Get ready for Roar on the Shore

Tues 16th June 09, 22.24
Three years after helping the City of Plymouth create a new world rocket record, I'm delighted to announce that we are going to try and beat it - this time in Bournemouth. The town's Tourism department were so impressed by the worldwide media coverage created for Plymouth that they have asked Fantastic Fireworks to create a new world record on the evening of Thursday 20th August. As I write this, 110,000 rockets are being assembled in China, each one bearing the legend Roar on the Shore. They will be launched from a pontoon in Bournemouth Bay, and if successful will easily eclipse the 56,000 record set in Plymouth. All FF friends, their families and our thousands of web visitors are invited to come watch this amazing spectacle, which heralds the start of the town's Air Festival. It will be preceded by a 10-minute display which we will also be firing from a pontoon shortly before the record bid. Please watch here for more details.

The Truth Is Out There...

Could Fantastic Fireworks be at the root of the current UFO hysteria sweeping Luton?

Our local paper reported last week that several spooked out residents had been in contact after spotting a series of bright lights gliding silently across the night skies. Apparently six or seven of these lights hovered eerily above the town, equally spaced, rotating around each other, before breaking up and heading east. They were large, very bright, orangey in colour, and vanished all of a sudden - almost ‘like a light burning out’. Numerous theories were put forward as to what they could be, but a couple of clued up readers who contacted the paper may have just got it fathomed! They suggested the mysterious objects were nothing more than Chinese Sky Lanterns..... as sold by the town’s premier fireworks supplier FF! Whether or not the Lanterns actually came from our Rocket Shop I really couldn’t say, but the thought of it did make me chuckle! :o)
