I second that. Not sure I understand this growing TRON craze, but the concept here is fantastic!

They've taken a huge new show that is barely five months old, and totally redone the end and exit piece. And it's not some cheesy marketing shtick, as it's done very impressively and comes off very slick and entertaining.

Dare I say it, they seem to be getting even better at programming this amazing technology they've got in that lagoon?!

Bravo Disneyland, you've done it yet again! :sohappy:

TRONcore, the new tag ending for World of Color, will premiere this Sunday with with previews starting tonight. It utilizes new projector and laser effects.

The encore begins right after the main show ends - ErikInTheCity describes the integration of the new scene into the show:



The new TRON segment is the very first encore for WoC since the show premiered in June. The show encores were part of the initial concept for the show, they were designed as a way to add new scenes and keep the show always changing. With TRONcore finally here, I think it really demonstrates the beauty of the WoC system and its versatility. Nights at DCA just got even better!

No videos yet, but here are a few pictures posted by boy33 on Twitter:

Darn we just came back from seeing it 1 week prior to the new encore... I'm not sure if it would have been enough to make me a fan of WoC though. From my point of view, WoC is a poor sustitute for DisneyWorld's Fantasmic... Both shows are on the water... both project things on mist... Except one has comfortable seats where you can enjoy the show and the other has standing and pushing room only... and of course 1 totaly destroys the water view in the daylight when all the foutain heads are shown in the lagoon.

You shouldn't compare the two. But mostly the fountain heads DO drop below the water, but can't after the earthquake. They can fix it and take the popular show down for months or keep it running to satisfies guests.

I simply remember looking out of Mickey's ferris wheel and thinking how ugly the whole mess looks from there... You might not see them from the ground but from the Ferris wheel it looks like an industrial accident because you see the entire mass of pipes and machinery.

They are now keeping the platforms at hidden-level below the water during the day. They were having buoyancy issues, but apparently it has been fixed now.

In other news.. Steve Davison recently said that World of Color has now been seen by over a million guests. Also, Disney CEO Bob Iger recently told the Wall Street Journal that "World of Color has increased attendance since it opened at California Adventure by 20%."

World of Color celebrates its 500th performance tonight!


It’s time for “World of Color” to take a bow.

The hit show celebrates a big milestone tonight – its 500th performance at Disney California Adventure park. Thank you to the more than two million guests who have seen this spectacular display of water and special effects since it opened on June 11, 2010.

In thanks to all the “World of Color” fans, we have a fun trivia quiz today about the show, plus a look back at some of the great video highlights from Paradise Bay. This video is one that has been a favorite on the Disney Parks Blog:

Some World of Color rumors to catch up on, grain of salt as always.

The entire Aladdin scene is rumored to be replaced by Tangled's "I see the light"

Also something is up for when a season arrives...

I don't know if this has been mentioned, however.. According to my friends lead at WOC, and take it with a grain of salt.. but this all the cast members are talking about.. They will be removing the Aladdin scene from WOC and adding tangled in its place.

Very exciting! insider67 is usually very reliable with his DCA info. I wonder if these changes will become part of this year's Summer Nightastic.

I wonder if he's hinting at something for summer, Halloween, or Christmas. Halloween and Christmas have been rumored for a while even before the show debuted if I remember right.

But if its something for summer, it's really going to be the greatest summer ever for DLR. Mermaid, Soundsational, Star Tours 2, Paradise Gardens, Sky School, Pirates World Premiere, Summer Nightastic!, ElecTRONica staying till labor day, and the D23 Expo!

^ Awesome, thanks for the update!

I wonder if it's just for the Spring Break season or if it will be extended through the Summer. Either way, i'm glad it's returning :)
