Aha... I was one of those who paid the ticket to 'experience' the whole thing. Not pleasant. Was there on the 18th for the opening. Waited from 7pm til 10pm for the fireworks. Had to queue to get my reserved tickets - paid extra RM 10 just to queue with the rest of the people. Lousy organizer.

View from standing spot was quite nice la - right in front of the bridge where the display was being let off. But RM38.50 + RM10 (booking fees konon) for just standing space was not really worth it. Had to fight with other people some more. Once you get your spot and set up your camera, you don't want to move; or else other people will take your spot. Food was very very expensive. So what we did while waiting for 10pm? Just watch VIP cars pass by and trying to guess who they were.

My friends and I were very cheesed-off when the fireworks ended: we purposely bought to see Australian team. They were the ones who made the fireworks for Sydney Olympic Games. But after all the waiting we found out it was only Malaysia performing that night! Wah... our money really burned liow. I hope this message gets to the organizer - the whole experience was not worth the money we paid for. And why the last minute change? Shouldn't your patrons who supported you by buying tickets be informed of your change?!

The only difference is that the competition is a pyro-musical. Meaning the fireworks are sync-ed with music. So if you don't get a spot near to the PICC as much as possible, you won't get the whole experience. I must say, our Malaysian team did quite well. Some of the fireworks sync-ed really well with the music. The slow-mo parts were hair-raising because you could feel the fireworks 'moving' with the music.

Come tomorrow (Wednesday) I will be there to catch Australian team - this time no need to buy tickets. And I will remember to bring my own snacks and drinks. See everyone there!

Yes that's right. Have to pay extra for entrance to 'fun park'. Nothing more to ticket price. Not even a bottle of plain water. Organizers really took us for a ride.

yes... it's different entrance. be forewarned, they temporarily shut down at 10pm for fireworks. It would be nice if you could ask the ferris wheel operator to leave you at the highest point to watch the fireworks, heh!
