Wonder if that qualifies for the biggest wave in the world when it
gets going! That's one of my favorite parts of Fantasmic! I was
screaming a couple of weeks ago. One guy, instead of just raising his
arms, lifted his whole little baby up during the wave! It was pretty
funny.

So that "wave" is standard, is it?

Lot's of chuckles from the audience, lot's of groans too when it
turned at the end of the crowd and went back the other way....time
after time, after time, after time, after time....

There really is something primal to human nature that if we're all in
a massive group long enough, eventually the wave WILL start. I've
been to Fantasmic probably 10 times, and not *once* has it not
happened.

In my March trip, it was really taken to the next level. They weren't
content with just a normal wave. At various points, we had:
* Slow-motion wave
* double-speed wave
* double wave
* circular wave
* send-it-back wave
* oscilating wave

I was pretty danged impressed with the last one. (the ends start at
the same time, with everyone raising half up, and when the two waves
meet in the center, those people stand all the way up).

As for largest wave ever, no. Not even close. Sports stadiums seat
FAR more than 10,000. For example, Yankee stadium seats nearly
60,000.

Probably not, compared to sports stadiums. I know Fenway Park (GO RED
SOX!) is always sold out with 35K plus, and the wave is a common
occurence. And Fenway is one of the smaller sports venues!

I think the coolest "wave" I saw in the theater was my second or third time
seeing the show, though it wasn't a random creation. This was back when they
still had pre-show entertainment. One pre-show act was just a CM telling
jokes, asking kids to tell their favorite jokes, etc.
Well, first he numbered all the sections. Then, he had everyone hold their
cameras up in the air. And when he called your number, you took a picture.
He only did it once, but when he called the numbers in fairly rapid
succession, this wave of camera flashes went from one end to the other. It
was very bright, and very cool. :-)
