Summer Nights

[CastleOSullivan]

For anyone that was there Friday 14, did music play with the fireworks?

That's what I referring to. The music did not play during the fireworks on Friday (7-14) at least not in Ireland.

Still?! That's...terrible. It seems like the pyrotechnics team expected a pop music soundtrack the first time. I thought it was a one time glitch, but feared it would carry over to the next Friday. I guess that was the case. You would think that all fireworks efforts went toward All For One's finale. Now those are fireworks!

I tried a fireworks choreography simulator similar to one that the park uses (or at least used to), and it probably took me 10-15 minutes just to get the first blast of fireworks the way I wanted them. I can see how much of a pain it must be to program a full 6-7 minutes worth, but I still wonder why the park is having a constant issue with the music. This wouldn't be the first time in very recent years.

I will say, having been the first weekend and the second weekend of Summer Nights, it's definitely improved since the first weekend. The first weekend seemed really disorganized, but this weekend, everything seemed to work out nicely. I think this is far better than their past summer events. Obviously, there are a few things that can be fixed (I agree on the music being way too obnoxious) but overall, I'm happy with it.

Maybe they'll start playing Handguns

Is summer nights everyday of the week or only the weekends like F&WF?

It's Friday for the fireworks and Saturdays for the concerts not sure if they do anything special for Sundays

Okay so they don't have the Minus 321 or anything open during the week?

The coke ice cream stand was the only thing I saw open extra during the week 2 weeks ago.

They may have changed that. I know Virginia was running on Wednesday 19. Hawaii also looked like it was open, but I saw that when it looked like they were cleaning up.

Hoping to hit our first "Summer Night" this weekend or next dependent on work, we'll definitely be there for the 38 Special concert. Has anyone done the Summer Nights sampler pass and do you think it would be worth it?

I keep meaning to write up our review of the food booths. Given the prices, my short answer is "yes," as long as you are going to buy enough items.

No worries/no rush! Just curious, we won't be able to make it until this weekend or next either way, thanks for the short answer! Looking forward to the write-up

The event should be every night. They play the music at 6pm every night and Minus 321 and the other three food places are open each night.

It's a small event with next to nothing going on most days, not worth the hype IMO outside of Fireworks and Concerts on Fridays and Saturdays.

I hope Coca Cola is paying for the entirety of Summer Nights.

I still think one day the park is going to replace the water in Pompeii with Coke.

 

[Thomas]

That would be crisp and refreshing!

 

[CastleOSullivan]

It has been toned down, but I still hear "Shape of You" every time during the same part of All For One.

This does not entice me to buy more coke products. Exactly the opposite, this just makes me want to boycott any coke products there. I'm sick of this blatant corporate sponsorship bullshit dirtying up "the worlds most beautiful park". I'm fine with water and it's healthier for me.

 

[Merboy]

Oh my god.

Is it April 1st? Is it? It must be because this shit is a goddamn joke.

 

[jornor]

I would not be surprised if "World's Most Beautiful Theme Park" is stripped from BG after all of this. Such a shame
