mike and patti Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Hi Chuck, I think laser lighting is in order. My idea is take a high powered multi colored laser and make a mega tree with it at the top pointing down in a circular motion. Of course you would need a license to operate the laser and a haze or fog machine in the base of the tree so the light would show up. We live near Daytona Beach airport so I can't shine the laser up in the sky. I am looking into doing this for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lightzilla Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I would want to get a full section of land and decorate 640 acres. I would need my own power transformers (7 of them to start with) on the property. 640 acres of bush with no house on it.I would buy another 640 acres adjacent to the 1st 640 acres to build a 2 story house on, that will house all the people that will work for me. The house would be 320 acres in size and the hallways would be big enough to run golf carts up and down.I would have many storage building to house all the lights and decorations and what not.Now the 640 acres that is to be decorated would be a walk/drive threw display or people can hop on a train and view the display. Under the main display will be a underground display to house the indoor Christmas exhibits . The under ground exhibit will be 160 acres in size. There will be food establishments as will to satisfy the thirst and hunger of folks.I would like a 1 hour fireworks display that will be synchronized to music that would go of nightly at 10:00pm. The show would run from Nov.1st to Jan.15th from 5:00pm to 12:00pm nightly, but the 2 weeks leading up to Christmas the display will be open from dusk to dawn.All donations people make will go to charities.I would however max out my channel capacity right off the bat. I will go with 100 million lights the 1st year I open and then add on from there. I figure that in 3 years time I will add another 640 acres and with 100 million lights to start with as well.There will be professional hockey going on ever other night for peoples enjoyment. I will fly in the Queen of England and the Prim-minister of Canada for the opening and closing ceremonies.Celebrities like Brad Pitt, Kenny Chesney, Terri Clark, Nickleback, etc will be there nightly to serve the people.Naturally, all the mega trees will be natural, and hopefully there will be natural arches from fallen trees etc. If it can be dreamed and manufactured and would look good in the display it will be there.I would like to add that all viewers who come to see the display will be given a 14 carrot gold pin with the display logo on it. There well be weekly winners while the show runs that will win a brand new house that will be 7 acres in size with a 7 acre front yard that will be fully decorated each year for life.I forgot to mention that the second 640 acres will have an underground amusement park.I will have my own police force to watch over everything.This will do for starters.

Guest Don Gillespie Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Well not quite as big as Scott I think I would move to some where warm and hire peasants to put up my display and take it down wait a minute why do we have to take it down, leave it up all year and really aggravate my wife ya thats it LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitePlainsNY Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I'd keep my display as it is but I'd pay everyone that saw it to say that it was the, "best I've ever seen, far and above the rest". I figure that's less work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first post is the one I would like to do.In the reality world I cannot afford a new controller this year nor anymore lights.........at least job security says that.So I stay with 176 channels and 22,000 lights for another year.......so it would seem at this time. O K by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
