Rare performance of Wishes last night (video)

[wdwmagic]

Thre was a special edition performance of Wishes last night for a private event that featured perimeter fireworks.

Video shot from the Contemporary rooftop is now at http://www.wdwmagic.com/Attractions/Wishes/Video.htm

The weather was awful (rain, low cloud), so not the best video, but it gives you an idea.

Kinda cool... Thanks, Steve!

Amazing!

I wonder how much it costs to rent the MK and get your own Wishes?

They should keep using the perimeters! It should become a part of the regular show.

This is one of the reasons why we take our vacation the first week of July. We love the fireworks on July 3 and 4.

Are these shot from the same locations as the HalloWishes perimeters?

And part two of my question...where are those launch locations? Are they on the train tracks? That's all I could guess based on our vantage points from the Hub and then BLT's roof.

They cost a lot more than a regular show - manpower, setting up and taking down the temporary launch sites, plus pyro.

They are good though!

As I understand, Granger bought out the MK for the evening. They did a regular Wishes last night at 6:30, which totally caught me off guard, as I can hear them from my house.

Very cool!

Did anyone else sync the two videos up and watch them at the same time? :lookaroun

If you have to ask.....

Yes, that would be the company.

Also, perimeter shows are a headache from a Cast logistical perspective. More road closures than during a regular show and Toontown having to be cleared, among other things.

Those perimeter fireworks look AMAZING!

It's not as easy as it looks. Martin and CaptainHank already described the problems pretty well. The shows may look very very nice and are popular with pretty much anyone but the added cost and trouble is not worth it. Not nightly anyway. World Drive has to be closed North of the Contemporary and Floridian Way has to be closed North of the Grand Floridian. Several more crew members are needed as well.

Are these shot from the same locations as the HalloWishes perimeters?

Pretty much the same as HalloWishes.

There are a couple on World Drive. Only one used to be located on the railroad tracks themselves. The rest are on Floridian Way.


Thanks for the video, Steve. Very nice show.

Anyone notice that they used newer shells in the Perimeters as compared to the ones in the park?
