World Of Color in WDW?

[IowaHawks7]

I just saw a video for the World of Color from DCA and was wondering could this ever come to WDW? Simply because it was amazing what i saw in the video. Maybe replacing Fantasmic?

Still think AK would be the best place for it. Epcot would also work if they wanted to replace Illuminations.

It can't be installed in a natural body of water. Therefore Epcot is out and unless the built a new land with an artificial lake at DAK it is not going there either. Hmm, a theme park at WDW with an artificial lake. Does such a thing even exist? :veryconfu
:shrug:

They could downsize it and put it in Echo Lake...

No. It is not coming to WDW. The infrastructure needed to produce that show is staggering. It is a not as simple as bringing over the MSEP. So sadly, unless you head over to DCA, you will not be seeing World of Color. It happens to be worth the trip though.

Elements of the show could find their way into future WDW productions.

Ak would be perfect for a WOC type show. It uses fountains instead of loud smokey pyro effects, making it fit the enviromental theme of AK. Plus it would work perfectly keeping guests at AK in the evening. The actual show could be themed to the cycle of nature like the firebird segment in Fantasia 2000. Tons of potential here.

The other shows could recieve WOC type elements, namely Fantasmic. IMO Illuminations would benefit from BraviSEAmo (former Disney Sea pyro show) type effects since the show is already still awesome.

The big issue with AK hosting a show like this is the lack of space around the water for a viewing area. The park is not at all setup with wide open space for viewing areas and clear sight-lines - it is very much the opposite.

I personally thought WOC was mediocre. If you're not sat directly face on then you can't make a lot of it out and it's confusing.

I wouldn't trade any WDW show/spectacular for WOC it's a poor man's Fantasmic IMO!

EPCOT's lake is not a natural lake. It and cresent lake and the water way to the studios were all man made. Unless you mean big swimming pool when you say artificial lake. There is no reason why they couldn't place it there. A lot harder to drain I would imagine, but not impossible. After all, they drained and dredged Bay Lake when they were building the Magic Kingdom way back in the sixties. That's where all the nice sandy beaches white sand came from along Seven Seas Lagoon which is also man made, or do you consider that an artificial lake?

Expect WOC elements like Steve said to appear in other water based shows on both east and west coasts.

What elements are we talking about?

 

[menamechris]

Is it wrong that I am getting to the point where I expect to see little to nothing from WDW?

 

[Lavelle]

I think I read in the Unofficial Guide that there were rumors the show would be on the water in front of Expedition Everest...

World Showcase Lagoon is a man made body of Water. It can be drained.

Well if you built a custom Fantasmic type show area somewhere in the park rather than in the existing water areas I think it coudl work.

I saw the show last month and the best part was the Tron takeover at the end of the show. The features were great but the show itself (minus Tron) was merely "meh"... It seemed to miss one component that made it an explosive show. :shrug: I would like to see the technology incorporated on the East Coast but I wouldn't advocate replicating the show itself.

 

[AswaySuller]

I agree, I thought WOC was nothing more than a bit better than the water /fountain show Sea World did in the mid 90's.

I would much see something more "explosive" and or original at WDW.

Epcot's body of water was man made wasn't? I've seen construction photos with an empty lake.
Do you mean thatit must have a concrete bottom then?
