Some very awesome sounding ideas if Disney is able to use drones as part of the in park shows. I wonder if this has to do with the new Avatar Land and Animal Kingdom nighttime show?

There are some awesome patent drawings that accompany this article. Well worth the read.

As of now, they're illegal.

FAA prohibits commercial use of drones. See Amazon's issue this year.

There was a protest against drones and Disney outside the Great New York State Fair today.

Oddly, it was military day at the fair.

This continues to gain steam and details are now emerging about the show box these drones would occupy.  Sounds very awesome if this gets off the ground.

Also I am sure some of you have seen this video making the rounds of this synchronized drone flight done by Intel.  This could be an awesome addition to a show.
