Re: Believe...In Holiday Magic Testing?

Who was it last year that had the live webcam feed from a hotel of the test firing? That was a lot of fun to watch together and all comment on. Anyone have the capability to pull that off this year?

here you go.

Anymore word on possible testing this week?

Re: Believe...In Holiday Magic Testing?

Most likely they will be testing the show next week with just the music, no pyro. They will be programming the lights in the snow of the Castle to work in the show, I would guess. They can do that with just the music.

I am actually wondering will they even use the lights in the snow during the fireworks. Seems like it would not fit with the show they have had in the past. It would only work extremely well during the snowfall at the end, of course. But during the show, guess time will tell. The press releases were a bit confusing on that.

^ It could be different this year, too, now with the new lighting effects on the castle.

Usually, 7:45 pm

Believe... plays every night while it runs.

Yes, if the park closes at 8 PM , or the 2 days it closes at 6 PM for CM parties, the fireworks start 15 minutes prior to closing. (It is scheduled every night during the Christmas schedule, aka 7 days a week).

WEATHER PERMITTING!!!!

That is an important fact, as many days in November and December the wind picks up...

If there is no rain (aka moisture), and no high winds, they you get both, which should happen most days.

If there is rain, but the winds are OK, then you get the fireworks, but no snow, as the snow is basically glycerin, which is a soap based product that could become slippery on the ground.

If there are High winds, but no rain, then you get no fireworks, but they still offer the Snow effect by itself.

And on a really bad weather day, then both parts are cancelled.

Will the preview days include the new castle light show? I was a bit sad to find out that I won't get out of the Snow White showing in DCA until just after the new Holiday Fireworks premiere...maybe I could see it during the week??

Re: Believe...In Holiday Magic Testing?

It'll be Remember... on Sunday night (11/11), weather permitting

[1FoolishMortal]

Re: Believe...In Holiday Magic Testing?

So instead of Remember on Veteran's Day, they'll be showing Believe?? I don't recall them doing this in the past....especially 4 days in a row. That is unless this year's will need to go through much more testing with the new castle and everything else.

Re: Believe...In Holiday Magic Testing?

There is scheduled testing every night of the week leading up to it. Monday through Thursday at the regular showtime.
It may or may not go off, and the schedule will be sporadic, but it's planned.

[greinstein]

Since Believe...In Holiday Magic fireworks start next weekend (11-16), does anyone know if there is any scheduled testing?

In past years it was fun to see a "preview."
