Show, boat parade wow Riverfront crowd

Evansville Courier News - Sat, 07/05/2008 - 00:00
I hope (people go away) with wow capital W-O-W, said show producer Clarence Mann , who has produced almost eight shows, said with a chuckle. It all comes down to pacing. A fireworks show is like a roller-coaster ride. You want to take them up the hill, then you want to zip them down the hill, then go through the curves and back around, slide them back down and then were going to slow it down a minute and creep back up the hill. Its just like a roller-coaster ride. Thats the wow factor.
