Fireworks Test April 30

[BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023]

For anyone at the Fort this week, an internal firework test will take place on Tues. April 30 between 10 p.m. and 11:55 p.m. The test will be made up of five instances of three second bursts of fireworks.

Why?

[Lou... 3,118]

Why not?

[GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799]

Just wondering if they're prepping for a future event.

[BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023]

Sounds like a quickie.  Maybe they're testing a particular mortar/effect.

 

Also sounds like we need a Fiend on the Scene™ to go check it out and report back.  :)

Disney doesn't use mortars, IE, black powder, to fire their fireworks. Ever notice how quiet they are as they go up?

Disney invented and holds the patent for firing fireworks by using a compressed gas, also known as compressed air.

They also use electronic fuses that are able to detonate the explosion at exactly the right time. That's how they're able to make the Mickey head.

You are a bottomless pit of knowledge, Lou!  :)

 

 

And I just heard the music to this in my head

I thought Dave had the patent on compressed gas?

I have been litigating this with Disney for 3 years now.  I'm hoping they offer to settle.  I'll give up the patent for a salted caramel.

Just one? Don't sell yourself short Dave, aim for 3 or more!

Thanks, uhh, I think.

They conducted a test a couple of weeks ago too.

Those are the lazy dopes that STOLE my patent.  Hence, the lawsuit.

Geez Lou did you forget to put your glasses on? It is there as clear as day.

What can I say, I've been having some eye issues lately.

I'm going to call a 1/2 B S on this one. The large fire works fired off outside the magic kingdom are the old fashion kind. You can see the fuses burning as the go up before they explode. The ones inside the park fired off the top of building and such I can belive.

Recently someone, actually two people, doubted something I posted. To get a definitive answer, I contacted the person at WDW who would absolutely know the answer and asked him. His email to me, which I posted here, confirmed that what I said was correct. Will I have to do the same with you numbnuts?

But before I do, you might want to do 30 seconds worth of research or go back to where they fire off the fireworks and look at the tubes. They are used night after night and that wouldn't be the possible if they were using black powder in those tubes night after night.

Also to make it interesting I think a small wager is in order. I will bet you one extra large pizza, delivered.

I will await your response schmuck face.

[Katman1356...Jason 1,140]

Oh it's a throwdown!!!

[Beckers 1,136]

Oh a dueling schmuck faced bus driver challenge. Someone pass the popcorn!

Wow! Black powder used in a metal tube can't be used over and over? Don't tell all those people using those cannons for the last couple hundred years that! A wager does sound like the aproperate thing to do.

The wager is they don't use compressed gas to shoot the large fireworks that are not "inside" the MK.

Deal?

And to up the bet, I say that the same fireworks as mentioned in the previous bet do not have electronic fuses to detonate the firework in the air.

Lets say add pepperoni? Just to make things interesting. :-D

LOL!  Trying to remember what thread that came from, but then again around here it probably applies to quite a few. 

[DaveInTN 3,247]

This is an entertaining thread.  And I don't even care how they shoot the real fireworks...it's the bus driver fireworks that are interesting.
