Rivers of America looked great when we where there last week, the Sailing Ship Columbia looked great also . ; It looked really good during Fantasmic, it was awesome to see it used during the show. ; I did not realize it was used for Fantasmic and the way it is introduced during the show I thought was very dramatic. Alice was open the first two days we where there, but closed down on Friday the 16th.
You didn't know that about DL's Fantasmic!?? ; That's one of the big reasons it's so special - you can ride on the ship(s) during the day, and walk around the stage as well....and then it transforms after the sun goes down.....
I did not, what a great surprise. The only downside to DL's Fantasmic is the viewing situation, same with World of Color. ; Tough on kids and short people if you don't get there early.
