Fantasmic Surprise

[carlbarry]

I've seen Fantasmic probably 30 times, and all but maybe 4 times in the first row center.
At the beginning of the show and at the end, there are water cannons that go off towards the audience.
My experience has always been that the water drops off into the lake, and does not hit the audience.
However, when I saw the show a few weeks ago, I noticed to my left people seemed to get wet.
And then at the end when the cannons went off I looked up and above my head was a load of water, which proceeded to soak me and my neighbors.
Is this normal? Like I said, in my experience it never happened before. Were they adjusted to do this because it was a hot day?
Thanks.

We almost always sit front and center and have never had that soaking you got at the end but we have seen the audience get soaked on the sides from those blasts of water. I always think it is the wind that causes it to happen. We always laugh when it hits those people over toward the sides except the one time we sat there lol. Luckily it stopped short of us that time.

Yes, depending on the winds, guests in the first few rows of the theatre can get wet and sometimes, very wet.

Yes, it is normal. As I recall there has always been a warning that the first few rows could get wet. It's usually not a total soaking like that, but it's always possible.

I e always seem a bunch of people I. The front rows wearing ponchos “just in case”.

I'd say 90% of the time I get slightly wet from the mist from the water projections. But I never got drenched before from the water cannons.
