Fireworks over the park→Fantasmic! in the purpose-built Hollywood Hills Amphitheater on Sunset Boulevard.Wikipedia's attraction list gives the run as May 29, 1990 - October 15, 1998, and the Fantasmic! article gives October 15, 1998 as the Florida opening in the Hollywood Hills Amphitheater, built as part of the Sunset Boulevard expansion. Fantasmic! took over the nighttime-spectacular slot; it did not take over the site or the format, and Sorcery in the Sky itself returned for special events from 2001.Tracked byTheme Park Patch Notes - 1990
Sorcery in the Sky debuted at Disney-MGM Studios as the park's nighttime fireworks show.
Wikipedia's attraction list records that the show debuted in the year the film Fantasia was marking its 50th anniversary and 'featured music score from such films as Puttin' on the Ritz, The Wizard of Oz, Singin' in the Rain, The Bridge on the River Kwai, Mary Poppins, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Star Wars, Chariots of Fire, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Fantasia'. D23's entry supplies the inflatable Mickey Mouse with fireworks shooting from his pointing finger.Tracked byTheme Park Patch Notes
