I've seen it in person 4 times and I agree with everything in that post apart from he missed the fact that there's fire!

Try viewing it from above, it loses much of the effect.

Agreed. WoC is a fine show (and I've talked elsewhere that I've love to see it modified and brought to DAK as an animal/nature themed version) but it just isn't as good as Fantasmic! IMHO which has such a great combination of so many elements: live acting, fireworks, fire effects, water effects, projection, etc.

I like how it is at DCA and how Fantasmic is at DL except the pathways get really really crowded making it hard for thru traffic

Those are the exact reasons why I also believe Fantasmic! surpasses World of Color, no doubt.

I'm sure in another month or two there will be another thread that pops up just like this one. Disney is letting this great show go to s--- and its really sad. Every guest that has paid for DHS for the day deserves to see this show in 100% working order. Anything less is unacceptable. Pretty soon they will just give up and begin to make cuts on the difficult portions of the show because they will believe that the "average" guest wont even notice (ehem yeti ehem)

I agree 100% doctornick. Fantasmic is THE best nighttime show at WDW & is a MUST do for anyone that has never seen it. I have friends that have been to WDW several times & have never seen it. We were discussing this just the other day & I told them they definitely need to put this on their list. After all, where else in WDW can you see Steamboat Willie????
I also thought the lift that lifts and drops sorcerer Mickey was really really slow, you saw him clearly rise up and down.

It's been slowed down over the years for safety reasons

I agree. This sounds like an E stop to me. I can't argue that the show needs some serious TLC but neglect isn't necessarily the cause in this type of scenario.
The fact that the show started up again so quickly would cause me to think that this was a case of a performer being in the wrong place at the wrong time triggering the E stop. Once the area was cleared and deemed safe the show could resume.

No!!!!!!!!! Refurb Fantasmic and install WoC somewhere else in WDW
Do they even have room for the fountains in front?
They kept the fountains on while the show was stopped sans projections of course.

When we were there are on Good Friday for the second showing, the dragon malfunctioned. It came almost came out and just stopped. The show at that point became "improvised". Malifecent stayed on stage longer and the water still went ablaze which looked odd because it wasn't "prompted" by the dragon. The Dragon stayed out for the remanider of the show and it appeared they "tried" to hide with with the fountains. Even after the show was finished the fountains remained on to try to hid it. I got some good pictures of it just sitting there during the show and after. We went a week later and had the show as normal, no glitches except for nice wind gust.

seen it person several times, and I'm not a fan of the hype that is World of Color. I will take any firework show or Fantasmic anyday over World of ColorHave you seen it in person and not on YouTube? Just curious don't want to be rude or anything
