    1. Bro, they used to have multiple fireworks sessions every Friday and Saturday night for years. Drone show is likely way more cost efficient.

      Surprised that the comments so far haven’t realised that there are hundreds of drones dropping into the water…

      Oh CASA and the ATSB are gonna have a field day with this one. Glad everyone is safe though.

      Maybe need to get China to show us how to run a competent drone show.

      lol what the hell. That’s anticlimactic
      are the shows only once a night?

    6. This is the reason why Disney parks have barely used drones in the USA parks cause they don’t want to deal with drones failing.

      But it’s also why they always use the drones over water and not people especially vivid drone shows

    7. there were heaps sitting / returned on the landing pad while the “show” was on

      oh dear….the little splashes as they all drop in to the harbour… oops… is that the result of our awesome nbn network?

    9. CASA is gonna fix the federal budget with how many fines are about to be handed out.

    10. What a complete shambles. At least you got a pretty memorable video out of it.

      I’ve seen drone shows in China and recently (last month) in South Korea. South Korea (Busan) has drone shows every Saturday, two shows per night.

      These drones must be really cheap, the ones that are outdated by 5+ years and sold onto Vivid at premium prices. I took a video if the one I saw, 13 mins, and nothing like this.

      Somebody is making a lot of money every night. Selling faulty drones at premium prices.

    12. That’s a shame as I saw the drone show last night and it was actually one of the best drone shows I have seen. Especially when the drones with the sparklers turned on. Looked like galaxies in the sky.

      We can shit on vivid but the drone show was very good this year.

    13. I went to the later show (called off) but one of the staff told me the earlier show had glitched. I didn’t realise they were going into the water! I hope they retrieved them all. I saw the staging area afterwards and it looked like it was all the drones lined up on the pontoon.

      This is what happened to the Engineers when he drank that black stuff in Prometheus
