I saw a lot at Fantasmic last time.Really? I literally never see anyone wearing them these days.

I don't want to sound jaded, but I don't see anything here that I didn't see at DCA 5 years ago. I'm glad you guys finally have a decent dance party tho.
Really? I haven't ever seen any firework, laser, fountain show and park wide rave party at DCA..
Ignite is spectacular. Such a good show. Takes WOC, Illuminations and combines them!
Then you've probably never been to DCA.
Glow Fest - Summer 2010
ElecTRONica - Late 2010 - 2012
Mad T Party - 2012-2016
World of Color adds fireworks seasonally, but the core show doesn't include them.
BUT AGAIN, Electric Ocean looks like a lot of fun, can't wait to see how it's done here in SD and looks like a great addition to SWO.
Having been there tonight, I have to say the "parkwide rave" was pretty annoying, especially when they were playing the same songs over and over.I've been to Mad T numerous times. Pretty sure it's just in that area in the back of the Hollywood section... even if it takes up the whole Hollywood land it's still smaller than EO.

I agree, but it's a toss up between CineSpec and Ignite (the festival itself is Electric Ocean).I mean it is a nice show with a great theme but it's far too short, lacks fireworks until the VERY ending and the rave section in the middle felt very random. I personally would much rather watch Happily Ever After over Electric Ocean.
If SeaWorld can do a nightly fireworks show of this magnitude, why can't Universal? Don't both parks have similar "neighbor" issues?

Wow Ignite looks really well done. Congrats to Sea World. They know how to put on a show.
As woeful as Cinespec is, I honestly think Rivers of Light gives it a run for it's money as far as worst nighttime show goes (depending on your personal tastes, of course). RoL seems like it should be a pre-show to a much better show imo.That's the difference. SeaWorld's Entertainment team has proven they know how to put on a show multiple times. Cinematic Spectacular isn't bad by any means...but not great enough to be 5 years deep as their sole nighttime headliner.
I thoroughly enjoyed the night time shows last night (Monday, June 19)...some more than others.
Sea Lions Tonight has always been a fun show, and the latest version is the best so far. The parodying of Dolphin Days and Kraken Unleashed had me in tears. I'm also happy the mime is back for it.
Club Sea Glow was interesting and a great way to get interactive with the guests. We caught the beginning before it was time to head over to Shamu Stadium.
I really loved the decor around the area. They really went all out.
Shamu's Celebration: Light Up The Night was ok, but honestly think Shamu Rocks was much better. We were just underwhelmed. Out with the old and in with the new I suppose. Part of it may have been that it was a long day with dodging rain & reworking our day with temporary closures earlier so we were pretty much ready to go. That's what I get for only getting a couple hours sleep the night before (I'm a night owl so it threw me off trying to go to bed so early...lol).
I did enjoy the pre-show since it puts people on the spot to either dance or hide...of which I have video of...lol It seemed some of the orcas weren't performing all their parts so there seemed to be a lot of down time about halfway though. Maybe I'm just being overly critical since I'm still stuck back when the trainers could still be in the water with them. It just isn't the same. I do find it better than One Ocean I'll admit as that show just doesn't do much for us and we mostly skip it when we come. Hopefully when it's replaced with what they've put in at the San Diego park it will be better.
Ignite. We almost left after Shamu, but ended up staying for Ignite. I'm glad we did. It was awesome. We watched from the pathway between Bayside Stadim and the park entrance by the water. We snagged some chairs and had a front row seat...from the side. It was still great and didn't have the obstruction of the stage. I know some video has been shared, but here's mine:
