  1. Thanks for update!
    I had low expectations for this show but it´s even worse. All aspects of the show are unrelated and a waist of tallent. The clips, fountain, firework and projections are distracting and boring. I had a hard time to watch the video to the end.
    I love Universal but this is a nighttime show I won´t wait for to see.

  2. OT – you are nuts. I saw this in person yesterday. Beautiful ! the fountains, projection, lights and fireworks compliment the main video. Which is projected on sheets of water dropping.

    The video clips from Universal films was moving – you can’t judge this show from video clips. Compared to the Epcot show, this blows it away. Epcot earth video is so far away and disconnected. Flame is lame. World of Color is a better show than Uni’s but I don’t think the budget’s compare. And much better than the sphere show uni had prior.
    I enjoy very much.
