Experience storytelling like never before with a wonderful new 45-minute drone light show adaptation of the classic novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
Join Dorothy and her faithful dog, Toto, as they embark on a whirlwind adventure that begins with a cyclone sweeping them from their Kansas farm to the Land of Oz. Along the way, they meet unforgettable friends: the brain-seeking Scarecrow, the heart-longing Tin Woodman and the courage-craving Cowardly Lion. Together, they bravely confront the Wicked Witch and other life challenges, reminding us of the strength found in friendship and the power of self-belief.
