Thumbs up Alton vs Wolfeboro

(Fireworks over water are always better for some reason). I normally do the Wolfeboro fireworks. How does Alton stack up??
I'm going to disagree w/UTS here. Having done both the Wolfeboro and Alton fireworks (by boat) over the last few years, I'm going to say Alton is better. Perhaps it's because I've been closer the the action in Alton or perhaps it's the hills, which contain and reverberate the sound, but I prefer the Alton show. Given it's a new company this year it's impossible to say whether history will repeat itself. Luckily we can do both so there's no need to choose.

UTS - thx re: Rt28A info. I was hoping that given the new launch site this would be the case. Guess we'll see.
