Reflections of Earth improvements including new lasers

[wdisney9000]

We'll be there in a few weeks. Maybe we will watch from the Canada steps also. Sounds like a good spot. Thanks.

The video hunt is like searching for bigfoot. Surely we all agree that a video should have been uploaded by now that shows improvements, but we just can't find it!

 

[JEANYLASER]

awesome!

Tell me about it. Hopefully there will be at least two in the coming days. One from this site.

And POE starts next week.

Exciting!

And despite the annoying screaming in that video, it does offer a few nice glimpses... you can actually see BARS of light during Celebration. Reminds me of IllumiNations 88 and 25.

But where are the sharks with frikken lasers

 

[wdwmagic]

Here you go fellas.

Video was over exposed a tad to give the best look at the lasers.

 

[marni1971]

Yay! First "proper" video!

Although the American laser terminates half way through the show the difference is clear.

Imagine how they'll all look when the program is complete. At the moment installation and programming is still ongoing.

Thanks Steve!

Jaw dropping. I'm forcibly reminded of IllumiNations 88 and World of Color.

Can't wait to see the whole package AND this in person AND what goes on for Peace on Earth. Love it.

Definitely an improvement over the previous lasers. I especially like reds and yellows that are used (and now visible) throughout Chaos.

I bet the techs are having a lot of fun with their new toys and seeing what they can do.

 

[ChristianG]

Those lasers look amazing! I am really excited to see the final product.

 

[Jahona]

Wow huge difference between the new ones and the old ones. I'm looking forward to seeing them next year when I go back.

 

[Sage of Time]

Feeling good about EPCOT through the power of LASERS.

I like this.

Thanks for sharing this. They look great!

Nearly time for Peace on Earth...

As much of an EPCOT fan as I am, I actually never got a chance to ride the Cronkite version. My first visit to EPCOT Center was in the spring of 1986 a month or two before they switched the original narration to Walter's, and then my second visit wasn't until spring of 1995 after they'd switched to the Jeremy Irons version...

I don't know that you missed anything. I prefer both the original Perrin and the Irons versions over Cronkite. And outside of the nostalgia factor, I don't enjoy the cloying "Tomorrow's Child." Give me the dramatic musical finale of the Irons version any day.

Of course all three of these narrations were better than the Judi Dench version we have now.

 

[marni1971]

Each to their own. Cronkite and Tomorrows Child wins for me.

 

[Sage of Time]

Loved Cronkite and Tomorrow's Child, but my heart lies with Irons and that spectacular model of a futurist city sparkling and glittering with fiber optics... and then that amazing model of Spaceship Earth surrounded by stars. Perfect and striking symbolism.

Nearly time for Peace on Earth...

Nervously excited.

 

[marni1971]

and then that amazing model of Spaceship Earth surrounded by stars.

Bit of a crush.... It wasn't a model. It was a flat painted ball!

Anyway, Peace on Earth. Can't wait to see what they've done....
