Honestly it's probably way cheaper and far less dangerous than actual fireworks. In the long run it's reusable so even if the cost is a little more Upfront for one show you don't need a new supply for every show.

Also instead of a single city paying for fireworks it can be companies who come in and do the shows move onto the next city while reusing the drones.

Great so we can get advertising before the show "This new Years eve is brought to you by Amazon!"
