CASTLE50THTEILIGHT, originally uploaded by laughograms.

As most of my friends know, I have seen a LOT of Disney pyrotechnics over the years, and except for Illuminations at EPCOT I have never seen anything like the 50th Anniversary spectacular they run each night at Disneyland during this celebration. The theme is Disneyland itself, and Tinkerbell comes swooping through the air "igniting" the various lands of Disneyland. Then there are specific pyrotechnics, castle lighting and projections for specific rides -- huge fireballs for Indiana Jones, eerie lighting and a great "shrinking room" effect for the Haunted Mansion, lasers and blaster fire for Star Tours, all of it exactly timed to the music from the various rides played with excellent stereo imaging wherever you're standing. These guys are the best in the business at large-scale experience entertainment and this is one of the best fireworks spectacles you will ever see.
