Yeah. Is the Bistro really the best seats for fireworks?

 

[Planeteer]

I sat there last year and it was perfect

 

[Hoopla]

Has anyone done it on the Rhine vessels?

 

[BGWScream]

Do they have any kind of theme for the Illuminights fireworks?

 

[Hoopla]

^ They have it going to music. When the song gets to the final chorus and it is strong, all the fireworks shoot at once. They play the instrumental version of the song ALL DAY which gets very annoying come firework time.

Technically, the fireworks go off to sort instrumentals that signify each of the five major countries, England, Ireland, France, Germany, and Italy. Then they play "The Garden of Light" song, and original song written and produced for the park specifically, and once it comes to an end is the grand finale as is with all fireworks.

Supposedly the fireworks are choreographed for the music.

Does anybody know if the singer in the Illuminights song famous, or just a park singer?

Killarney Kommotion et al. Poster child for what is wrong with the park and direction these days.

I say supposedly because they don't always seem to line up to the music like they should.

For anyone still up or those who will wake up and read this, based on Killarney Kommotion I have one simple phrase to describe it: Jack is Back mixed with Monster Stomp Revamped.

Also going on to say, performers will be *flying* in this show somewhat.

 

[b.mac]

What?

 

[chickenking]

The kids will LOVE it!!

So what you're saying is NO pumpkins or cleavage?!?
No flying melons? Oh dear...

I think Cody & I called it on earlier posts about STOMP...flying around on bungees & banging $h!utz.

 

[Party Rocker]

The previous reference was regarding music selection, to be a bit more clear.

 

[b.mac]

That still doesn't help me wrap my head around how horrible of an idea this show looks to be. *Flying* performers is just another pea to the pod.

 

[BGWScream]

No flying monkeys?

This will be my first Illuminights and I was really looking forward to it. This news just keeps bring my excitement level down.

 

[AlpenChrist97]

I went to the park for a few hours yesterday and took some photos of the Illuminights decorations that are up around the park.

 

[Zachary]

Thanks for the pictures!

Although, we'd all prefer not to look at any of that...
