Snake Attack! Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 I was working in the games during the nights of fire so I didn't get the best seat in the house but I have a pretty good view of everything going on. I really liked all the fireworks and special fireworks to go with what the person was saying. I thought that the person talking or our nations freedom or whatever during the whole thing was a little corny. I really liked how they shot fireworks off of what I thinks was the fountains of international street, that was a cool little effect. I thougt overall the show was great but a little short, I think it lasted like 15-20 minutes, not like the past when I remember it being like 25 minutes, or I at least think it was that long. The night overall was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatar Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Those firework are actually going off behind the southside international street buildings. If you go to the side lot by the admin offices ( they open-up for this event ) Those fireworks go off right in front of you, it is a real great location, and you can hear everything. I personally and highly suggest this location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKlockster Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 What time did the park close? It was scheduled to close at 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bombay Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 It closed at 11. Nights of Fire was great, not as long as in the past but still great none the less. The soundtrack was fantastic too, featuring great quotes from FDR, Reagan, JFK, and current president George W. Bush. The music was pretty good, especially the classic lee green wood song "i'm proud to be an American". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatar Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 I would also like to add that they change the color of the tower different colors, and at times three different colors at once, nice effect. they used some new types of fireworks (At least to me) to go with the music at times. My 6 year old daughter was very excited and danced to the music, so I did miss some of the show because fathers will trade any show to watch thier children in such excitment. So I would haft to say Kings Island did a great job, from a family perspective. We really like the extra shows in the park over the holiday weekends as it is something new and different. I think we will always try to come over the 4th holiday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake Attack! Posted July 2, 2006 Author Share Posted July 2, 2006 Wait so they extras were being shot off building on the right side of International Street, sorry I don't know what side of the park is north or south. I was a splat city shootout (right by timmy's sky tours). If they did go off the buildings how did they get clearance to do that. I didn't think in Ohio you were able to shoot even close to building let alone on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shman Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 They were probably using a grade of close proximity fireworks.....similar to the type of fireworks they use at football games and concerts. There are fireworks called mines that dont go very far in the air, then they break with very little fallout....this way they can be used close to the audience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WooferBearATL Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Now they used to set off fireworks on the Tower above the 50' level and on the top deck. Also, there would be fireworks set up around the fountain and on the center pieces. Are the doing any of that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Attack! Posted July 2, 2006 Author Share Posted July 2, 2006 No, nothing is going off of the tower this year but they light it up which makes it look mighty pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstrwomann Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Nights of Fire Weekend was great way to spend the holiday weekend. They have alot of entertainment/shows that they normally don't have. The fire works are very pretty and they last along time. The picnic dinner was also very good. I hope they continue this in the future years and have it more often (daily) for the public in the restraunt overlooking the fountains.
