To enhance the quality of the immersive All Systems Are Go experience, an original score, created by Allaire and Ferguson exclusively for the show, will showcase an eclectic mix of orchestral, contemporary, and jazz styles. The Universe Theater has been updated with screens, lights and integrated laser projectors. Before the show even starts, guests can participate in an interactive experience via their smartphones to reveal hidden space elements and create a unique music sequence.
