DCA's World of Color begins to show off its tricks...

I did not enjoy Phantasmic either, for the same reasons which matt, crazy horse, Jeff and LG have mentioned.

Seemed more like a commercial for DVD sales.

And that's different from the rest of the park how, exactly?

But honestly, guys---Mickey's dreams are hijacked! By villians! They CONTROL HIS MIND! How can you not get that?

(:) for the humor-impaired).

Actually, it seems like the entire park is a commercial for DVD sales. ;) But heck, I enjoy some commercials.

But I understand. Some of it is much more blatant. And it seems all of the more recent attractions have to have some commercial tie in, which is kind of a bummer. I prefer the train myself.

It didn't seem like that a few years ago.

Thats true, back then it was a commercial for VHS sales...

The Walt Disney Company is and always will be a film company, everything that they have ever done (and will ever do) is to sell their films (and now TV shows as well.)

What the hell is Phantasmic?

Anyway, I never liked the show, it combined the dry parts of Illuminations with sappy character moments, in a cramped stadium where I can't buy a beer from the Rose & Crown. Trust me, Strongbow on tap on the bridge watching Illuminations is one of the best Disney experiences I've ever had.

Anyway, back to WoC, this is going to be huge. I mean huge. They have some crazy stuff below the surface of the water now that's going to blow minds.

in a cramped stadium where I can't buy a beer from the Rose & Crown.

I'm fairly sure I got a Yuengling Dark at the F! theater. R&C wouldn't be caught dead pouring Yuengling, but it's not half bad.

Oh man, Yuengling, sooooo good. It's probably one of the best American beers...

I'm just bummed I can't get in New Hampshire!!!!!!! Oh well, there's a mertic butload of good local & reigonal beers here. Anybody had a bottle of Studley Monk yet?

You can't get in New Hampshire? You do know it doesn't require a passport, don't you? Or is there a statewide ban on fongers?

Let your fongers do the walking...

...just not to New Hampshire.

Seriously! The good news is that I have a friend who travels to Albany for business on occasion. He usually brings back a case or two for me. There are a lot of people around here who would snap it up in a heartbeat!

Oohhhh la la...

World of Color also spits fire!

WET has come up with some really impressive stuff as of late.

World of Color looks to be a mated product of WET's rehash on the Volcano at The Mirage hotel & casino and the world famous Fountains of Bellagio.

If only the guy shooting the second video would've just zoomed in and out about 6 or 7 more times, I might have actually punched my laptop screen.

That and that aweful spiel going on in the background.
