Rocket Mania

This is a video of the 300,000 rockets fired at the Mikuni Fireworks Festival, held at WadaBeach, Fukui, Japan in 2004.

Each year, they try to add a few more to the mix as back in 2003, they fired 200,000 rockets and then in 2004, 300,000 rockets and the festival continues annually much to the delight of the thousands of firework fans who make their way along every year. The fireworks are second to none, all huge and filling the sky with bright colours and loud noises and with effects from HUGE shell bursts that hang in the air for ages, to smiley faces and love hearts.
