The firing pattern shifts into sweeping fan formations, filling the entire horizon with shimmering willows and glittering bursts. Just as you think the display has peaked, Thunderbolt One unleashes its finale: a powerful “W”-shaped volley of golden willows laced with time rain crackle, a dramatic ending that resonates with sound and spectacle.
