When I was watching this live, I was so surprised at how much was going on at one time. Because fireworks were happening past the tower, pictures and things on the buildings that line International Street and on the entrance plus laser lights and things in the fountains. My FAVORITE night show at ANY park I've been to. Yes, it beat Happily Ever After at Magic Kingdom
Kings Island really honored their 50 year history in 2022 with this night time production every night complete with drones, flames and so many park history references. Disney level quality here. Kings Island is NOW one of the best amusement parks in the nation and has another great 50 years ahead I'm sure.
I miss splash Mountain because I always listened to the songs on that ride and sang one song that I knew on that ride on the falling down called Zip Dee Doo Dah Here’s how it goes Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Zip-a-dee-ay! My oh my, what a wonderful day! Welcoming back Brer Rabbit today. We always knew that he'd get away! He's had enough of movin' on now. It's where he's born and bred in. The briar patch is where he's headin'. Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Zip-a-dee-ay! Wonderful feeling, wonderful day! Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Zip-a-dee-ay! My oh my, what a wonderful day! Plenty of sunshine heading our way. We never doubted he'd get away! Moving on taught him a lesson. You've learned it well, Brer Rabbit. Gettin' caught's a nasty habit. Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Zip-a-dee-ay! Wonderful feeling, feeling this way! Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Zip-a-dee-ay! It's a time for celebratin' today! Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Zip-a-dee-ay! Gathered together this wonderful day! Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Zip-a-dee-ay! Brer Fox and Brer Bear are gonna get it today. Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Zip-a-dee-ay! That hungry gator's gettin' his way! Mr. Bluebird on my shoulder. It's the truth, it's actual. Everything is satisfactual. Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Zip-a-dee-ay! Wonderful feelling, wonderful day! Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Zip-a-dee-ay! My oh my what a wonderful day!
I just asked a cast member and they said that DVC and Genie+ members can get a front row seat to Fantasmic with marshmallows and a stick. (Btw this is a joke don’t take it personal)
The water filter under the fox started working, the lights look much brighter than when I went a few weeks ago, they really wanted to put on one last show for many people. #ripsplashmountain
The lift might have broken mid show so they switch to b mode. Disney is usually “if you can run it and nothing will break further or no one can get hurt, go for it.” The other option of not running might have left guest dissatisfied, and the dragon was fine at this performance.
@@thattheatrenerd1418 if it were minor issues I’d understand but not only we’re there multiple issues but the following show would be the last Fantasmic we saw until this Friday
So the b mode here is if the lift on the stage floor on Tom’s island isn’t working. They can pretty much switch the whole show on the click of a button for almost everything if that particular thing will be an issue. The show runs on a timecode (most of the tech is automated to run on time with the music.) but an operator is always there as backup and to switch to a backup file if they need (in this case the floor lift wasn’t gonna work so the stage manager made the call to the automation and light crew to switch to its b mode (lights focus differently onto the Mickey ontop the mountain, they don’t trigger the pyro, lift does not move.)
