Firework displays

[J T]

I went with a group of friends to a large organised fireworks display and it was very good indeed. There was one that formed a smiley face pattern when it exploded which I thought was ace

[Stephen Coates]

Was it supposed to make a smiley face?

[Harrison]

The ones that form images are really cool. The best I've seen was a few years ago when the new Walt Disney cruise ship docked at Southampton and they put on a really good firework display and some of them made a Mickey Mouse Face which was really cool.

[J T]

Was it supposed to make a smiley face?

Yes.

I've not see the 'Mickey' shaped fireworks that Harrison mentioned, but they sound cool. Saw some that exploded into heart shapes before, that was really quite good too.

[Stephen Coates]

I've never seen fireworks that go into funny shapes.

[J T]

I think they are a relatively new thing, I don't remember seeing them more than 2 or 3 yeards ago.

Our local event got cancelled after 3 mins.
Ash was landing on the kiddies and a few had to be treated by St Johns Ambulence staff.
On possibly the windiest day of the year, apparently they were caught out by the wind changing direction.

[Harrison]

That must have been disappointing. What will they do with all the fireworks now then?

[TiredOfLife]

Nothing has been announced, so the suspicion is the fireworks will be mothballed for next year.

[Harrison]

A cunning way to get twice the money in admission for the same fireworks.
