50th Fireworks Testing!!!!!!

[Disguy]

I just can't wait to see this show in person. Thanks for the updates everyone! If that video had music along with it I may of shed a tear

[MegarooFifi]

OOO! That looks awesome!! Thanks so much for the link... I'm getting really excited about our trip later this year now...

I am downloading it. I Maybe I will see it sometime around May 5th at the rate my dial-up is going.

Wow, Icannot wait for the summer I think I will make a stop in May.I cannot wait. Thanks to those who shared this!! I really appreciate it. Those shots off the Matterhorn are shocking and amazing.

Thanks for the link! I have to admit I'm pretty impressed. I loved how they used the Matterhorn, I can't wait to see it in person.

(Potential) SPOILER ALERT!

If I remember the descriptions correctly from the Cast Blast video, the lingering sparklies are the simulation of the Stretching Room in the Haunted Mansion.

From what I can see on the video, I think that the orange rockets being lobbed from the Matterhorn and back at the Matterhorn is the POTC portion of the show, simulating the battle scene.

Some of them are uninteresting without a storyline nor music to help tell the story.

Eeek, I am planning to go tomorrow with my boyfriend, I so hope they're testing again then! It would be so cool to be there for a pyro test! If I am there I will snap as many photos as I can.

Sure anytime.

I almost cried when I saw the video!!!! I can't wait to go with my DH in Sept. I KNOW I'm going to need some tissue for this one. I think for the vast majority of us this will evoke the emotion of every fireworks show DL has ever had. Can you imagine hearing Julie Andrews and Walt's voice dubbed in with the music we all love. Going to DL for the 50th may very well be the highlight of my personal Disney experience. I'm so excited!!!!

Would be interesting if they did more testing on the 15th and 16th as was said. The park closes at 11 or 12 those nights.. I would be they will hold off and test again starting Monday night. But the pics people are posting now are awesome!!

Actually, it's supposed to represent The Rivers of America and I believe the music track is Oh Sahnnondo (sp?)

[swagdaddy]

My gosh! That is going to be amazing!!!!!!

If the close by residents were not complaining about the smoke before, they really will be after a few months of that!

Wonder if we can get a couple people to stop by to get both a video and the audio. You'd need one person to video tape from the Esplanade and another person to stand near the park entrance to get the music, as they have been playing it on the park-wide system with the fireworks Great show, although I am admittedly surprised that they borrowed from Wishes.
