We had a BLAST learning how to electronically detonate pyrotechnics, water cannons, squibs, and fireballs. We definitely recommend this experience for anyone who'd like to get a front seat to special effects the way they're done in the movies!

Shooting a real fireworks show was the most intense and exciting experience I've ever had!  It shook me in and out, and I'm hooked.
