[FONT='Times New Roman','serif']I looked at the show, both on here and on Laughingplace.com. What separates this show is the story. MK is trying to tell a story. It’s been that way ever since Wishes and the special versions of Wishes premiered. What was the norm for July 4th and new years was the regular Fantasy in the Sky where, way back when, Big Booms were a treat for special events. As for “A concert in the sky” Even concerts have slow songs to create variety. My Opinion on Celebrate America, ROE may have competition this year. Glad MK is showing it tomorrow night, the 3rd and the 4th. [/FONT]

I never really liked that they have a special 4th of July ending to ROE but not for special days in other countries (Cinco De Mayo, Canada Day etc.) considering Epcot is about World Unity.

GOSH!
How you could you say this was just .... ummph? :veryconfu
Are you kidding me??? - it's one of the best firework shows that the MK has EVER put on (OK OK OK...New Years Eve is a supurb show too, but totally different-it doesn't tell a "story" like this one does-IMHO)! They really put it out there this year...
I ONLY WISH I could be there in person to see it. Talk about it must be loud standing on Main Street!!! Yeeesh! And all that smoke (you don't get that much smoke from just a few fireworks.)
Congrats to the fireworks dept! Well done!:sohappy:

There was almost no breeze last night, and so the prolonged Fantasyland rooftop pyro section did cause some lingering stagnant smoke. It wasn't nearly as obscuring live, though it was there. I'm sure a slight breeze would take care of it, and it's not at all a big deal in the grand scheme, especially since this show is only performed twice a year (previews excluded).

Very true! It would be nice to see something special done for each of the countries! Even if it's just a little something that only takes place at the specific pavilion. I mean, here in the UK, we have four Saint Days: -
St Patrick - Ireland
St David - Wales
St George - England
St Andrew - Scotland
Disney could be missing out a little just with those four! I mean, St George supposedly fought a dragon! I can feel a re-creation coming on involving little kiddies!

Thank you for posting it Steve.I know this is a Disney World centric site, but will you be hunting for and posting a video of Disneyland's version of this show?

Does Magic Kingdom or any of the other parks ever close due to capacity issues on July 3rd?
The family and I are planning on visiting Magic Kingdom tomorrow specifically just to see these new holiday fireworks, but I'm not sure if we'll bother this year if the crowds are going to be insane.

Judging from the previews, it is a spectacular show. Slower paced, longer and much better than it's predecessor.
The This is My Country segment is done very well including the movement of the HES Cyberlights outward from the castle and on to the trees on each side.
The Shenandoah section is also done very well with the red willows alternating between main and perimeter zones. Then moving on to gold palms with crackling red centers also alternating zones.
My favorite part has to be when the all of the perimeter zones are used with the barrages of red, white, and blue stars along with the in-park red, white and blue candle fans.
In addition, the Mickey breaks are cute just after the final barrages from each zone.
I also think that the soundtrack is amazing.
The video on WDWMagic is highly recommended.

Here's a link to my recording of the show from last night standing on Main Street just outside the ice cream shop. As I type this, the lo-res versions are ready and the medium and high-res versions are still uploading. They'll likely be ready in the next hour or so (up load is kind of slow this morning).

Ooo, neat! I don't mean this to be critical in any way, but is the music off the visuals for anyone, or was that just the music on the parade barges being off the actual show?Hi guys, a new video from today.

How far off are we talking? I just had a look at it, and all seems well from here. There is a bit of a speed of light vs speed of sound issue at the Poly beach.

The soundtrack is just about 4.5 seconds ahead of the pyro. Not the reports from the pyro but the actual breaks. The sound was perfect for the NYE show.
For instance, at the very beginning of the show, the EWP turns on and that is when the in-park fan is supposed to go as well.
