    I'm guessing not. They would be a lot bigger than Nighttime Spectacular Drones correct?

    Do Dragon-shaped drones count?

    jrhwdwMar 13, 2025

    Have Drones returned to USF yet after the Orlando Accident? Is EU planning anything with Drones? They haven't shown up in the Fireworks Testing.

    Was hoping drones would be returning somewhere on property this summer, something else nighttime entertainment wise besides Starlight at MK, but I’m pretty sure we would have heard something by now.

    Nothing like the summer. But the summer was such a cluster that it may have negatively impacted businesses - just based on my personal perceptions. Getting to west end businesses was downright impossible for extended periods. Salt and straw and everglazed likely loved the business after shows, but I can't imagine the M&M store loved having all access to it choked off by a rabid crowd of 5,000

    Yeah curious how crowds at DS have been since the show’s run and post holidays

    It just feels like this show will not return. Disney already promoting summer offerings (Starlight, Villains show, Mermaid Show) on their site. They are also indicating a summer deal, potentially Disney Visa card is coming very soon. I know the show was an operations nightmare, but I just have to imagine food and merch will be way down.

    Yup! Most don’t seem to be daily, but there’s many examples of drone shows at zoos!

    Starship824Sep 03, 2024

    In theory it sounds great however apparently the drones might still be too loud for the Animals. I'm not sure though. Have any other zoos or theme parks with Animal exhibits done drone shows?

    That’s why it goes to AK, have a barge near the BBQ, put your flamethrowers and Roman candles interdispersed with fountains (because that’s all you can do at AK) closer to the stadium. Boom great show.

    Starship824Sep 03, 2024

    Because there's no place to launch the drones without them going over guests unlike unless you put them on a barge, but then how do you balance that with the pyro, do you have to cover the drones? Honestly I don't know.

    That's where I mean, the Skyliner runs with a view of the back of the Italy, America, Japan. I don't really know why it is safe on the Disney Spring's lagoon but not on World Showcase lagoon.

    Starship824Sep 03, 2024

    It wouldn't have to be near that you could do it on the other side near AA like where they did the big finally for 4th of July this year.

    Chef idea Mickey`=Sep 03, 2024

    Imagine how close view that be from the Skyliner. I'm not sure if they can with employee space behind and whether or not the skyliner is far enough that it can.
