I don't think we actually have a topic just for World of Color, so here we go.
Some great new photos and a video of nighttime testing:

QuoteWhat is also throwing the DCA planners a curve ball is the fairly long run time of the World of Color show, which is currently clocking in at just under 30 minutes. (For reference, Fantasmic! clocks in at 22 minutes, Remember Dreams Come True fireworks are 17 minutes long, and Epcot's Illuminations show is 15 minutes long.) The prestigious London Symphony Orchestra is slated to record the official soundtrack for the show later this month, and Steve Davison has agreed to try and trim some scenes, but it's still going to be a very long show.
They must have been very pleased with the Once Upon a Dream Parade soundtrack then. :)
There is a very short sneakpeak of how the show might look in this video:

The official Disney Parks Blog posted a great video about the construction of WoC:

Disney Parks Blog has released a new video about WoC. It looks like they started testing with the fountains in 2007.

It was the Royal Philharmonic who did OUADP actually, not the London Symphony.
A look at the heavy ongoing testing going on at Paradise Pier bay, getting ready for late April/May opening of the show!

Woah. Now THAT'S Disney Magic. That's the Disney I remember.
That's really amazing. By far the beat what Disney did in the last years.
Yes, wow! Although it would be odd if the lights on Mickey's Fun Wheel were on during the whole show. Seems like a bit of a distraction.
Great photos, where did you manage to find all them?

For those who want to learn more about the show. These videos were taken at the D23 Expo last year - One of the presentations at the expo was devoted entirely to World of Color. Imagineer Steve Davison, creator of the show, gave a complete overview - explaining the technical aspects, the storyline, and the tremendous amount of work that is being put into the show. Here are the videos, in six parts. It is definitely worth a watch!

THE BEST Disney show on earth by far!
I Realise this isn't the Full show in its entirety! With all the strange tranisitions but if you take it with a pinch of salt you can see this is something a bit special! :D/
Truly breathtaking!!! :mrgreen:
A couple of things to note about the video. This isn't the final version of the show. Some scenes are missing (Alice in Wonderland, Little Squirt, Dr. Facilier, among others) and the segments are not in order.
Also, some of the effects weren't on, including the hidden effects within the viewing area. You can tell it's not the full show because of the strange transitions, and there's a couple of places where the audio cuts off.
This version of the show was presented to Disney CEO Bob Iger, Tom Staggs, and other Disney suits to show them the progress of the show. While this is a good sneak peek, it is in now way the complete version of what we will see once it officially opens.
This show is truly amazing, breathtaking a real disney show.... :cry: =D> :D/
this test full lengh test video gives me a hint on what to expect when the deputs this year..
cant wait for a hig definition video of the show...
it´s just my opinion but its better than fantasmic, don´t get me wrong fantasmic is great,
but this show will be a little bit better. the things i don´t like on fantasmic are the parts with
cast members performing.
from the angle this video was shot from you can't get a good perspective of how big the show is.
if you compare it to the viewing area in the bottom left, it makes that area look tiny. the show is massive and the fountains will literally tower over the audience. amazing!
and here is the latest video from the Disney Parks Blog, showing an overview of WoC development:

Your absolutly correct there,
I realise this is not the true full version of the show!
But i'm so pleased Disney are finally doing things right now! Praying this comes to WDS sometime! [-o<
Definately a great show!! So much better than Fantasmic, although I liked this show a lot. I have always been a big fan of fountain shows, especially of the one in front of the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas. I had to see it every day at least once when we were there.
Hopefully our plans turn into reality to travel to California in 2011 and then we have to go to DLR to see it.
Thanks for posting that video. The complete show looks fantastic. I've personally always preferred fountain shows to fireworks shows, so this is just great. It's so beautiful, how can anyone dislike it?
Presumably a fountain show (even of this scale) is cheaper to put on each night than a fireworks display? If so, that increases the chances of this ever coming to Disneyland Paris.
But surely the maintenance costs are astronomical. Think of all those fountains that need cleaning, inspecting, re-calibrating, etc.
Wow, wow, wow - mindblowing amazing. Eventhough some of the sequences (Nemo, Wall-E) might seem a bit boring in the video they sure will be immersive when you sit in the viewing area.
I haven't seen any of the big night time shows live, but I've seen them on video and this looks like it will kick their a** big time!

It would be amazing to see this in Paris, but yes the maintenance costs must be extraordinary so we might just have to dream a long time about this until they come up with a new magnificent show.
THIS is Disney Magic when it comes to shows!

It looks SO awesome!
In the first place I had still my doubts about the show, but it looks fantastic :D
Looks good enough. A cool thing would be if they could change the show for christmas and halloween.
I still look forward to the DisneySEA version of Fantasmic more than this though

The show's director confirmed that they will do Christmas and Halloween versions of the show.
Also, TDS was supposed to receive a clone of the World of Color show, but they changed their minds after learning it would be too complex for the park.

The main areas of TDS would have had to be shut down for a long period of time for OLC to install new fountains. It would not be a smart thing to close half a park that gets as many visitors as TDS. With DCA Disney had no real alternative than to make something major and different in that big empty space that the lagoon was. DCA needs World Of Color, TDS does not.
Brand new video from Disney -
The Stage is Set For World of ColorQuoteThe lagoon is full, the walls are down and the lights are on as Walt Disney Imagineers put their final touches of pixie dust on "World of Color" at Disney's California Adventure park. We take you inside the control booth for an exclusive look at the process of this one-of-a-kind spectacular that combines music, fire, water and your favorite Disney and Disney-Pixar animation to create this magical show. The lagoon officially lights up with "World of Color" for guests on June 11.

Disney has launched a new World of Color website! The site isn't fully ready yet, the website says they'll be adding more info soon.
//http://disneyland.disney.go.com/disneyland/en_US/calendar/specialEvents/detail?name=WorldOfColor
QuoteYou've never experienced anything like World of Color, where Disney magic weaves water, color, fire and light into a kaleidoscope of fantasy and imagination. Premiering June 11, 2010, this magnificent new nighttime water spectacular in Disney's California Adventure® Park will flood your senses with a dazzling new dimension of storytelling.
Imagine more than a thousand brilliantly colored jets of water soaring over 200 feet in the air, rhythmically moving in time to the music. Water sprays form incredible shapes that become the supporting performers — and are liable to steal the show!
Music fills the night and moves you with timeless melodies that capture moments of drama, humor, sentiment and magic. As the story unfolds, towering mist screens rise before you, suspending beloved Disney Characters on the shimmering surface, moving closer until you feel immersed in the wonderful World of Color.
A Spectacular Show and So Much More
Debuting June 11, 2010, World of Color excitement will fill Disney's California Adventure® Park and beyond. Come back soon for more information.
QuoteDining Enhances Your Magical Evening
World of Color takes the idea of dinner and a show to a whole new level. Whether you reserve one of the special dining experiences or want to get a quick snack before the show, World of Color will be the centerpiece of a great night out.

Disney Parks Blog update:
QuoteFor the first time, we can show you what one of the world's largest projected water screens looks like when, together with other incredible effects, they create a larger-than-life Disney spectacle.
These memorable moments from "WALL-E" and "The Lion King" seem even cooler when they're recreated in "World of Color," don't they? Keep in mind...what you're seeing is a wall of water 380 feet wide by 50 feet high for a projection surface of 19,000 square feet.

QuoteDisneyParks — May 24, 2010 — The nearly 1,200 fountains in the World of Color are a spectacular combination of water, fire, color, music and dancing. Walt Disney Imagineers wanted the "stars" of the show to move like humans, so they turned to professional choreographer and dancer Joshua Horner to give the fountains life, character and emotion. In this podcast, watch as Imagineers are inspired by Horner as he dances his way through the World of Color. It's another exclusive peek behind the scenes.
The World of Color looks great, but anyone else feel these new Internet preview videos are getting a bit much? I mean, it seems like there have been 50 videos about this show, before it's even opened. I know it's going to open soon, but it's been "coming soon", "we can't wait to show our guests", "about to open" etc for what seems like an eternity.
The same goes for the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Enough with the previews and teasers. We get the idea. Now just open it! :-)

After all the building up of DCA in 2001 which turned out to be a flop, now they know if they build this up and they know its going to be a hit then it pays off! More previews and hype the better IMO
The music is AMAZING. Big fan of that, but I'm not buying the idea that dancers are helping to program the display. That's stupid! They said all along that they're recording the music at the last possible moment so they have maximum flexibility to change it... and then they get a choreographer in to give them new ideas. Just seems strange to me, but it looks good. Fountains look good too :P
Disney has launched a very impressive new website for World of Color - //http://disneyland.disney.go.com/disneyland/en_US/special/woc/index?name=DisneyWorldOfColor&CMP=VAN-FY10Q3USEN_WorldofColor_DisneysWorldofColor
Contains previews of music, additional pictures, interactive screens, etc. On the main page, click around the lagoon to create fountains, fire, and fireworks!
The Disney Parks Blog has posted the commercial for Disney's World of Color along with the new logo for Disney California Adventure (notice the loss of the 's and park)...
http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2 ... 9-tv-spot/ (http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2010/05/first-look-new-%E2%80%98world-of-color%E2%80%99-tv-spot/%22%20onclick=%22window.open(this.href);return%20false;)
I never understod why it always say "park". It sounds better without. Disneyland should be marketed as a disneyLAND and not a park. The same goes for California Adventure.
What an obvious, predictable choice for a logo. They've found their success formula for the park — recycling existing Disney stock from the early years of the company. So of course the logo would look like the title screen of an old cartoon.
But it's not awful. It's an improvement. As for the loss of the apostrophe and the s, I have no idea what to think of that. How is that different?

It means its no longer possessive, its a huge change grammatically, but lets be honest, other than us geeks, who's going to notice/care!

WoC commercial:

Good advert/commerical.
Does the music in that commercial remind you of 'Hall of the Mountain King'? UK posters will know this music as the Alton Towers Theme. The visuals are amazing but the music is quite generic. That's one of the key features of the show!
Love the new DCA logo. Very fun
^ actually that music is only used for the commercial, it isn't used in the actual show soundtrack :)
here's a new video released by Disney for the media -
[youtube:d0t793nn]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMbqAcm4AgI[/youtube:d0t793nn]
I'm speechless, never mind WDW, I want to go to DCA!
I'm in two minds about World of Color, don't get me wrong I'm very excited to see a new idea for a spectacle show and it's shaping up to be something stunning. But when I look at this footage I think one one hand how beautiful it looks, and how it's something stunning, but on the other hand, would a 20 minute or so show of fountains doing the colour changing/height varying performance make something which would grip me all the way through, or would I lost interest after a few scenes?
I'm gonna wait for the full show (I'm sure it'll be leaked soon enough!) and make a judgement, but I'm interested to see how they piece it all together to keep it interesting all the way through!

Most people i've spoken to in LA about it have told me you're in tears the whole way through so i wouldn't worry about it "gripping" you! Perhaps you should be worried about it "gripping" your emotions and tugging them around a bit! ;)
I'm just waiting for a HD video of the show to be put on youtube! Any gueses for June 11th after the premiere! :D lol
I had to cancel a trip to LA this summer and i am TRULY gutted after reading the reviews, and its not just joe public! Even seasoned Disney fans are loving WOC!
At nearly 27 mins long, I think it's Disney's longest nighttime spectacle. I attended one of the CM previews this past weekend, and the show never felt repetitive, it pulls you in and you never really lose interest.
There are so many different effects, so many beautiful moments it's hard to take it all in.. it's the type of show you need to watch more than once to truly appreciate everything that is in it. There are many effects that the camera lens just doesn't capture. There's a beautiful glitter effect that's created out of lasers - when the light hits the droplets of water, it creates an amazing sparkle effect.
The fire effects are very intense. I was standing at the edge of the viewing area in the boardwalk and the fire was just amazing. huge towering flames that roar and spin around, incredible. I've never really had that experience at any other Disney show - it's a unique spectacle and it really does give a multi-sensory experience.
this is the new pre-show for World of Color. It will feature large puppets and dancers, to create a festive carnivale through the Paradise Park area:
QuoteAs guests gather each night, waiting for our dazzling new spectacular, "World of Color" to begin, they can join in the larger-than-life party atmosphere of a pre-show—a high-energy celebration that kicks off the night. This brand new nightly pre-show encourages families and friends to cheer for their favorite hues with the official "color mascots" for "World of Color."
Each mascot is a giant, imaginative Carnivale-style puppet that brings to life some of Disney's most "colorful" characters. And when these illuminated Sky Puppets arrive, music, energy, and color really take over! Lumiere ("Beauty and the Beast") lights up for yellow¸ Sebastian ("The Little Mermaid") gets folks "out of their shells" for red, and Mike Wazowksi ("Monsters, Inc.") has his "eye" out for anyone who is hip with green. Of course, there's no doubt about what hue Aladdin's true blue Genie favors. What more could you wish for on a thrilling summer night?

I cant wait for tomorrow... and here it is where i can watch it live as many other disney fans around the world
who cant be there to watch it live!!
Join us here for the live World Premiere of World of Color, the new water spectacular at the Disneyland® Resort, June 10 at 8:45pm Pacific Time. (//http://www.ustream.tv/worldofcolor/url)
I'm glad to hear that people who've seen it can kinda help to ease my worries about the show. I guess from the raised angle it's filmed at it shows more than what a viewing guest would see. I'll wait to catch a full length video of it, and just hope that the promo one above is just down to poor editing. As for tear jerking, that's never good, I cried at Candleabration..
The puppets sound fantastic, I can imagine them walking down Main St in Paris during Fantillusion - a hybrid of the lit costumes and Nemo The Musical characters. As for the merchandise, I'm not a fan of the flashing items, they've always felt a little funfair to me (the only time they've been pulled off right was at Halloween Horror Nights) but the flavoured popcorn is a welcome addition to the non Asian parks, I'd love to see that come to Paris!
French talent adds extra magic and splendor to the World of Color show, with cutting-edge lasers and lighting design. See the video here:
//http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2010/06/world-of-color-has-french-touch/
QuoteBy now, you've probably read enough about "World of Color" to know that it's an amazing collaboration of water, light, color, animation, music and fire. Walt Disney Imagineers developed all these breathtaking elements for this nighttime spectacular, but they had some help from our friends in France.
The very talented Fabrice Kebour and Claude Lifante spent a lot of time in California as part of the "World of Color" creative team. Fabrice is one of Europe's leading lighting and projections designers, with more than 150 productions to his credit. Claude is a world-renowned laser designer and programmer who has worked on laser productions all over the world. Both men have worked on projects for Disneyland Paris. They've loved working on "World of Color" for the Disneyland Resort. I had the pleasure of interviewing both of these men. Check it out.

World of Color looks incredible. Disney have made a show that, for the first time, seems to have more wow factor and more magic than any ride they've ever built. There's so much emotion in it, so much power. It literally looks like you're watching REAL magic.
Is it me or did they cut the Alice In Wonderland segment from the show, that featured paper sculptures by artist Megan Brain?
Also, what happened to this Incredibles segment that they'd fully simulated and animated?
[youtube:1gzpc2ng]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0DIjxwyEcU[/youtube:1gzpc2ng]
^^ Yes, that seems to be one of the last-minute bad decisions made by the suits... Another is that they cut any semblance of a plot and that whatshisname insisted on "modern" music and recent films.
Partly because of those reasons, I think the show as a whole isn't as good as it could be... And there's far too much emphasis on water screen projections. The fountains and lighting however look absolutely spectacular, and I'm now convinced they're more effective than fireworks. So they have a great, great new trick (and a great new show arena) that will last them a few decades, they just might want to rethink what to do with them a little.
I kept thinking they could have achieved more with the effects that are in place... I mean, why wasn't there a long Sorcerer's Apprentice scene with Mickey splashing the waters around to the music? Just a simple but dramatic segment? And again, any narrative or storyline would have helped. Instead, it all seemed to fly past in whirls of pretty colors. I blame the suits.
Oh, and another thing. Handdrawn animation, Pixar and Pirates of the Caribbean? That just doesn't blend.
The only thing i don´t like on the show is that the spring sprite/ pocahontas scene is not anymore
after the world of color intro and that they took out alice and put in pirates.
but mr. franchize bob did make this decision and we have to live with it...
i think this show is true disney magic, epic and it makes fun to watch all over again.
Oh my. That pre-parade things are neat. Really cheap to make, but full of colour and fun. I always think you need something cool to pass the time while waiting for a parade or show :) Great addition!
Music, projection, lights, fountains and fire effects are really my thing. I mean REALLY my thing. Considering the amount of hype and investment in this show, I'm feeling slightly disappointed. I was moved, got those goosebumps all over my body and felt myself welling up a little throughout (a sign of a true Disney experience), but it came across as a selection of scenes from the movies – not something that's been intricately woven together.
Don't get me wrong, this HAS to be one of the best things to come out of Disney for many many many years and I'm still so excited to have even seen it on Youtube (thanks for sharing), but it did still just miss something for me. I'm surprised how much of the original movie music was used – and all those different forms of animation were unrecognisable. I must say Buzz's battle with Zurg is truly amazing! And where was half the music on that 'make your own World Of Colour' website? That was epic
I think if Disney really do keep adding to the show then it can only get more special, but there wasn't music of a flow throughout. Anyone else see those points... even though it's stunning?!
EDIT: After typing all that, I see that some of you do in fact agree and think the missing elements are a shame. Hmm :(
^^Yes, it was like a "best of" reel.
The part that really struck a chord with me was the Pocahontas scene, which was just a beautiful use of all the effects (plus the music, of course,) but then... Heimlich? And gone is the sentiment you've just built up.
Again, I don't think the Imagineers are to blame, but rather corporate Disney.
By the way, check out 5:34 into the third part. It's the Cheshire Cat after all!
The Incredibles segment was test footage, it wasn't going to be part of the show. Keep in mind that the D23 presentation was an initial guide for them - not everything was going to be in the show exactly as it appeared there.

That wasn't a corporate decision, that scene was part of the show from the beginning of the creative process.
Quotebut mr. franchize bob did make this decision and we have to live with it...
Uh, no. That wasn't Bob Iger's decision. They tested the show for months, during this time they made adjustments to things they thought worked or didn't work. I think it's funny that people blame Bob for any part of the show they didn't like.
QuoteI mean, why wasn't there a long Sorcerer's Apprentice scene with Mickey splashing the waters around to the music? Just a simple but dramatic segment? And again, any narrative or storyline would have helped. Instead, it all seemed to fly past in whirls of pretty colors. I blame the suits.
Because a similar scene is already part of Fantasmic in the park next door.
--
World of Color is based on the TV show, and is meant to evoke a carousel of color with a really big display of water/lights and other special effects. Each moment has its own storyline (Colors of Earth, Sea and Sky, Colors of Fears, Colors of the Sea, etc) An intricate story arc would have slowed down the show, in my opinion.
This is a show that has to be experienced live, not through a small youtube video. There are many effects that the camera lens just doesn't capture, and you miss the massive scale of the show.
They were obviously not afraid of a few Fantasmic! similarities, judging by the lengthy Chernabog scene. And Al Lutz did report that Iger (I think) demanded the music be more modern. But you missed my point, which was that the show flies by too fast for its own good. A roller coaster needs a few hill climbs, an action movie needs a suspenseful moment here and there. There was no quiet romance here and there, no "heart," it was just woosh woosh woosh from one scene to the next.
In Fantasmic!, Mickey is the heart, the center, he's what ties it all together. That works...
And as for the argument that a storyline would only have "slowed things down," that's just nonsense and a silly argument for a very incoherent show. I'm not saying there should have been an award-winning plot, just something, anything to tie the Pocahontas scene to freaking Pirates of the Caribbean.
As i was reading that the alice scene got cut because on the computer and on a smal display it looked good,
but after they tested it on the big screen it didn´t work...
and as i know the whole show had a story, til they begun to cut some stuff.
as i was reading on micechat, if you see it in real, the whole animation looks 3D because
of the moving fountains in front of the screen... so i think after all this is one of the best shows,
disney ever created. and to be honest, i was watching it now 3 times and can´t get enough!

The Chernabog scene was planned to be different from F!, it would use an 80ft telescoping tower. Unfortunately, the tower is MIA at the moment due to technical difficulties.
As someone who's already seen the show live in person, the show never feels rushed. The spirit of the show is the Wonderful World of Color series, the theme song which starts the show. In Fantasmic, the opening and finale scenes have to do with Mickey's imagination - the bulk of the show is just a string of Disney moments.
I find it amusing that people are so quick to judge a show they've experienced from a small video on youtube. the show works on so many different layers - a camera lens just won't capture the real essence of the show.
I don't doubt that the show will seem completely and utterly different in person, and I'm sure that anyone would be amazed by the effects. I hope to see it relatively soon as well. But what you *can* tell from a little video is the pacing and the story. And besides, Sue Kruse even thought so, and she's usually delighted at anything Disney does.
Anyone here seen the movie "I Love You, Man"? Well the guy that played the character Sydney Fife in that movie, Jason Segel, was at the premiere of World of Color. He's really the last person you'd expect to see at Disneyland, checking out one of the new attractions. Talk about random :D
Before he saw the show he said:
"I'm really excited, I'm a crazy Disney fan"
And after the show he said:
"It was, err, truly one of the most spectacular things I've ever seen in my life. We were all in the crowd just astounded, that that was even possible. That's, amazing!"
[youtube:3zjwsxt6]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6efTHmii-T8&playnext_from=TL&videos=GFVMziymIro&feature=sub[/youtube:3zjwsxt6]
I'm half relieved by the videos, there are undoubtedly some amazing Disney moments in the show, Pocahontas and So Close in particular, along with the WoC theme which suits the show perfectly. There are a few issues with pacing, but I'm sure that they'll tweak the show and look at removing sequences what are slowing it down (I found most of the Pixar stuff a bit forgettable and pace breaking, Up seemed to be shoe horned in, and I'm not quite sure why they paired Bugs Life with Little April Showers?), if I'm right, didn't they play around with Fantasmic! when that first opened to get the show perfect for what the guests wanted to see?
I can totally see this fitting into Paris though, it'd be a wonderful addition to Studios, and would bring potentially the nicest night time show to Europe.

Actually, the best amateur video of the World of Color show I've seen is the one by WDWNTube on Vimeo. The camera is static (locked-off) and the video quality if very clear:
http://vimeo.com/12487849 (http://vimeo.com/12487849%22%20onclick=%22window.open(this.href);return%20false;)
Just got back from an great time in the U.S. (done Route 66) topped off with 3 nights in Anaheim. World of Color was amazing. I agree that videos don't really do it justice! There was supposed to be 2 shows on Friday but they put on a third due to demand. They are doing fast pass for the best viewing areas (had to queue an hour just for to get the fast pass!) but it was worth it.
I do agree with some comments, like putting 'Up!' in there for the sake of it. One of the best bits is the Toy Story Zurg bit - but the whole thing looked amazing. The crowd went wild.
The World of Color Road Show began this week in San Francisco. The show will make three more stops in San Diego, Sacramento, and Los Angeles.
See the live webcasts here: //http://worldofcolorroadshow.com/
The theme for the first show was Love, and it took place at the Palace of the Legion of Honor. Part of the show is on YouTube:

Did anyone hear about the earthquake in California that's apparently damaged some of the fountains?! :( I hadn't heard anything about it but on all the videos on Youtube there's comments from the last 24 hours saying that there'd been an earthquake which had apparently caused Disney to (obviously) cancel the show for that night and some of the fountains had been damaged too :( :( I hope it isn't too bad!

The earthquake happened last week (july 7th). Due to the quake, the shows were cancelled for the night in order to inspect the platform for any damages. The show returned the following night and it has been running nightly since then with no noticeable damages/changes.
Phew! I thought there was really bad damage for a second, would have been such bad news if there had been! Thanks for the info alka1! :)
They mustve made the show earthquake proof, i mean this is california ! :)
A unique view of World of Color, from 1,800 feet up in the sky! Click on the link to see the video:

QuoteToday's video gives a unique look at the new, nighttime spectacular at Disney California Adventure park, "World of Color." This is a VIP view that most of us will never have the chance to see. While you can get FASTPASS tickets for a ground view of "World of Color," there's no FASTPASS ticket that will get you access this high up.
The footage was shot from a fixed-wing aircraft recently at approximately 1,800 feet above Disney California Adventure park. I particularly like the wide shot where you can see Glow Fest, "World of Color," and the whole city of Anaheim around Disney California Adventure park.
ok so i've watched the show on youtube, plus also downloaded the soundtrack from youtube, but what i don't understand is...
where do pirates of the caribbean fit into the show, i can accept the pix moments, but pirates :?:
Quote from: "MattyD24"ok so i've watched the show on youtube, plus also downloaded the soundtrack from youtube, but what i don't understand is...
where do pirates of the caribbean fit into the show, i can accept the pix moments, but pirates :?:
Pirates acts as the transition to the dark portion of the show with the villains. The storm segment of Little April Showers transitions into a Storm at Sea with the pirates, which then leads to Captain Davy Jones warning us about the "cursed places"
A new TRON scene has been added to World of Color! It plays as an encore after the show has ended. The new segment features new laser and projection effects on the California Screamin' coaster.

alka1, I could kiss you. They are amazing. I so wish I could go to DCA right now between this and ElecTRONica. Hmmm, TSPL in Paris vs. World of Colour, Glowfest, ElecTRONica, Little Mermaid, and Carsland. Hmmmmm, how's everyone enjoying Slinky's Zigzag Spin?
Sorry. My point is, I love how in California they are always developing stuff because it is cool. I love this, and I love how it is aimed at people older than 10.
Wow! Now thats what I call promotion! If this film doesnt smash box office records I dont know what will, the promotion is everywhere, and just tof the highest level. Cant wait, and I love that WOC can have overlays so easily, wonder if they will change for Christmas?

Sorry. My point is, I love how in California they are always developing stuff because it is cool. I love this, and I love how it is aimed at people older than 10.
I thought the same. WOC is so cool and Electronica looks so great. I'm more excited about an event than about a new land including three new attractions.
Maybe Terrorific Night at WDS is a nice event, but I'm sure it will never reach Electronica.
I can't wait to see Tron: Legacy. The movie looks amazing. Disney seems to be very confident that Tron will be a success. They use everything to promote the movie. Hopefully it tops Avatar, because I didn't like the movie, except for the 3D effects.
After seeing some videos about WoC I think it is on of the best things Disney created in recent years. Hopefully our plans to return to the US in 2011 or 2012 turn into reality and we will visit Disneyland Anaheim. 2012 will be better because of Carsland.
Agreed, I would wait until 2012 for Carsland (also the Transformers attraction will be open at Universal Studios too).
Of course we will have to visit Universal Studios. What is the Transformer attraction? I have to say that I didn't like both movies and now they are producing a third one.
It will be like Spiderman at Islands of Adventure but set in a Transformers setting (which I liked the movies, toys and toons).
Unfortunately we haven't been to Universal when we have been to WDW, so I don't know Spiderman. But when we are at USH we will try to do every attraction.
http://themeparks.about.com/od/universa ... nsfPre.htm (http://themeparks.about.com/od/universalstudioshollywood/p/USHTransfPre.htm%22%20onclick=%22window.open(this.href);return%20false;)
Spiderman is pretty awesome. Imagine an Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Eye or Dinosaur style attraction with 3D interaction. It is cool.
Be aware that USH is not really a theme park. This disappoints people but to me it makes the place better. It is a Studio with a tour first and foremost, then it has some rides and shows. THough I do love it.
I know, but I really like to see a working studio instead of themeparks of movie studios. Unfortunately it is still a long time until we go.
I don't know if anyone has caught this yet, but they used the World of Color stage to bring in the New Year for the first time, throwing some fireworks in for good measure. I think this show looks better than World of Color, maybe because the fireworks break the show up a bit more and add a 'sky' element to it. I'd love to see them add the low level stuff into the show in the future.
Now that things like this are happening with the fountains it makes me realise why they said it was such a big thing for the park, it's already had 4 uses that I know of (WoC, WoC & TRONcore, backing fountains for a daytime show, and this) and could really be adapted to anything! If Paris gets it, imagine how they could use it!

That is a really nice addition! I always thought it was odd that Pirates was put in, but now that it's padded out and looks more like it belongs it makes much more sense.
I imagine it'd look amazing in person too!
I love how the show can be so easily changed to stay relevant.
The new pirates scene looks amazing really makes sense now and has a story line, also tangled has been added to "so close" which is another nice addition i thought :D
"Disneyland debuted new Glow with the Show Mickey Mouse ears, interacting with the World of Color nighttime show at Disney California Adventure, lighting up, changing colors, and sparkling in sync with scenes and fountains." =D>

The Mouse Ears are great and I love the effect, but I would like to see the original version of WoC again. I don't mind Brave in the show, like I didn't mind Pirates 4, but I just think the first version when it premiered was the best.
The Glowing ears are extremely impressive, wonder what the likelihood is of them turning up for Dreams, or Dreams replacement next year?
It looks great! It's like a sea of colour. XD
It might be more distracting with Dreams, though. The viewing area for World of Colour is sloped downwards so that you can still see the show with people in front. The hats might be more distracting for Dreams. But I dunno. We'd need to try it. XD
