Do they only put it up for the first showing? Or does it go back down before the 10:30 showing as well?

Well, now that our great viewing spot is all over "the internets"....
(I kid, I learned about it here, too).

The center light tower comes down between shows. I've never tried standing benhind it for the first show...we always go to the late show. I've often wondered why Tower B is the only tower to come back down during the evening. There are people up in Towers A & C, but it seems they remain up there between shows. The operators up in Tower B climb down between shows. It's interesting to watch them climb up while you're waiting.

The cool part about standing there (if you have seen the show many times before) is watching the people at the controls. If you know when the pyro flashes are coming, look over at the control table. All at once, you will see all 3 - 4 of them raise their arms up to shield their eyes with their hands just before the flashes. They're so in sync with it, too. It cracked me up the first time I noticed it. The next night, I had to tell hubby about it so he could watch them, too.

Enjoy the show, everyone!
