Interesting! I wonder how they would have managed that size a crowd if they pulled the plug 10 minutes before the show…

I suppose they'd have kept the DJ going so a decent amount of people stuck around and slowly moved people off. Could have been chaos if they did it wrong. I would hope they would of had a backup plan in case something like this happened.

I’m guessing they may just run the show without the fireworks (they do they on the Thursday night), so at least there is something to show people. Then I imagine a lot of free return tickets will be issued

They would have sent a million apologies out over the PA.

Think Friday was the best night as far as the firework show was concerned. A mild but dry day and a properly black sky as the backdrop - perfect conditions! By Sunday it had got a lot colder and the moisture in the air created a haze which reduced visibility somewhat. Didn't go on Saturday, which from the sounds of things was probably just as well!

Note to self: Wear a warmer coat next year...

Someone on Spotify has created a playlist of all the songs used in the fireworks (minus the coaster tracks!)

That's great. It's a shame the coaster soundtracks aren't on Spotify because I know I'd listen to them.

I have them on a memory stick permanently plugged into my car's USB socket along with the IMAScore soundtrack CD and the Simon Allen tracks too!

I would imagine exactly same way the manage the crowd when the show ends, when you have 25,000 people dispersing from the lawns. Unless you ment differently?

Yeah I meant managing 25,000 disgruntled guests , but i guess they’d just manage them in the same way as they do when the show ends thinking about it!

Hey, at least the box office/guest services could go for 'Guinness World Record for the longest queue of complaining customers'

Isn’t that usually ‘Guest Services: The Ride’ at Thorpe?
