Recent RoE Pyro Differences
Oh, one other thing I'd like to mention. An oopsie that occured last night was that only one ALF shell was launched from the center slip instead of two.
I HATE when this happens. Twice I've tried to videotape the show and both times only one shell exploded. Is this just an "Oops" moment, are did they forget to put the other shell in? Either way, VERY ANNOYING!
Actually, I'm a very BIG fan of IllumiNations, RoE, and check YouTube everyday for new videos of the show (a little extreme, I know). Since we're on the subject of firework effects during the show, I thought I'd make a list of some changes I've noticed over the past year:
1. The "Big Bang" fireworks have been made bigger, and now that the ALF effect is operational again, this total effect is as good as it was when the show first started.
2. As others have stated, the red flickers are a few seconds out of alignment with the red bursts. The effect should be that the light from the bursts is landing on the water (symbolizing the creation of objects in the universe). However, there was a time, fairly recently, when these did not function AT ALL! So, while they may not be exactly right, its nice to see that they have them working again.
3. The 4 colored bursts were off for some time recently. The first set of bursts were fine, but the subsequent air bursts for the 3 remaining colors were off and not synchronized very well, as they exploded too early. Furthermore, for some time, orange bursts were going off when there should have been green bursts! This happend multiple times too. Thankfully, this seems to have been fixed, and all is well with this set.
4. The 3 sets of 4 golden fireworks just before the Celebration sequence have been changed. They now have more of a sparkle, and linger longer in the sky. However, they seem to have gotten smaller in the process. Also, the cascading white fireworks seem smaller.
5. For a time, the four ending bursts of circle fireworks in the Celebration sequence were off, with the second and third bursts exploding too close together. This seems to have been addressed.
6. The colored fireworks at the end of the show have been changed, and are smaller than they used to be. Also, the bursts from the perimeter of the lagoon are different now, and burn out much earlier than before.
As I said, I'm a BIG fan of the show, and probably know a little too much about it for my own good. However, has anyone else noticed these changes over the past year?
