News Wishes to be replaced with new 'Happily Ever After' nighttime spectacular

[jrhwdw]

Each to their own and all that

Well, when you compare it to TDL's........



OUAT uses the roof lights..those came first. I think TDL only has roof lights for their shows, I dont think any more lights, only fountains are coming for Celebrate TDL, someone can correct me.

Fantasy NYE used both sets, we'll see if they get used on party nights this year....

When OUAT first debuted during wishes they had and used the moat lights but not sure what they're using now.

I thought HEA brought more lights, Where did they go?

The moat lights that are currently missing were not present when OUAT first debuted. They were added for HEA.

Re: the searchlights - since they are LED based in order to do the RGB colors, they aren't very bright so they need a bit atmosphere to be visible. Perhaps it was windy and clear when they weren't "on" as on clear nights they can be hard to spot (pun intended) unless some of the shell smoke gives them something to bite into.

On a clear windy day in January, they were almost invisible with the naked eye unless they passed through the smoke; but, they were on as picked up in my long exposures.

Fortunately, Florida's haze usually makes this not an issue.

I get what you’re saying but what I'm saying is that the actual spotlights have been removed from their spots along the moat, most likely for TLC. I didn’t take a picture last week but this pic I took back in August shows what I’m talking about. Imagine this without the lights, just the foundations:

These were removed but the rooftop ones are still very much being used.

About how high are the blooms? In front of the castle, they don't look that high. But from far away it looks tremendously high.

HEA has been around for 50 weeks now. How's the popularity? A bit more doable now the first hype is over?

Still just as popular as when the show opened.

That's wonderful!

Anyone know if the lagoon lights are back? Also, is MRFF's pyro going back to the Fantasyland buildings soon?

Photos as of today. The lights are still missing. On another note, the entire area seems to have far more plants than it did a few months ago (or things have really grown out).

What sense did it make to shoot pyro for a Castle show from the buildings in Fantasyland?

MRFF pyro is staying permanently on the castle...don’t get your hopes up about the lagoon lights coming back...

Aw, how come they’re not coming back?

In some recent YouTube videos, the two outer sets of spotlight arrays on the Fantasyland buildings have been off too...I guess spotlight reduction is better than pyro reduction?

That is disappointing, the show does some really neat things with the spotlights

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the pyro move because they were doing work on the buildings? I could be wrong but I think HEA is missing a launch point or two from the buildings since MRFF's pyro moved to the castle?

Not certain on HEA, you’re correct MRFF did originally move cause of work but they’re making the move permanent.

Less horticulture work...less mechanical work on the lights...pick your poison. Either way, cheapening a show like this is just not right.

HEA is still stunning! IDK if this kind of cheapening hurts HEA. At least it's not the DHS cheap budget where there's no high pyro in DHS some nights.

 

[MTBaymax]

With that said, guess where that high pyro is going?
