A Day At The Park

A place to be entertained. Videos, jokes, games, and more.
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.

Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

You didn't see that big blast from behind the left side of the castle? In the middle of the day?
What were they doing - maybe firing off the unexploded ordnance or something?

Where at in the video is that? I can probably tell you what it is. I don't feel like watching the entire video ATM and don't recall seeing it when I watched it the other day..


Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.

We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

We are probably thinking the same thing, It's the pyros that are set off during the Dream Along With Mickey castle show. You can see them go off in the shots of the Speedway.

Yep, its at 1:23. Watch close and you can tell its the fireworks for the show.

I thought I posted about the video already. :confused: Anyway, love it and am going to keep fingers crossed they do one for the other parks as well.

Definitely "Dream Along With Mickey" pyro. Seeing it from that angle with the tilt-shift effect and the speed makes it look weird.
