DW fantasmic

[Mickey Man]

Im not sure if this has been asked before but does anyone know where I could find a video of the WDW fantasmic. I checked wdwinfo.com but I couldnt find it.

[Mousekiteer]

If I were you, I wouldn't go there. It stinks. *Shudders.*
(Mousetimes.com has a video though.)

[Mickey Man]

I heard it was bad but that was kinda why I wanted to see it. thanks for the info.

[barfownz]

you can probably search www.google.com (http://www.google.com)

[GreenLantern13]

I do have a video of it that I've let people download off me before on here. If you PM me I'll give you a link so that I don't get lots of anonymous people downloading it.

[Mickey Man]

thanks but I just watched it off of the mousetimes link and it was OK. DL has a way better show but to tell ya the truth it was better than I thought it would be. I was expecting only a 15 minute show but it turned out to be nearly 30. one of the things that drops it from a 8 to a 6 or 7 is no peter pan ship.

Geofferynease.com has one but its about 430MB :icon_shoc

What's difference between WDW's fantasmic and DL's fantasmic. I mean come on, people who live in Florida says that WDW's fantasmic is better than the one in disneyland. Also that the people who live in california said that Our DL's fantasmic is better. People argue which is better and which is more prettier.

By the way i never watch WDW fantasmic. In fact i have never been to Walt Disney World, Florida.

They are both awesome. Though Disney World needs to cut down on the animation and get more pyrotechnics.

The people I've talked to who have seen both have ALL said that Disneyland's is better, but they really liked the no hassle stadium seating of Disney World. to my recollection, every one of them have said that. I couldn't tell you exactly how many people I've talked to about it, but it's at least a dozen, probably closer to 20.

That stadium seating IS nice, but there is just something more magical about seeing the Rivers Of America transformed by Disney Magic. The nice serene little river that you've walked by several times minimum throughout the day and have really kind of taken for granted suddenly has Dancing monkeys, and Pinocchio, and snakes, and princesses, and dragons and queens turning into hags, and Peter Pan fighting Captain Hook... 13 years later, it's STILL the best show at Disneyland.

I wish they could at least have some stadium seating come up from underground an hour before the show starts, like the lighting tech's booth and the lighting does.

[GreenLantern13]

The coolest effect in the show for me involves that whole rivers of america setting, right from the very beginning. The lights are kind of a dimmer but still on and the hum gets louder and BAM the entire riverfront is pitch black with the spotlight shooting into the sky. They designed that perfectly and I think it's the coolest thing ever. In a stadium it wouldn't be as cool to me it'd be expected.

[Fantasmic_Freak]

The lighting/pyrokill/thingtohidebehind techs booth is rolled out from the pirates ride, and the towers are raised up. i was wishing for that too! But wouldnt work because of the amount of bleachers or seating needed. Pllus iw wouldnt be good show, and then they would have to hide the stage because of trap doors and open pits, lights and actor marks, all of which are bad show from the audince point of view, for me, its awesome show =op

[Mousekiteer]

Also to remind, they have an... interesting steamboat. :icon_roll

[Evan-500]

It's just so intimate and cool. One minute your on that island, walking on the very stage there doing fantasmic, soaring down the river on the columbia, and all of a sudden, the rivers a blaze, mickey mouse appears on stage, lights come out of stage, dragon comes out, witch transforms, pirates, and characters on mark twain! One minute it's a normal place, the next it's an amazing spectacular! Mickey appears on the top of the roof, where during the day, it was just a roof! That's what I like about DL's version, it unfolds all before you, the island transforms, where as in WDW's your in a stadium, you know somethings gonna happen.. But if you stumble on the show in DL, and you saw the island before hand, your like WOW! The island transformed! It's just so cool!

u have to click media and sounds on page 3 or 4 is fantasmic ok

[arrowfanman]

Well, the stadium isn't as intamate, but neither are the traffic control CM's barking at you at Disneyland!

Personally, I heard both soundtracks before seeing any of the shows. I have seen the Disneyland show, but not the WDW one. My biggest complaint, was that the show is too dependent on the water screens (the creativity, innovation, and all around newness of them wore off about 1/2 way through the show), so if the WDW is even more dependent on them, then I bet that I will like the Disneyland one more.

However, the WDW show (according to the soundtrack) stays closer to what I believe the intended story of what Fantasmic is supposed to be. The symoblism and flow if the show are more evident in the WDW show. I feel that the Disneyland show has a bit more holes in it.

[PeoplemoverMatt]

^ You get guest control CMs barking at you at WDW too. They weren't exactly quiet as we were all herded up that hill to the stadium. WDW's Fantasmic! is TONS more dependent on the water screens. There are several points where DL is watching something live while WDW is watching random characters doing their movie thing on the water screens. And what flow exactly are you talking about for WDW Fantasmic!? IMO WDW Fantasmic! was utterly devoid of flow. Things like the Jafar snake have nothing at all to do with anything & it's such a drawn out scene with such a silly ending. DL's Fantasmic! might not make 100% sense, but everything does flow together. Oh, and our dragon is 3 villians, not 8. :tongue:

[Hyperion 77]

Not to be mean if you like WDW's Fantasmic show, but thier steamboat kind of looks like a floating box.

[ScaryTrees]

I actually like the WDW version better even if they are too dependent of the water screens and I think the Jafar scene is kinda cool and their steamboat is supposed to look like an actual steamboat and I think its better that at the end that Sorcerer Micky is on top of a mountain than a roof

[PeoplemoverMatt]

Ok and the Mark Twain is meant to look like a ... microwave? :tongue: Sorcerer Mickey's on the top of their little mountain, ok, great, that doesn't really forgive the immense amount of suckiness leading up to that scene.

-- Peoplemover "Why is that mountain even there in the first place?" Matt

[GreenLantern13]

That mountain makes sorcerer mickey so high and far away. And I don't like the flares at the end they do because of it. The just sort of shoot off to the side just sort of launching off the sides and clearly a stage show away from you. Disneylands shoot up and criss cross but more importantly it's all in your face.

[Fantasmic!kid]

Hey, WDW is not that bad. I mean seriously, they both are good. you guys have a bigger rivers of america and the columbia.

[Mousekiteer]

What amuses me is apparently WDW's version is supposed to have a plot.
So... ten minutes of villian displays is... plot... Whatever floats you small steamboat then.

Personally, I think there are scenes in their version which I consider a waste of time. The bubbles montage, for instance. If I wanted to take a small nap during the show, that would be it.

[Disneyland_Wolf]

DL's fantasmic is not a waste of time. The water scenes are not that long as WDW's.

[GreenLantern13]

Kudos to wdw on having a "rained out" show though. A little mini-version of fantasy waters and then some of the fireworks thrown in.

Well, yeah we are a little drowned out on that bit. I'm going to get my three videos and multi-edit them. So maybe even WDW will look good.

When I said 'waste of time', I was referring to WDW's. Kthnx.

[jbuck]

but but but but they dont have the "no one is watching us dance" peter pan or the puppets and to many anamated sceans and not enough dancing monkeys.

[PeoplemoverMatt]

It'll need more than that! :icon_lol:

IT'S HOPELESS! I LIVE IN SOUTH CAROLINA PEOPLE! ITS THE BEST WE HAVE! I'M NEVER GOING TO DISNEYLAND IN THE NEXT MILLENIUM! I WANNA GO TO DISNEYLAND:icon_cry:

[Disneyland_Wolf]

I feel sorry for you Fantasmic!kid. At least you can watch the ride videos of Disneyland and the audio. Don't worry, you will go to Disneyland soon.

[Fantasmic!kid]

Thanks.:icon_lol:
