This video is incredible for Fantasmic and show equipment nerds. Amazing work covering all the details. The setup work and manpower for this show is just unreal.

I was 100% going to suggest eating dinner at MillView Lane while they are rigging the Columbia after it docks! We were there this weekend and had such a blast watching the crew and listening to them prep for the show. Then, we watched the engineers in their boats along the river. The little one with me actually called out and waved to one of them and said, "Whatcha doin' Mister?" He was so sweet. He stopped what he was doing, drove his boat over (a modern one) and said, "Shhhh, don't tell Mickey or his little friends here (pointing to all of the ducks that had started roosting) but I'm just taking a break and fishing before the show tonight. He thinks I'm fixing the lights, but I'm just looking for dinner." I got a feeling that that wasn't a regular thing and that man probably didn't get approached very often. I don't think he's really meant to be seen. But it was a real kick to see that was we waited for the show that night. Our little one is on the spectrum and we needed that quiet and distraction. Too bad it was later totally ruined by a couple of insanely loud chatter boxes going on an on about nonsense. One of them even said she was 'Queen of Disney" or something. She was not a cast member, but she had on some ridiculous outfit and she and her buddies were yammering for a good 30 minutes. She seemed super entitled and annoying. The lady at the table next to us even said she was about to go up to them and ask them to keep it down or go elsewhere, but they thankfully left. It's such a lovely quiet spot that people overlook. There aren't many of those places left in the park.

Maybe Aladdin and Jasmine should be given a boat like all the other couples in that sequence if the magic carpet isn't coming back anytime soon. I was wondering where it was, but it makes sense that it may have been damaged beyond repair when the dragon burned. I wonder if the Tick Tock crocodile float still exists? Because currently he's just a projection during the Peter Pan sequence. Very cool video though, I was hoping someone would making a video discussing Fantasmic behind-the-scenes!

Apparently, the building that houses all of the Fantasmic hardware doesn’t have room for the crocodile anymore… with this in mind, I don’t think it could house another barge for Aladdin/Jasmine.
@George_vv
3 ай бұрын
The fact that the Aladdin segment doesn't have a barge is probably better because it points to the original effect returning rather than being replaced by the barge. Also I believe the Tick Tock croc animatronic was a jet ski shell (though I could be wrong) and they probably don't like doing those anymore. Also the croc animatronic was massive and doesn't fit beneath the bridge to the storage bay anymore.

The Technical Crew is underappreciated, but I think they are very dedicated team and very talented and do just as much, if not more, work than the cast at set-up, rehearsals, and strikes. I wish in theatrical shows, the crew got more appreciation by the audience.

Extremely well done video! I am a disney parks show fan as well as in the entertainment technology industry doing lighting, audio, and video. I did want to point out some other cool things about Fantasmic. The black push boat is acctually the specific width neeeded to fill the distance between the island and the Columbia for the black stairs seen earlier in the video to get cast and crew off of the Columbia. If you stand at the fence line infront of the Davey Crocket Canoos you can actually talk with cast and crew during the show. The 3 black dance boats were replaced during the transition from Fantasmic 1.0 to 2.0 . The old set was sent to Animal Kingdom for The Jungle Book: Alive with Magic. Just before the crew goes below deck you can yell "Have a good pass" and they will yell back thankyou and once the first pass of the show has been done the top of King Louie's throne comes off and becomes Ariels rock. Prince Eric has to carry her to the boat as well as carry her to the front of the Mark Twain once on the other side. Also during the transition from the monkeys to the princesses the corner torches will be changed to match each princess so next time you see the dance boats take a look. One last fun thing to do is there is a small path from Davey Crockets Canoos to the birth of the Columbia and as soon as you see the pirate flag on the Columbia start to move forward you can run that path and see the entire crowd watching Fantasmic and when the canon fires you see the whole crowd jump. The way I can describe it is if you ever saw someone throw a bowling ball backwards in Wii Sports and you see all of the caracters jump, it is just like that. I would like to chime in on the possible reason why Murphy is not out as well as Alladin and Jasmine's carpet and Malifecent's Cauldron are not coming out is most likely due to budget reasons I believe it took a lot more crew to put the cauldron on the lift as well as run the magic carpet and to run Murphy. This is my guess. Anyways thank you again for this video it was wonderful!

I am curious how they get performers onto the Twain. Like if they have a switch track to bring it very close to the eastern dock, or use a platform to bridge the gap. Some other details I've noticed: the props and equipment used on the Twain are probably hidden in various compartments on the Twain during the day. So you might be just 10 feet away from Steamboat Mickey's helm (and maybe the head or entire costume) during the day and never know it. Also, that small hill between the Island and Big Thunder perfectly obscures the view of the Mark Twain from Big Thunder Trail as they prep it for Fantasmic. That seems very intentional of Disney Imagineering.
