just saw that posted on MiceChat, looks incredible! :sohappy:
what's interesting is.. I thought those three mist screens were going to make up the 400 foot wall of water. But according to Steven there are 42 V fans along the back that will create that wall of water.
So if i'm right, that means the big mist screens are really just a backdrop of projection surface in addition to the 400 ft wall of water!

Jeeeeeze. I totally understand how they would do the rumored finale, though, now.

yep! and the cool thing about the V fans is that, according to Steven, they are able to move
he said they can expand, fly, and basically project images onto anything. I'm guessing this is how they will do the Cheshire cat effect with the fountains playing pong with his head.--
DisneyGeek has an update from Friday (1/15) with additional pictures of WoC testing -

But I don't think they've actually tested the show images, have they?

I honestly think that we've just scratched the surface here. So much more to see and hear. The final product will be very well hidden.

Oh, but that's the fun part! Besides, as EpcotExplorer said.. there's a lot left in store that they haven't even shown. When all the effects come together at showtime, that will be the big wow.
Steven Davison said all along that he wanted the project to be out in the open so that people could see its progress. This wasn't something they wanted covered up behind walls. Along the entrance to Paradise Pier they have giant WoC artwork showing guests what they are working on.. It's exciting!
As for the video.. wow! It's amazing to see all the construction that went into this. And those LEDs still blow me away
so colorful and bright!no, they haven't. they will probably test actual show scenes after hours when the park has closed

^ AWESOME.
I really hope it opens on time. Rumors indicate that this storm they are having might delay opening to Memorial Day-ish.

Hardly. This is the equivalent of watching a painter prepare his canvas, his paints, and all his brushes. Technically you're seeing all that there is too it. But you're not seeing the Art. The inchompresmble magic of using these tools to create Art will be more overpowering and special than any sneak peek of the tools you'll see.
To make another metaphor, this is just listening to the orchestra tuning up. Again, technically you're seeing all there is too it...But when the whole orchestra is making music, it will feel entirely different.

In Anaheim it's currently 60 degrees, light to moderate rain falling off and on, and it's breezy.
When I lived in South Carolina, on a scale of 1 to 10 this would have been about a 2 when it comes to rain storms. But for Southern California, this is being treated as a dress rehearsal for the end of the world. Commerce and industry all over Southern California has come to a grinding halt this week, as everyone stares out their windows in awe.
Housewives are huddled in fear all over Orange County, unable to psyche themselves up for the drive in the SUV to the craft store or Target.
Newscasters in LA are out in the mobile van, dressed up like the Gorton's Fisherman, and asking citizens to comment on the puddles along the curb. There are even reports of leaves clogging a storm drain in Santa Monica.
I'm not making this up, this is how Southern California reacts on the 5 or 10 days out of the year when measurable precipitation falls.
That said, I can't imagine that a week of rainy weather will push the opening of World of Color back by a full month. The thing is in the water any way, is it not?
