RE: IllumiNights 2012 Rumors

My bad

Back to illuminights... If you could add one more fireworks spot, where would it be?
 
RE: IllumiNights 2012 Rumors

When I worked at Sea World San Antonio one year for 4th of July the kept the Steel Eel Running. Now they shoot the fireworks from the island in the ski show lake and the first drop on Steel Eel is right next to the lake. So they weren't too worried about debris.
 
RE: IllumiNights 2012 Rumors

Right now, no one knows much of anything and are just passing up what we think could happen, which is very rumor like but as far as anything sorta/kinda more officially rumor like, absolutely no clue.
 
RE: IllumiNights 2012 Rumors

I still think the main site will be the trestle...for obvious reasons. they already have the rail cars, it's secluded they don't have to worry about floating a barge on the rhine, anchoring it, transporting the pyro to the barge(not to mention a firing site(whether it be on the barge or not)) If you float a barge you would not be able to have the river cruises. festhaus was used the first year of illuminights as a rooftop firing location. I remember that. they moved both the germany and the italy sites back last summer so the debris field would be minimal. They wouldn't be able to fire the main show off any of the rooftops because of the proximity rule. They will more than likely still use the fhp site for 2012. They will just push the platform further back.

What about the dam at the end of the Rhine? I know it has a road near it, but a road can be easily closed for the duration of the fireworks... Plus, the train and verbolten can still run during the fire works... Just a thought

@ivybrit: Didn't they use Abby stone theater or castle o sulivan to shoot fireworks off of?
 
RE: IllumiNights 2012 Rumors

yep...and this past summer all of the rooftops were utilized for the puppet show..

although the dam would be great for access...I think it is a little too far...further distance opens another can o worms...the trestle can be viewed from the bridge...ie you can see the low pyro...if you move the main back further you'd have to totally redesign the show. Not to Mention the debris...kingsmill prolly does not want debris on their course or stuff raining down close to their houses...

They had fireworks off of Abbeystone theater in previous years, in fact when I told people that there would be fireworks there and there wasn't, some of them came back to me a tad bit angry and upset. I was upset too, what is the purpose of not firing them from that theater? I saw no problem when they did it?

They still do! I always watch it when I go., they never stopped.
 
RE: IllumiNights 2012 Rumors

No they stopped firing from Abbeystone Theater, I was there for quiet a few nights and when the fireworks went off, there were none to be found at Abbeystone, which really upset me. I have only noticed it this previous year (2011).
 
RE: IllumiNights 2012 Rumors

They may have re done it to do it for legend of kilarny and not the fireworks show
 
RE: IllumiNights 2012 Rumors

Well, the only pyrotechnics I saw in Ireland were just for the show, they took no part in the Tour de Force Fireworks. Which I think they should because the fireworks should be a park-wide display not just in the far end of the park.
 
RE: IllumiNights 2012 Rumors

it's a showcase....the different countries are mixed into the main show... the reason why they don't have it in every country is because of money...doesnt make sense....also height comes into play...yes you could have a mini show in each village, but it's more economical to have one main and two smaller that sort of mirror the main.
