And believe me, I don't mind playing hardball from time to time when I need to
I'm working on uploading some pics to photobucket now, and will share some very soon. I got a few video clips too (very short, my camera only takes 10 secs at a time) - that might help get the idea across a little bit.
Just as a background for the rest of the guys who may or may not know what it is...
World of Color is an all-new (June 2010) water, laser, pyrotechnic show at
California Adventure. It is about a 23 minute show that uses over 1200 fountains, and is truly a technical marvel. I had seen the entire show after it opened on
youtube, but wow - there's just NOTHING like seeing it in person. Plus as I said earlier, I was in the very FRONT row, literally separated from the water only by a chest high fence.
The show's name is inspired from the old Walt Disney's World of Color tv program on Sunday nights (one of several iterations of that show that was originally named "
Disneyland" and started to air in 1954 on ABC to help Walt introduce the concept of his theme park to the nation - but later renamed several times. World of Color was the name when tv was transforming from B&W to Color) and actually starts using the original narration from that show. It incorporates practically 80% of Disney's animated film arsenal, plus some snips/clips from the Pirates films, etc. There was a cool Tron "tag" at the end as well, advertising the new film. If you like Fantasmic, this is 95x cooler. Because the entire show is run via computer, with no human actors, etc - it can be reprogrammed and updated relatively quickly. It has been so very popular this year since it opened, they're now talking about change outs for Christmas, Halloween etc to add additional interest. That will be pretty cool too, IMO.
