On November 3, 2022, guests at Disney’s Hollywood Studios will again be welcomed to Fantasmic!. This iconic show has been on hiatus since closing over two years ago due to the impact of the pandemic. Now, the show is returning and it has been enhanced to make it more magical than ever before! Ahead of its return, Walt Disney World shared a video and some photos showing off the updated show.
The updated enhancements will make the show look better than ever before. “It was extremely exciting to take advantage of technological enhancements that didn’t originally exist when the show opened in 1998,” says Katrina Mena Rick, broadcast creative producer for Disney Live Entertainment. “So, we [worked] with other disciplines such as special effects, lighting, lasers and music to ensure that our visual content was as exactly seamless and as beautiful as it could be.”
“Bringing back Fantasmic! here at Disney’s Hollywood Studios means so much to our guests,” says Mena Rick. “It was a task to not only preserve the legacy of the show but also introduce new characters for the next generation.”
