    The wishes fireworks is the best. I love the way it starts with Tinkerbell, brill. Filmed it in 2002 and watch it often.

    I just love Wishes, it really is the best I have ever seen We did the seaworld fireworks last year and thought they were terrible, certainly not worth the wait

    I put other, as in none of the above! I have done and seen many many firework displays and to be honest the theme parks are nothing in comparison. I haven't seen the wishes one but all the other ones are more Pyro/light displays and nothing else.
    I will however say the Epcot ones are a very good show spectacle and follow the music well.

    Best display i have seen, Primrose Hill November 2001. What a nightmare that was trying to get into London just after September 11th with enough explosives to bring down the Houses of Parliament, 4 7.5 tonne lorry loads Was a Superb display though and i was pleased to be part of it [clap]

    We went to the Primrose Hill fireworks show in November a few years ago and I confess that it turned out to be such a nightmare that we swore never to go there again. Oh, the fireworks were spectacular all right, but the crowd! It was the the rowdiest, surliest and judging by some of those around us, the drunkest mob that I have ever come across. We had taken my elderly in-laws and frankly, I was scared that they might have got hurt in all that pushing and shoving. My normally stoic mother-in-law was in tears afterwards and I had to apologise to her.

    The atmosphere in London does not even begin to compare with the family friendly one in Orlando. To me, it really does not matter which people like...Wishes, Fantasmic, IllumiNations etc...the atmosphere is brilliant in all of them and light years better than the nightmare on Primrose Hill.

    Where have I gone wrong[msnsad]. I haven't seen any firework displays. The first time we went in October 2002 the parks shut between 6 and 7 and then re-opened later. Last time we never went to Disney but will be going in Octobber.

    That's where the differences are Nostromo, the crowds. I have to admit when we were setting up Primrose Hill we were amazed at the size of the crowds (Around 100000 there in 2001). I don't think they have been able to do it there since as Camden Council won't allow it due to it's size.
    I look at fireworks from a different perspective to most people as i work with them and although the actual Fireworks used at the Thema Parks a great the actual Shows are not
