Thank you for that. I going to go take a cold shower now.

Hopefully in the future they'll bust this out, hell, once a week would be great. Every Friday night in the Summer, boom perimeter effects for HEA.

How often did Wishes bust them out? I know they did for the first glow with the show performance.

Well, with fireworks like that, you know that those theme park weddings will last a lifetime!

Before Holiday Wishes opened, every MVMCP. After Holiday Wishes opened, just on MK'S 40th and that night you mentioned. Not even on MK's 45th!

Vanilla Wishes also got them on select private nights. Depended if the hirer was willing to pay.

Just saw on Twitter that HEA will have perimeter fireworks tonight for a private event. Anyone know what the event is?

It was a park buyout event by a private company.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HEA!!!!!! What a show we got 1 year ago!

Anyone going tonight? Wonder if it's birthday will be mentioned tonight?

I really enjoyed cinespec from the park.

I thought it was okay, but it paled in comparison to any of Disney's nighttime shows. Hopefully this replacement will be more ambitious.

I didn’t compare it to any other night time shows. Not everything is a competition.

Very true, but it's almost hard not to draw comparisons. Especially since Universal's parks are as good as Disney's in many other ways.

True enough, but I would have guessed it was supposed to be their nighttime spectacular. By the nature of the business few things that Universal and Disney do are not competitive. In that regard Universal Florida has yet to come up with a nighttime spectacular that is truly competitive with that of WDW's. Both use to have better nighttime show offerings in other parts of the globe.

I do think Happily Ever After is now a top of class spectacular in Disney's (not just WDW's) worldwide offering of nighttime entertainment.

I would look forward to Universal Florida trying to be more competitive here and match it with its own nighttime spectacular with equal drawing power.

PS. Even SeaWorld's short but powerful 9 minute long "Ignite" show is entertaining and packs in its own memorable wow moments. Universal needs something in this Arena.

In the meantime, happy anniversary to Happily Ever After.

I even said that Ignite was right below HEA! Give Ignite HEA's soundtrack and it would top MK since MK doesn't have fountains.

I do wonder who Universal is going after: Ignite? HEA?

It's not??

I wish we could frame this so the constant "who does it better" can end.

Exactly. Not everything is a competition.

For me, I'm glad Universal is getting a new night show. The old one, I could take or leave.

The Blog released a video montage of the testing night (not that they would tell you that).

Seems like the outer sets of rooftop lights aren't operating right now as well. You can see the lack of them in the first two minutes of this video

Not sure when that video was filmed but they were operating last week.

 

[MTBaymax]

Talked with another fireworks CM last week.

Spoiler: In a word...

Manufacturers.
Apparently, the original ones were a bit problematic, so they switched. At the time, they said 2-3 weeks before the full arsenal is restored. I’m giving them til the end of the month.

They ain’t operating now.

Yeah, the moat lights returned tonight.
