[quote="Main Streeter"]Oh no! Another guest lager. :mad: So glad left you are going to WDW & not my coast. ]

Hmmm, my coaster says 'laggard'. Unless, of course you were offering to buy him a 'cold one'.(then my apologies). :( btw I love being a laggard. Seeing D/L damn near empty is very KUUL. ;)

I live to serve. Of course this is coming from a guy who couldn't find 1 particular cute gal on main street.

People just amaze me. I personally love F! and watch the WHOLE show, 'cause dammit, I sat there for that time frame, so duh, I want to see it all. But I also wait until the last credit runs on movies in the theater and am guilty of closing down Main St. on the days I visit Disneyland.

On a side note of that, I went to DL on Fri. and some of the fireworks show was missing! Yes, I know they are playing a kind of moshed together show but still...don't play the 50th show if you're not going to play everything.

You're so right LDC. Fireworks display is REALLY lacking if a guest or CM saw the show during 05 & 06. Nothing Disney does can top the 50th!! Just don't understand why they can't give more than a "mosh." pyro.

Before the end of Fantasmic!, I get the question, "Is it over yet?" It's like they have someplace to go and they are already bored!

I was forever getting this question between movements in the Wishes show. I just kept staring at the sky and said, "This is Disney. We don't *do* subtle here. When we get to the finale, you'll know it."

You yell at me for being a lager, and LDC gets a free pass? :p: ;)

(Or How Fantasmic! Experiences are Ruined)

So last night I stopped by the studios for a few quick spins on what used to be Coaster (thats a rant for another time, once they finish destroying it), and decided to catch F!. Well, I arrived around the 1 minute mark of the show expecting standing room only on the right side. Well, there was still some seating over there so I picked out a bench where I wouldnt block anyones view entering and crouched down so I wouldn't be in the way. I'm good so far.

Well, a few more latecomers such as myself show up and find seats with little difficulty as well. Everything is pretty good in the show (except the old hag switch, but it happens). Malificent rises up.

So when did that become the end of the show? well, last night apparently a large group of about 45 sitting in the 3 rows in front of me thought it was. Not only did they all leave mass exodus style, they decided to stop and walk over the benches. I'm thinking to myself "wow...how rude. I'm just glad I seen this before or I would have missed the entire dragon sequence". Well, not more than 30 seconds after they all are out of sight, everyone in my section decides to move up for the remaining 3 minutes of the show. So, Everyone stands up, walks down the benches to fill the void left by the group of 45. So by the time everyone is comfortably seated, Mickey pops out of the top of the mountain, sets off some fireworks, and quick-changes into his tux before turning into a column of white light.

Now, I'm not one to really rant like this about a minor annoyance (which it was to me). But this really was something that struck me as odd... Who (in a party of 45) goes to a show and leaves before the ending like that? How did they all coordinate this? It looked like a protest or walkout...strike on F! due to the mass amounts leaving at a similar time. All across the theatre people seemed to think that this group knew it was time to leave...

Weird. Ive never seen it so far in Philhar (My theatre attr.) or really any other venue.

I was there that night, too, in the Mickey section. I was in the section with all the damn Brazilians clapping, chanting and doing the damn wave. At least they shut up for the show and didn't leave early though.
