This fireworks show is SOOO tremendously better than Fantasmic, and I haven't even been there to see it in person. But from where I live, its BIG. There is no way anyone should pick F! Over it. You can see it any other time or come back another night, but if you like night time shows, see the fireworks. There are very very few effects in F!, just a few streamers at the very end. If there is nothing else to see going on at HS, why not sit down for F!, but if there IS (like all summer or Star Wars) then definitely see that. I think the first time I get to see these in person will probably be Thursday. But they are so good from where I live, I'm totally happy watching them from here. That means they are as big as Star Wars. And that means its so worth seeing!
