ln2 is stored on the mainland and pumped under the water. Blockages are an issue.

Is that the same issue in California? - joking of course

I wish they could have a theatrical haze machine for b mode - would make a big difference.

I do know Cali uses more traditional smoke type machines (though curiously and thankfully not water based - guess they learnt their lessons)

DLP shared a little preview of the Disney Main Street, U.S.A. projections for Disney Tales of Magic - the new nighttime show launching Jan 10.

Still hate projections. To my eyes, they are ugly and out-of-place.

What is it about projecting images onto surfaces never meant to be projected on that makes people fall madly in love with the silly concept? And Disney is SO enamored with projections onto surfaces not meant to be projected on, it's ridiculous.

Sometimes it works…. The best use of it so far is Tree of Life in my opinion.

I’m not a big fan of them either but… One big benefit is it allows them to have a show in bad weather. Last night at Paris they couldn’t fly drones or shoot pyro…. But the projections allowed them to have the shows.

This started with Dreams in 2012. It was designed to run without pyro and/or fountains depending on the weather. Prior to this it was all or nothing.

I'm shocked at how well it works on the Tree of Life.

So… have they just replaced all fireworks with drones now? Yikes.

There is Pyro in the Finale, saw it on X. How much Pyro in the Show is another question...

 

[Squishy]

The show feels like a mashup of Harmonious & Disneyland's Together forever, feels like they're just playing disney clips with drones and pyro.

 

[IMDREW]

Watching a full video right now on YT and I gotta say, loving it so far. Great music.

 

[IMDREW]

Okay Im sold

Main Street view

After watching it a few times its catching on to me, I like the soundtrack.

I could be wrong but I believe laws/regulations limit the amount of pyro they are able to use.

They do, for high level / high volume shells.

Have they ever / do they ever use the larger shells?

For as little pyro as Illuminations had, it’s a great show that feels like a castle night time show. Obviously more fireworks would be better…. But I still loved the show (more than HEA…. Haha)
