Enkil,
Personally, I never did like finales like that for 2 reasons. First of all, there's no variations, just redundancy. Secondly, the effect will be the same, just building on and on. Of course, I find them very beautiful when they trail into the river, but this was more suited for a segment in between rather than for the finale. I'm pretty sure everyone looks for color in a finale. But yes, it is beautiful and yes, it was similar to Holland's ending last year, though that was slightly more intense.
To be honest, before the display started, it was pretty exciting to see some fireworks during the wait.

I was expecting them around the usual time, but not big ones like those. I hope it will be like that for the other displays, too.
Regards,
Trav.
