No Tink in FireWorks show tonight 5/9/05

[Crazy Legs]

Tonight I saw the firework show and there was no tink. Thought I would Share.

I'm so glad you posted, I'm sure that I was just slowly loosing it when the show ended and I hadn't seen tink. I wonder why she wasn't there?

[Modern Folly]

I heard somewhere that she got sick, or something, but wouldn't they have a replacement??

[Disney Analyst]

They should have it on shifts, like one week is one tink, one week is another. Or every other day is a different tink etc...

[MiceMan]

Was it windy tonight or anything? That would make sense ....

[Disney Analyst]

If it was too windy for tink, I'm sure they wouldnt be able to do the fireworks

I'm about 40 miles away from Anaheim and it has been REALLY windy here this evening. Kicked up at around 8:30 and all is quite now. Don't know if it carried over to Anaheim though.

Wouldn't wind affect the fireworks too?

and there she goes, tinks wings are on fire!

Well, I know for a long time that there was only one tinkerbell- It was a family of russian acrobats, I believe that performed the role, passed on down the line (at least, this is what I have been told, correct me if I am wrong). It is a pretty specialized sort of performance requiring some special skills that are probably not too common. I know while I worked there, I only ever saw one.

That stinks that she wasn't there- hopefully there is more than one person trained to do this.

Well, now that it's just a pully system, it's not hard to do. I know on stage and in theater they use pully's for flying people all the time. Look at aladdin for instance in the hyperion! They use pullys for the jump etc...

[dramaqueen]

well, before, she smacked into a mattress at about 40 miles an hour! Not hard to do either, but I doubt the average person could do that every night I assure you it takes practice

[dlrfanatic]

I believe they had problems with the wires because two of them were not tight.

[Morrigoon]

Looked like it was a last-minute decision because the follow spots still went - though those I suppose could be electronic and computer controlled

[robotpirates]

Well it did rain earlier today. That might have to do with something.

[Crazy Legs]

Who knows I was so waiting for it. i love tink. Well theres always next time......
Who wants to go to the park soon???? I know i do.

[GuardianDragon_Mushu]

"Ohh, lookout! Tink's goin' down, PULL UP, TINK!!!"

Sorry, MST3k Movie moment. :lol:

I doubt there would be many brave soals that could fit into the dress

I know they were posting for Tink auditions a few weeks ago... I'd hope they have a squadron of them.

Wait a minute... Tink isn't REAL??!??

Tink auditions? Was it for the high wire act, or a face CM? They now have a Tink on one of the floats. Im rather sure that they would state SOMETHING in the add if it was the high wire Tink. Like "Requires; No fear of hights" or SOMETHING.
