7252. See a drone light show

More and more communities and other identities want to find an alternative to firework shows probably due to cost and noise. They have been turning to drone shows instead. This intrigues me as I like the bright colors of a firework show but I'm not a huge fan of the noise. My parents tell me on our first trip to Disney World, dad had to hold a screaming me on top of the train station during the fireworks because I didn't like the noise.

When Darboy announced they were doing a drone show instead of a firework show, I figured I could see it from the complex. We could usually see the fireworks from the complex.

Well we could see the part of the drone show. They were not very high and the warehouses blocked our view of some of them. Maybe next year, I may have to try to get closer without actually going to the park. 




The show of what I could see of it was nice. It all tied together with an Americana theme. 
Drone shows in theory are great. This particular one was not very good. It barely lasted 10-15 minutes. Maybe that's the norm but firework shows last much longer. They were not very high up so I could only see them if I looked from one particular spot in the complex.






I do want to see another drone show or two (preferably closer than a mile away) before I truly make a firm opinion about them. I really like the concept and what I saw of the Darboy one but the short duration and low height leaves me with mixed feelings.
