About time! Article in today's Sentinel.

It's been discussed quite a lot recently on the Universal forums, mixed views as apparently some of the locals who live near the parks are not that pleased.

 

[Miffy2003]

I'm pleased to see this!

That's like the people that live near Alton Towers complaining about the noise and conviniently forgetting about the jobs and revenue it brings into the area. Or those that buy houses near airports and then complain about the planes. If you don't like amusements parks or airports don't buy properties next to them!

Or is this a too simplistic view?!

Hi just wandered if you could tell us a little more about the Universal forums as I wasn't aware that they existed.

Thanks Joanne

The universal forums are here on The Dis. Just scroll down when you are on the main forum page and you will see them.

I would like to know if this show will be seasonal as we go in September and i would love to see it.

This looks excellent

Thanks for that, I'm still getting used to the site and obviously don't look very well.


Thanks again

Ive been reading about this fireworks show, it sounds quite exciting. I wonder if it will be able to top wishes for me which is my number one fireworks show. I will just have to wait till my August trip

 

[Frances999]

Thanks for the link, Deb. It looks great - I love the sound of them playing movie clips on those big spheres. Can't wait to see this next year.

Or maybe these complainers lived in that area before the theme park was built or Universal deceided to set fireworks off every night. Remember when fireworks were exclusively the preserve of Guy Fawkes Night, that was OK, but now from November 5th through until New Year you hear fireworks every night. I don't know about you, but it gets right on mine I'll tell you.

It sounds fantastic. I cant wait will this be all year round every night. Why did we have to put our holiday off until Ocxtober 07

All the info we currently have is that the new show will be in peak seasons only. It will run for the summer season, and possibly Halloween and Thanksgiving, and almost certainly Christmas. But it looks like the off-peak months will not get the benefit of this big finale, sadly. We will know more when we re-visit Universal next week for a full up-date.

What time is it on? Park closing?
