Odd. I thought that I had heard somewhere that they were stored at a secure facility at OIA, and were taken to the resort one day's worth at a time.

Of course, you're the expert, so I shouldn't question.

The OIA site was abandoned about 5 years ago. Disney found it more cost effective to build there own facility on property. Besides the OIA site was cramped. I could not see them having the room now with Wishes on board if they were still there. Since Wishes shoots about 500 more pieces than FITS did.

Hey Boo....what was up with the few (4 or 5) very low altitude explosions on Friday night?

Sometimes that happens. Could be for a multitude of reasons. Not sure why more did it that night though. I too wondered what was going on.

Yeah, I too had wondered why it wasn't designed in to have more into it to give at least one of them a chance. Maybe it's because she says "face". Or maybe cost. The face shell is bigger in size and more complexed to build than say the heart shells.

If anyone would like to see the true genius of Eric Tuckers designs, below are 2 links to a show he does every May in San Francisco. These shows are unbelievable. You will notice lot of similarities in the San Francisco shows as you do in Wishes and ROE. Eric uses shells that are signature to him. Tell me what you think. I am sure we will see more of this stuff when Disneyland new 50th show starts. For last I heard Steven Davidson had hired Eric to do the fireworks design for that show as well. Eric just competed this past Saturday night in Montreal at the Montreal International Fireworks Competition where he was hired to design a show for Sunny fireworks of China. Sunny supplies about 60% of the Wishes shells.

Montreal Show Report form Saturday.
