So I went to KI around 9pm, it was my birthday and I wanted to see the Starlight Spectacular. At 10 they did the announcement for the fireworks and ... no fireworks. They did the announcement again around 10:15 and still no fireworks. I'm sure it was a technical problems but I was still curious if anyone knew what went on? I kept on hearing in my head the martian from Looney Tunes repeating "Where's the ka-boom? There's supposed to be an earth shattering ka-boom."

Friday and Saturday only.

Really!? As in "no more weekday fireworks?"

Friday and Saturday only.

I'm pretty sure there's another topic floating around here that stated it was a technical issue. Last I heard, fireworks are still planned for everyday that the park closes at 10pm.

In the description, it says "On days when the park closes at 10 pm or later." The actual little "weekly calendar" only lists Fridays and Saturdays.

Yes, On days the park is open until 10pm

Win.

They also make meds for that.

They had fireworks on Sunday.

Who can focus on fireworks when we are all busy looking at Snoopy's Starlight Spectacular.

Just to clear the air --

The fireworks go on every night of the regular season that the park closes at 10p or later. I overheard someone's radio in the park on Saturday in which they were talking about having technical difficulties with the fireworks. It almost seemed as if they took two shots at doing the show (they played the soundtrack twice) but it didn't work out.

I love the fireworks and know that a lot of people love them too. I can't wait for them to be every night!

That's what the guy selling the flashy toys (light wands, glow necklaces, etc.) at the front of the park said as well. Considering that they didn't even play the "rides and attractions are now closing" message until almost 10:30, I'm inclined to believe that reason, especially since the fireworks went off at 10 on Sunday.

Technical difficulties? Just light the stupid fuse and run!

Seriously, I love the work that the fireworks people do. They pack the shells by hand... carefully! ...and make happy faces, stars, hearts, and all kinds of eye candy that never, ever gets old!! Always world-class!
