This was the extent of the fireworks that we saw....either red or yellow colored haze. Fog rolled in about 8:00 and just kept getting heavier and heavier. For whatever reason (and we definitely thought it was a poor decision) the Supt. of the park decided to go ahead and start the display on time....even though you could hardly see in front of you. Just from what we heard and the colored haze it had to have been a spectacular display...just too bad no one was able to see it. We had been told that one year they delayed the display until 1:00 am because of the weather....so why they didn't wait for awhile until the fog cleared out we don't know. When we got back to the motorhome within 30 minutes the sky was perfectly clear and you could see thousands of stars! We will definitely plan on coming here again....it has to be too good to not give it another shot. Just felt bad that we had Justin with us and he probably won't be the next time were here. There were literally people that had come from all over the USA just to witness the firework display. We did met a really nice couple from Las Vegas that had their 10-year old granddaughter with them and they had come just for the fireworks. Their motorhome was right in front of ours so we kind hung out together all day. He had been the Chief of Police in Vegas and then was hired by Steve Wynn to head up the security in the new hotel he built several years ago....so he had some interesting stories.
