No Fireworks - four nights running

Kevy Baby · 11-22-2005, 07:56 AM

The Fireworks have been cancelled four nights in a row from what I understand, last night being the fourth night. However, they do spew out the snow - I guess as a consolation.

Cancellation has been due to the winds. They must be experiencing winds at higher altitudes because it was dead calm on the ground at DL last night (except for the short gust from the collective "awwww" when the announcement was made).

Same announcement and reaction on Sunday night. But at least there was snow.

Wow, this is beyond lame. They finally go back to an every-night fireworks schedule, only to have it cancelled for the better part of an entire week!

Maybe it's punishment for going all Christmassy before Thanksgiving. I predict that the fireworks-snow combo will return nightly after Turkey Day.

Do they announce the cancellation at the last minute? After people have been waiting for 3 hours?

They usually wait until the last minute to calcel because they have no idea until right before the start if the winds are going to cooperate. There have been plenty of time that they've been able to go ahead with the pyro at the last minute.

Yeah, I figured, it's just a bummer.

Those are the nights when I walk by the Castle and do my best Nelson impersonation... HAHA!

This is the thing I fear for January -- no fireworks.

Not Afraid · 11-22-2005, 04:33 PM

Hopefully, by January, these damn winds will have flown the coop.

If you want to be super geeky you can watch for the baloon release and see how wildly afar the small white baloon goes. You can call the fireworks yourself before the announcement is made.
