I simply do not understand what the urge is to pick which is the better one. The shows are just too different, and both are lovely. I see both use water, but the details and approach is just too different. AquanurA is using water in certain ways to create details, combined with lights, music and some other special effects. It is aiming to give you the feeling of your memories of a day in the park. Dreams is using water, projections, and some other special effects combined with the well known Disney characters. It tells a story of those characters.

I just saw Aquanura for the first time by night last saturday (new version). I love it even more by night. The details are great. The colours used, the details the fountains provide, the music. It all comes together. The raven of Raveleijn shown by the water turning into the horses, the giant fairytale mushroom (red with white dots), the dancing elves on african beat (Indian waterlillies/Indische waterlelies), the hands waving at carnaval festival, the turning of the house of Villa Volta.

Solet me one more add in another competitor:
Autostadt wolfsburg
They intentionally planned to show all the 4 different shows from the last 4 weeks, but after the 2nd, tehre was such heavy rain everyone got drenched and it had to be stopped.
well still the 2 shows we saw weare pretty awesome as always.
The shows were moved this year, from the Lagoon near the entrance all the way back to the Harbour pool, with the old Volkswagen Factory being used not only as a background object, but also as projection screen.
This year's theme was italy, to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the Italian guest workers coming to the Volkswagen production

So let us start with the shows I did not see personally.
1st would be "arte e cultura"- Arts and culture

(long vid, you can skip parts if you want)

Now onwards to the shows I just saw tonight
1st one is "amore e passione"- Love and passion

and the other is "Paradiso e inferno"- Heaven and Hell

you might miss any fireworsk, but IMHO they are not really needed. The only time the show had fireworks was in the year the local soccer club became national champions
