Is the "fire" back at Illuminations?

[musicmama]

We went during Christmas and the fire cannon was still down. Plus the narration was missing. It was disappointing compared to the times we have seen it before.

Any updates? I looked earlier and didn't find anything posted. DD and I are going in August and will probably skip if the fire is still MIA.

Many thanks.

All back in early Feb.

We saw the show twice during our March trip and the first time it was there, but missing the next time.

Yes, there are isolated shows when certain of the effects are not performed.
For instance, the "ring" of fireworks that are fired (usually two times in each performance) from around the perimeter of the lagoon, are sometimes cancelled under windy conditions.

But the "Inferno Barge" was completely MISSING for a very long period of time starting last year because it EXPLODED and was seriously damaged.

Fortunately the explosion did not happen during an IllumiNations show and no CM was injured (from the info I had.)

It was repaired and returned to "explode" (on-cue and under controlled conditions) in Feb. this year.

It was back 2 weeks ago. We saw the show in Oct, without the barge. It is definately better with the barge.

Is that what that was??? When DH and I were Disneymooning in 2004 we were staying at the BW with a gorgeous view of the Globe. All of a sudden while we were watching a movie we saw a huge explosion. We thought there had been an accident at the park! lol

That was probably the nightly propane burn-off, which usually happens around 10:30 pm or so (not sure if they do it during evening EMH). They even have an in-park announcement for it.
