Best Fireworks at a Park

So, which park do you think has the best Fireworks? My Fav. is the Epcot Illuminations 1990-1995 version.

But, which seasonal park has the best? I thought Kings Island's was pretty spectacular a few years back, and Opryland had an excellent one on the Fourth of July.

Whats your opinion?

Without a doubt and there is no way to argue, La Ronde has the best fireworks. They hold the world championship of fireworks every year. Teams from all over the world come to compete. The average show lasts about 40 minutes and these are the best companies in the world doing the best they can, set to music, with no money constraits as they are the ones making all the stuff.

Of course, that means tons of people in the park they actually shut down most of the rides when it's going on.

Well PKI does them every night,t hey aren't that great, but the ones at PKI on the 4th were great.

As an overall show the current version of Illuminations is amazing. How many shows can make people feel emotional, even cry? Not many but that's just my opinion.

When I was in Epcot in 1999, they had some truly spectacular fireworks!!

Epcot does have great fireworks. I've only seen this years and last years and they were awesome every time. People really line up for that show.

Does this thing go faaaaaast!

The Millennium Edition Illuminations was great! I loved how the music blended with the bangs and sizzles of the fireworks!

The version of Illuminations now is AMAZING! You gotta love the glodbe that moves out to the center of the lake, then doubles as a jumbotron on the contenents. A couple series of fireworks are great, but the finale of white fireworks is outstanding! It's as bright at day! I liked the 98 version better, more lazers and lighting effects, even if the globe was just a fixed shpere in the lake then.

i agree Illuminations is good, but "Believe" at disneyland is better. Those actualy brought a tear to my eye cause they were so amazing, and beautiful! And also the power of those fireworks was incredible! I love those fireworks more than any other i have seen. It also matches the music perfectley! that is my vote for the best fireworks!

"Believe... There's Magic in the Stars" and "Believe... In Holiday Magic" are the best fireworks shows I have seen in person (both at Disneyland Park). It blows away all other performances I have seen, probably because they shoot off from multiple places, not just one location. The synchronization with the music is always perfect. And they have some unique effects, such as the criss-crossing comets - you don't see those at any old fireworks show. Lately I've been watching a downloaded video of Illuminations at Epcot (current version) and it seems like that might be as good (if not better).

Illuminations now is very good, but the best show I saw was Illuminations on Dec 31, 1999. I am sure they did something special that night besides just the countdown, because I remember each firework going off with a huge flash because of the reflection off all the smoke in the sky, something that does not happen now (it also seemed much longer).

Epcot will always have one of the best firwork shows around. They have a reputation for them and will keep it up. My favorite Illuminations show was they 2000 show. Although Epcot's shows are not just firworks and they tell a story. Where as most firwork displays are just fireworks.
