Debate over fireworks

[rsjj]

hi disboards family. Pls settle a debate in our household...

Where do they shoot their fireworks off of? Is it off the boat? Or off a barge somewhere in the ocean away from the boat?

I know...first world problems...but thanx for any help in settling this debate for us...

Off the boat

Off the boat

Where off the boat? Do you know?

 

[perditax]

The top?

 

[rsjj]

The top?

Haha...from one of the smoke stacks?

It is definitely off the ship. I've read it's from the roof of Palo but I'm not 100% certain on that.

Off the ship.
At least on the Dream it is by the closed off kids pool area, I have seen CMs setting it up.

Don't know exactly but definitely from the aft area of the ship.

Off the aft of Palo and on the new ships from forward near satellite falls. Both slightly starboard.

They are fired by compressed air from a deck aft, (generally forward of the Palo area.) I know they are fired from the Starboard side, but they could also be firing them on the portside.

Disney developed the system and arranged approval from the various international ship regulatory agencies, including the USCG. Funny as it may sound on of the hardest things to get approved was how they were to be handled as they were loaded onboard the vessel. Storage was relatively easy as the vessel already had pyrotechnics onboard the vessel for emergency situations.

The only other line I know of that has fireworks now is NCL on 1 or 2 vessel, they copied Disney's system, which is apparently quite legal.

I agree with MJ, kinda curious who won the debate?
