Attendees say Toronto's big drone display turned out to be a confusing mess Toronto
over Toronto on Friday night, but if you were part of the mass crowds who gazed hopefully towards Lake Ontario for a glimpse of the display, well, you probably didn't see a damn thing.
The August 4 display saw five hundred synchronized drones take to the skies, though crowds who gathered along the shores of Woodbine Beach on Friday evening to witness the 12-minute display saw nothing but black skies looking back at them from over the water. The free-to-watch show was presented by Tennis Canada in partnership with Canadian Traffic Network ULC and Skyworx Drone Shows to kick off the National Bank Open tennis tournament.
However, a vague message from organizers that the show would be visible from Woodbine Beach between 9 and 10 p.m. failed to convey which direction attendees should look, or what specific time the display would begin. Attendees took to social media on Friday night to voice their disappointment at the jumbled messaging and overall experience, including one Reddit post that described the drone show unfolding"more like a gong show."
