After the show the performers return which is an oddly anticlimactic way to end the Aquacolour Spectacular. It'd perhaps make more sense to give them the farewell they deserve before the show, not after.
The show however is visually stunning and makes great use of the lake.
The only criticism of Aquacolour Spectacular might be that it feels a little too pre-packaged, rather than a show that captures the heart and soul of Sea World and Carnivale.
The show this year is shorter and also cuts out some of the more extraneous elements like the jet-pack performers, which results in a show that feels a little more focused.
The Aquacolour Spectacular show this year starts with a display of fire twirling.

Staple props of past Carnivales return.
The children's rides of Nickelodeon Land always look great after dark.
Sky Flyer's structure dominates the skyline at night.
The ride is vibrant, though rather out of place at Sea World.
Sky Flyer puts the carnival in Carnivale for 2019.
