Fireworks!

Post by idobelieveinfairiesido »

Has anyone been anywhere interesting to watch any? I've just got back from the race course where there was a massive firework display! It was really good!

I love fireworks. I've seen it many times during the summer. My brother took me to the Brooklyn Promenade to see the Macy's 4th of July Fireworks show and it was great. I've been to many fireworks show like the Colman Brothers Carnival and at a Bazaar at the Glasco Fire Department. The fireworks are so magical. It makes the Fairy Godmother go "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo".

I hope Poughkeepsie is having a Celebration of Lights where they were having a tree lighting ceremony and fireworks show at 6:30 PM on December 2nd. This event is similar to a tree lighting ceremony where it is held at Rockefeller Center in New York City. By the way, if you love fireworks, I have the game "Fantavision" on PS2. I played it was great, but I love fireworks that it was included in the game. Here is that pic from the PS2 game "Fantavision"

Those are gorgeous pictures, musicradio77! Anyway, I love fireworks. Along with things I love to death such as Christmastime, Disneyland, fashion, and other werid stuff that I cherish, fireworks is definitely one of them. The best firework show that I've seen is the one at the Disneyland 50th anniversity celebration. I was quite peeved about the fact that I didn't see any fireworks on Fourth of July. My mom tried to make me feel better by saying, "We'll be at Disneyland next month and I heard that they have a pretty good firework special there". That made me feel a little bit better. So, we planned to stay at DL for about two nights. They first night, we didn't get to see the Firework special becasue we were at DCA till closing hours. We went to eat dinner at this Italian restrurant in Downtown Disney. I remember going out of the back door of the restrurant and trying to get a good view of the firework special. I wasn't the only one though :lol: . I also took some pictures but they came out very bad. Luckily, we saw the firework special the next night and it was amazing! Never once did I take my eyes off from the sky. After the fireworks special, we went to see Fantasmic so to sum it all up, It was an awsome night! :D

Where I live, The City has 4 Fire Work shows a year, One for July 4th, one for Nevada Day (which is the last Saturday of October and is the states Birthday), One for Street Vibrations ( Which is in September and is a Big Harley Festival) and New Years.
Reno, Lake Tahoe and Virginia City also all do fire works for the holdiays.
I will watch the fireworks at Disneyland in less than 3 weeks. ANd I have seen the Fire Works in NYC and Atlanta when I have lived on those places.

Thanks! As you might see, a view of the fireworks was taken from Manhattan during a performance at a Macy's 4th of July fireworks show. This was like a New York City version of Disney's "Fantasy In the Sky". As you might see in the bottom, there was fireworks as shown from the PS2 game "Fantavision". As anybody played "Fantavision"?

I like watching them at Disney World, but generally, can't be bothered. If done at a park or majorly by proffessionals, its good. I guess a lot of my distaste for fireworks comes from all these dumyums around here that set them off.
Between kids screwing around, to idiot adults, it's just ruined it for me. One of my friends was hit in the eye with a rocket at the beach on July 4th once. My some miracle, she was not injured beyond getting a bruise. The moron also had his 3 year old kid running circles around them.
Then there's the people who feel a week before and after a holiday that is traditionally fireworks friendly is also a good time to set them off. Trying to take a peaceful walk with my two fireworks scared dogs and some twit starts setting them off a block away. Its so much "fun" to try and calm and hold onto two 50lbs dogs that are scared to death.
And then of course the fires of 1998 here in Florida. They happened in July and August. Many of them around July 4th, many created due to morons with fireworks.

Disney World, Universal, Sea World, the big cities' fireworks spectaculars on the 4th and New Years, yeah sure. But everything else, I just can't stand it all.

I do remember back while I was down in the city, some people had set off fireworks in different places. They're still illegal in all states except a couple of them that someone has bought at some places where they sell fireworks.

So do other places. I still love fireworks, that should be as part of my influence with Disney.
