Oh boy, here we go. When I go into explaining this, I hum, I use hand guestures, the whole shebang. Maybe I should upload a video topic.
So, I shall explain.
You see, every night at 9:00PM at Epcot at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Flordia, Epcot has a fireworks show on the world showcase lagoon.
Around 6, the "Cast Members" bring out some barges loaded with fireworks and other effects. "Other Effects?" you might ask? Yes, that's right. Not only are there fireworks, but there are lasers, fountains, and fire. That's right, fire! Now you might say; "Yeah, there always is fire where there is fireworks." But no, I'm talking a whopping 150,000 pound barge that spits the red stuff. The Inferno Barge. Here is a picture of it during the nightly "Fire Barge Burnoff".
Let me go off on a tangent here, by explaining the fire barge and the burnoff. In fact, let me take it directly from my website.
" The Inferno Barge weighs a whopping 150,000 pounds! There are 37 places where the fire can be shot out of. 300 gallons of propane are used for the barge. And every night after the park is closed, (or not depending on when the park is closed) they release the leftover propane, resulting in a big fireball. Of course, if the park is open, they make an announcement first."
And here is a picture of it.
Now how about I explian the 4 "Modified Maxi Barges". These are the fountain barges, however they also have firework launchers on them. Each faces a quarter of the lagoon.
They pump out 4,000 gallons of water per minute during the show.
Instead of expliaining, why not show a picture?
And now you're wondering; "What is that thing giving off the blue glow?"
Well, I'll tell you.
IT'S THE EARTH BARGE.
"The Earth Barge CX360?"
Yes, the Earth Barge!
It weighs 350,000 POUNDS. It starts in front of American Adventure, and during the show it moves to the middle of the lagoon. It also spins too! And did I mention it opens like a flower? Yes, that's right, during the finalie of the show, it opens and a torch, symbolising the 20th century, rises from the middle of the globe. It lights, and then the thousand points of light begins. Yes, let's talk about the Thousand Points Of Light.
First, the picture.
This is the finalie. They shoot off 1,000 fireworks AT ONCE. FUN!
*takes a drink of water*
Ahem!
What to discuss next?
Oh yes, the special endings!
You see, Epcot is special. After the whole show is done, (Thousand Points Of Light, as you recall, is the finalie.) there might be a special ending.
Only on 4th Of July, New Years Eve and the Holiday Season.
I'll give you a hint about their endings. EARTH-SHATTERING.
The ground shakes, your ear-drums pop. So many peonies are exploding at once that you won't belive the huge smoke cloud that comes afterwards.
Oh deary me. Let's just talk about the NYE version.
Because it is the World Showcase Lagoon, the diffrent countries, oh man, I'm not even going to type any more. Please people, go to my Wiki, Crazed Pyrotechnicians
I hope this isn't considered advertising. But if it is, please PM me before you delete this topic so I can post it again and explain it without the link. Thanks.
