[Idea] New Fantasmic for 60 years at Disneyland

[Alexshow]

Now I do like the aditions but just thinking out for the 60 year as mabye they could redo the show entirely like a reboot with effects like tokyo disneysea's fantasmic with new things but still using the stage it was on but with more fountains, new scene's excluding the dragon scene, new dragon, and a new ending with some original content and a new story.

Re: New Fantasmic for 60 years at Disneyland

Hmm...I'm interested in seeing some new additions to the show, but not necessarily a bunch of "theft" from DisneySea or Hollywood Studios respectively. To me, Disneyland's rendition, aside from being the original is not only the most superior of the bunch, but also the most memorable. The story especially is something that just has to stay. It's become such a classic amongst park guests that seeing it go'd be kind of a sort of a sad feeling. As a 90's kid, Fantasmic was just about everything awesome wrapped up in a little over twenty minutes at my favorite place thus far on earth. You can't take away that kind of magic.

I'm all for seeing new effects and maybe a new scene or two, just as long as the show isn't cut down in length or made politically correct in someway or form...whatever political incorrectness present in the show there is.

New dragon? We just got a new dragon 3 years ago. Honestly, I think Fantasmic is fine the way it is. There are other things in the park that I would like to see cleaned up for the 60th.(like Tomorrowland)

No way I like are the way it is. I've seen videos of Tokyo's and I hate there verison to me it's like WOC and I'm not a fan of that show either.

Re: New Fantasmic for 60 years at Disneyland

Indeed. Tokyo's is far from being the perfect Fantasmic! Due to its timing in conception, it's naturally going to be more similar to World of Color. Whether that's a good or bad thing depends on the opinion of the viewer.

That is what I thought to. That we got a new dragon not to long ago.

It's still the best thing at Disneyland the way it is.

Re: New Fantasmic for 60 years at Disneyland

Really the only thing I would change is the Ursula segment. If the barge and the eels aren't coming back maybe they could use the new projection technology from Ghost Galaxy and make it look like Ursula's tentacles are wrapping around Tom Sawyer Island. It feels a little too World of Color the way it is now with a long Ursula water projection scene followed by a long Chernobog one.

No, I've seen a video of Tokyo's Fantasmic! and it looks horrid.

Re: New Fantasmic for 60 years at Disneyland

As far as Fantasmic technology, the only think that needs upgrading are the fountains. To my knowledge, they are original and the lights are still incandescent. At a minimum, they should replace them with LED light rings. I would also like to see some air powered jet nozzles like World of Color.

I'm not a Steve Davison fan...and I fear he has the monopoly on most Disney parks entertainment right now.

IMHO, the best two original-concept shows stand: Disneyland's Fantasmic! and Epcot's Reflections of Earth. Both Davison-free, also both Don Dorsey shows. Whatever happened to Don Dorsey anyway?

Re: New Fantasmic for 60 years at Disneyland

I will say that while the Tokyo version may not have the best segments, I love the effects (besides the dragon head) and I think that Disney Dreams in Paris is really well-done. Some projection-mapping on the island could be very cool if down right.

Re: New Fantasmic for 60 years at Disneyland

What I would want for the 60th is for them to bring back the band that plays on the raft before Fantasmic!

Do not change the soundtrack to Fantasmic, it's perfect.

Agree with this. After seeing WoC, F!'s fountains really look outdated. I really hope we see new stuff, but that would require draining the water and they just did that a couple of years ago. And I don't think TDA is too liberal with their money.

The one thing I do like about Tokyo F! is the ending where during the very last of the finale it says: "Imagination...Imagination..." "Imagination...Imagination..." whereas with CA F! it just has a beat. I like those parts equally in both shows though.


I also with the final battle between Mickey and the dragon was more epic as it is the movie with Prince Phillip. Right now she goes up, breathes fire, does her moves, then Mickey kills her. It would be nice it they took some ideas from Sleeping Beauty and had Mickey battle her some how. Not sure how much would be possible given the limited movements of the AA. Just needs a bit more action rather than just "You make you think you're so powerful, well this is my dream!" It's nice yea, but a little battle couldn't hurt IMO.

Re: New Fantasmic for 60 years at Disneyland

Please no "Imagination...Imagination..." "Imagination...Imagination..." I can barely last through their version yet alone trying to not laugh at the fact that they are saying it so fast that it sounds like they are avoiding having their accent heard which blatantly obvious now.

Now I do like the aditions but just thinking out for the 60 year as mabye they could redo the show entirely like a reboot with effects like tokyo disneysea's fantasmic with new things but still using the stage it was on but with more fountains, new scene's excluding the dragon scene, new dragon, and a new ending with some original content and a new story.

Knowing Disney they will start charging for it!! Figure out some way to kick everybody out by 8pm then charge everyone $100 to come back in to see it.

Re: New Fantasmic for 60 years at Disneyland

All the lands could use a refresh (TL needs a redo not just a refresh). They only thing I would touch is to upgrade the fountains and the lighting effects. The rest of the show is perfect. At least it does not run on like DHS does.

I would bring back the pre-bands or even maybe through the high school or college education programs. It would give TDA anotherthing the could advertise for the press. If anything for the 60th just give us a good parade (Soundsational should be on its way out by that point) (and no parade like WD parade of Dreams, please). Hey who knows by that point maybe the Next Gen will be gone.

With all the changes you suggest, new scenes (no '), new ending, new story. It wouldn't be Fantasmic!

Re: New Fantasmic for 60 years at Disneyland

I agree, DL Fantasmic! has the best storyline, and I would really love to have the jazz band playing on the rafts before the show.
I have been to Tokyo Disney Sea before, and their Fantasmic isn't nearly as good as ours! However, DL's show really needs some new scenes
