Man mounts tribute to Illuminations ROE in his backyard

[KingStefan]

A few years ago, I came across a video of a tribute to Illuminations ROE that a man mounted in his backyard. Considering what he had to work with, it was pretty awesome. He even had a globe that rolled out on a cart. Bottle rockets for fireworks, and lawn sprinklers for fountains, etc. It was IMO very cool!

Anyway, now I've lost the link to it, and I was wondering if anyone knows where I can see this again. Thinking of it especially now, since ROE just ended after so many years.

I'm so nostalgic. My family and I were there at a preview showing (rehearsal?) in the fall of 1999. We're really going to miss that show.

Some folks are extremely dedicated. Some homeowners even try to copy the 5 million Christmas Osborne lights that DHS used to have.

I have a mini fountain of Nations at home as a full surround waterfall but only want to hear it has a different shows every 15 minutes and I use one for the fountain of Nations, Rescuers from down Under to be specific.

Very cool, Lands.

This guy had all cheesy stuff, tho, not fancy like yours. It's like he made something from stuff he had around the house. I do think he had computer launched bottle rockets, tho

Once I get the launch part and computer system down I can easily make a little Illuminations. I already have a laser show but if I do pyro it’s rigged up to a time fuse and lit by hand.

Where’s the guy with the homemade millennium falcon?

I love this. It's the same guy who recreated Soarin' in his garage. Minnesota represent!

These are awesome! Thanks, folks.

Still not the one I'm looking for, though. This was a much simpler thing for an ordinary backyard party. So quaint! Not elaborate like the Minnesota one.
