A new nighttime drone show may be coming soon to Universal Studios Florida.
Sources have revealed that testing has begun for a new nighttime show at the park utilizing drones to create images in the sky. This technology has been used before by both Disney and Universal, but sparingly.
It’s unclear if the show will be simply added to the lineup, replacing Cinematic Celebration, or used for a special event. No official word has come at this time, and Universal Creative often develops or tests ideas that never come to fruition.
Drones would provide a solution for Universal’s nighttime show problem. Because Universal Orlando Resort is in the city proper and surrounded by residential neighborhoods (including an apartment complex directly backed up to the property), their shows feature little to no pyrotechnics. Drones could be substituted to create the “impressive” element that many guests have complained is missing from the lagoon shows.
This is a developing rumor; stay tuned for further updates.
