Rainbow Glasses in International News
 
The rainbow glasses enhanced Disneyland experience has made it's way around the world! What hath Steve wrought?

From e-Travel Blackboard: Asia's "Number One" Industry Newsletter -
Quote:

As the brilliant Christmas lights are turned on throughout the Park, special hologram glasses will give guests extraordinary Christmas vision, and delightful patterns will appear when guests watch the Sparkling Castle Lights, the white glittering Christmas tree and even the Disney in the Stars fireworks display.
Well done!:iSm:

Didn't MGM have those glasses one year for the Osborne's lights, before they dances?

flippyshark 11-25-2007 07:49 AM

The Studios had those for a number of years, back when the Spectacle of Lights was on the now-just-a-memory Residential Street. I suspect they were dropped for budgetary reasons.

Residential Street was the only really effective venue for SOL (love that acronym). Walking down that street, it really felt like visiting a suburban neighborhood that had gone completely bonkers with the holiday decor. on the other hand, putting those millions of lights on the New York Street facades just feels like a theme park that put up a bunch of lights. The sense of taking a journey is gone, and there is little charm to the spectacle as it now stands.

I still have a pair of those hologram glasses in a drawer somewhere.

When do I get my cut?

Cadaverous Pallor 11-25-2007 11:55 AM

Hmm, from the description it seems they're not prismatic rainbow glasses, but more like these -

Awesomness.

innerSpaceman 11-25-2007 12:30 PM

Yes, exactly. Fireworks glasses. My patented fireworks glasses have always been separate from my patented Space Mountain glasses.

Fireworks glasses produce images of snowflakes, or Noel, or - best of all - Stars of David - on every piece of flaming pyrotechnic. We used to use them quite a bit during holiday fireworks in years past. Should I bring them out again??




And I still want my cut. :p

mousepod 11-25-2007 01:12 PM

I remember seeing the Osborne lights in 2002, and the glasses distributed then turned the lights in little angels...

Alex 11-25-2007 01:37 PM

Yeah, I think those (leftovers from a WDW visit) were the same glasses I first used at Disneyland. Can't remember the year though.

innerSpaceman 11-25-2007 07:43 PM

Oh sure -- all the years I come down for my birthday and most of y'all are too busy, but the one year I don't it's a swanktacular with glasses. :p ;)

Not Afraid 11-25-2007 08:05 PM

Well, that's why we're doing it then, of course. ;)

Prudence 11-25-2007 08:35 PM

I'm feelin' the love, lemme tell you. :P

Not Afraid 11-25-2007 08:42 PM

Well, then, get your butt on a plane. You've got a puppy to visit - not to mention Calliope.

Prudence 11-25-2007 10:02 PM

I so need to win the lottery. Why couldn't I have won one of those YOAMD thingies?

BarTopDancer 11-25-2007 10:31 PM

I will be in Lost Wages Vegas that weekend - but I'll don my own rainbow glasses and look at all the pretty lights and designs and sing a song. Or something.

blueerica 11-25-2007 10:45 PM

I should be free on the 16th...

Hrmmm...

And of course BTD would be gone... grr

BarTopDancer 11-25-2007 10:52 PM

How about the 9th?

Not Afraid 11-25-2007 10:56 PM

I can't do it the 9th.

RStar 11-25-2007 11:55 PM

I got some of the holografic ones at Angeles Stadium right after they re-opened it after the remodel (don't remember the year). I also bought some of the Christmas one (like Steve mentioned) with the Noel, snowflakes, etc. from Albertsons about 5 years ago. I still have them all. They are cool!

Cadaverous Pallor 11-26-2007 08:20 AM

16th would be doable for us

BarTopDancer 11-26-2007 09:40 AM

22nd or 23rd? I'm going to be completely bummed if I miss the goodbye Erica DL swanking :(

wolfy999 11-26-2007 10:27 AM

16th works well for the the Wolfpack...Wolfette is busy that day and we could actually join you guys for some swanking!

NirvanaMan 11-26-2007 11:25 AM

I saw some kids whipping out rainbow glasses last time I rode Space Mountain. The trend has started. Alas, soon it will be time to abandon. They will be selling rainbow glasses at every Gap and Louis Vuitton.

mousepod 11-26-2007 11:53 AM

Actually, it would be cool if they sold rainbow glasses outside of SM - hell, they make a mint on rain ponchos sold on the queue for the one water ride in DAK!

innerSpaceman 11-26-2007 12:46 PM

I'm good on the 16th, but I could also do the following weekend. Either way, I will bring Rainbow Glasses for all ... and a much smaller collection of Fireworks Glasses, that will have to be either shared or divied up by random bacon trivia quiz.



But, um, we should make a thread for the Disneyland Christmas Swanking. Not many people will know to look in here for that information.

Which I see you have done!

Not Afraid 11-26-2007 08:11 PM

I have.

Babette 11-26-2007 09:29 PM

They sell star, snowflake, santa, snowman, etc. glasses at Lowe's for $2.

Don't worry , I won't be there to cause any drama on the 16th.
