Wishes replacement

Wishes, Illuminations and Fantasmic can be replaced. I've never really bonded with Fantasmic and the ordeal to view just adds to my indifference. Wishes and Illuminations I love however something is lost when it no longer brings the Awe it once did.

I'd be all in for new shows IF Disney allows imagineers to create something new to replace them all with the quality we expect and Fantasmic with a show that can actually operate reliably, Fantasmic has always had its bugs that crashes elements or cancels shows, Disney can do better.

Not only could they be replaced, but they should be.

Again, this is the result of Disney conditioning a whole generation of guests that tired, stale and just plain old shows are 'nostalgic' and 'MAGICal' and should never change. EPCOT had 5-6 different lagoon shows minimally from 1982-1999. One since.

At the moment yes.

2 1/2 years ago the MK was to get similar tech installed as Dreams has. Moat fountains. LED uplighting. Misters. Flame jets. Synchrolights.

Symphony in D.

I don't see how that would work - at least not on the level of Dreams in Paris just because MK doesn't have the hills for the canvas ...

I would echo this. I do not know for certain, but I do not see fountains of substance in the new show. Pyro and projections, perhaps lasers too.

Now, back to my regularly scheduled Faux Top One Percent Spirited Winter Holiday Abroad.

I was surprised to see you up so early, but then I realized you're on Europe time lol

I wouldn't be surprised to see the projection technology used during the fireworks show as well rather than have 2 different shows

Fountains? Misters? Didn't they get rid of the tomorrowland waterfalls because the "wind" at MK was too brisk? Hard to see how any water-based show would work at MK.

The waterfalls made the Tland bridge slippery sometimes until they were controlled automatically. By then it was too late.

Plant planned for the hub would have been similarly controlled. Plus there's a lot of grass between the water and the Tarmac (for now)

I hope they go back to this plan! That would be awesome! Sounds like changes are coming to the moat though.. If we loose a lot of it that will for sure mean no fountains :-(.

In my European opinion, Disney Dreams is by far the best closing show they ever made, although the fireworks in USA is since the opening of DLP always better than in Paris.

But the combination of techniques they use in Disney Dreams is breathtaking The rumour we heard here in Europe is that the creative man behind Disney Dreams is working on a show for WDW, what would be a mindbreaking show.....

The man you speak of is Steve Davison, he is currently working on FOF at the MK. http://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/...arade-coming-to-magic-kingdom-in-2014.864055/

I can't get the Wishes video on your site to play. I can get other stuff to play. Is it because I'm using an iPad?

I had a friend in who saw it and wants to show her husband the video and I was all, "Oh, I know where to find a really good one..."

Is it my iPad, me, or did you pull the video? (It's probably me. I know this. :))
