Could be that fiery red was selected as the portal color for The Isle of Berk to connect with story of Hiccup using the forge to create his many contraptions. Portal seen at twilight from Helios Grand Hotel.
Photos of RGB floodlight testing in The Isle of Berk. Combinations of Red, Green, and Blue lamps create countless colors in the spectrum. Seeing only one lamp at a time identifies a lamp that is beginning to have problems. Floods overlap. This method identifies them easier.
Hotel room views of the development of foundations for spotlights in front of Helios Grand Hotel.
Spotlights in development on top of Oak & Star Tavern in Epic Universe. Spotlights have also been seen from aerial photos in progress on top of Das Stakehaus. (Not visible from my hotel room.)

Seems like rays of light from Constellation Carousel debuted last night in the nightly show. Very bright changing colors for the whole show. 3rd photo the night before. Verified in video that only the short blue segment was seen then ... about same for the past year.
Constellation Fountain during the nightly Cosmos Fountain closing show. Underwater rays of light and colorful fountains.
