Gosh, I can't explain how excited I am to see this show. This new nighttime spectacular taking place in Disney's California Adventure's Paradise Bay, is going to pack the crowds in. The roughly 25 minute show is going to take viewers on basically, an emotional roller coaster. The show takes emotions, and portrays them through color. I've got some people who update me every so often with news on what's been tested recently, and how things work, and I have to say, this show technology-wise, is crazy!

A short summary of some cool stuff that's in the show:

- Projection Domes - waterproof white domes that rise up, and tilt 90 degrees, with projectors on the inside, allowing for circular objects like a jellyfish, or planet to come to life.

- Flame Whips - basically a flame thrower, with the ability to rotate in a 360 degree circle, and can tilt 55 degrees.

- Blow Pops - fountains that shoot 200 feet in the air.

- Butterfly fountains. - eight fountains, four on each side, rise and fall in a wing like motion.

And that's just some of it. There's also water chasers, water whips, water screens, lasers, LED's, and so much more. This show is going to be so visually stunning. And here's some photos from testing of the show, and a clip of testing the fountains. There's been no official opening date yet, but expect a late Spring opening. My guess is Mid April to early May. But just like the parks, it's always subject to change without notice.
