I had the luck of seeing it on Sunday.
All I can say is...Beautiful Show!
Not only the visuals but the music and sound system were really incredible too. We went on rides right up until they started closing them down and then wandered over to get in line for the show. It took about 10 minutes to get into the Park and find a place to stand (sit for about 30 minutes until showtime) and we selected a spot right in the center on the top step so no-one could possible stand in front of us to block our view.
Some of the stuff they did with water, motion, lights, lasers, mist, fire & video etc will blow your mind. It is like NOTHING I have ever seen before. At one point they make the water shooting upward look as though it just goes up ONLY, you can't see it dropping, I think its done with lights and I was mesmerized for a moment by that effect. Everyone has or will have their favorite parts and mine was the Pirates of the Caribbean near the end, all the red lights, fire and video worked perfectly and that part seemed the most memorable for me.
Overall I give the show an A and think the creative team, the engineers, sprinkler experts, editor's what-ever should get to have a standing ovation from the crowd! I'm still clapping and can't wait to see it again.
Here's a few show facts I haven't really seen posted anywhere;
Nearly 1200 programmable water fountains, streaming 30 to 200 feet high
Nearly one full acre of engineered superstructure (longer than a football field)
More than 36 flame effects
One of the World's Largest water screens (380 feet wide by 50 feet high, 19,000 square ft of projection surface.
More than 100 musicians and a choir of 100 voices are featured on the soundtrack.
Go! See! Enjoy!!!
I'll get to actually go to see it in August though. Can't wait, I've snuck a look at the show too!
