Osbourne Lights Returning under new Name?
- Thread starter NeonNinja
- Start date
Putting a light display on Sunset Blvd would be an operational disaster. Streets of America worked because it was exclusively for the lights. Imagine all those people that were there each night, just standing there on Sunset Blvd. Then throw in Fantastic dumping 10000 people into the street, along with Beauty and the Beast, and the parks two most popular attractions.

on Sunset Blvd? great idea... let's completely clog the path to/from 2 of the parks most popular attractions not counting Fantasmic and BatB show
and the light structures etc were given back to the Osborne Family at the end of last season.
Doesn't matter what you call it if the material was given back to the family or destroyed

It was a hack job. Those lights aren't sitting in storage anywhere.
Well, it was first tweeted by @androckb from Pixels at the Parks and then run by this new blog. They did get a nice amount of shares on FB though
True, but those lights were created with the SoA structures in mind. None of them would be usable anywhere else, anyway. It isn't as though they were a string of lights you put up at your house. They were nets that were uniquely designed for each building. The things that weren't specifically created for SoA were most likely the self-standing structures that were given back to the Osborne family.
There's zero chance of the lights going to Sunset Blvd. Besides the operational impossibility, where are the buildings to hang them on? The very few buildings that there even are along Sunset Blvd. are only one, maybe two, stories high.
Sounds like some fanboi making things up.

A credible source came to us at Pixels At The Parks (I'm @androckb) and shared the info. Given the source's reliability, we decided to share. Of course, it's only a rumor at this point. We don't get too caught up in rumors, but occasionally share ones from good sources.
I'm not suggesting that they are simply picking up and plopping the Osborne Lights onto Sunset Boulevard, and I don't believe our source was either.

The only way I could see this working is if they did it as a projection instead of actual lights and it was on a timed schedule of say 10 minutes once ever hour. This would allow them to coordinate the shows with fantasmic crowds and minimize the impact. That said, as a former DHS showkeeper I largely agree with everyone else that osbourne lights on sunset would be a logistics nightmare.
Agreed. Use the projection technology for the new Fireworks and utilize it up and down Hollywood and Sunset and have it presented intermittently so as to not create major crowd problems.

Tower of Terror has a lot of surface area to put lights on . . .

That would be a disgrace to so such a beautifully themed structure. It would be like re-theming the tower to something like Guardians of the Galaxy for example.
