The show is nearly a decade old...
Maybe they should go for something along the lines of DLs 50th, themed to the park...

It's taking almost everything I have to keep from making jokes about a fireworks show based around new bathrooms, fancy meet-and-greets and shuttered attractions.

I don't want to see Wishes go away. I love that firework show, and would be very disappointed to see it taken away.

Don't worry. TDO will make sure you're satisfied.

I think it's definitly time for Wishes to go. It's a fine show but come on, it's been ten years already!
I'm actually surprised they haven't better utilized the projection technology in Wishes, similar to Disney Dreams. They already do a castle projection show, so you would think it would be a no brainer to integrate projections into Wishes.

Please no!WDW needs WOC type fountains in some way! Either the Wishes replacement or Illuminations. Even Universal has somewhat attempted it!
I vote for the entire World Showcase lagoon to be made into a major fountain show!
another thought...How can you see the full show with all affects from the all around the lagoon? (keep in mind its TDO)

Just from a technical standpoint, there's no way that a fountain show like WOC could be done in World Showcase Lagoon. The entire lagoon would have to be drained in order to install the piping for the fountains as well as the water filtration system that keeps gunk and stuff from collecting on the fountains. Paradise Bay at DCA is a lot smaller than World Showcase Lagoon and is also a concrete lined man-made body of water, which allowed it to be easily drained.
Even if the lagoon could be drained, that would mean that walls would have to be put up all around the World Showcase, which would spoil the gorgeous views. It would also mean the end of the boats that crisscross the lagoon. I wouldn't mind some new show that utilizes elements from World of Color, I just don't think that a full-blown World of Color type show could be done at Epcot.

Precisely why I don't watch RoE anymore. Not worth the wait.

IMO I would like them to utilize the projection system on the castle during the fireworks make it look like the characters are launching them..

Part of me wants to agree that Wishes is getting old, but then there's that part of me that still loves seeing the 40+ year old Main Street Electrical Parade every night. Go figure.
At minimum, Wishes needs to be refreshed, I think we can all agree on that. How hard can it be to update a fireworks show? I'd like to see something themed to the MK, similar to DL's 50th show, but at the same time keep the same theme as Wishes - does that make sense? I like the idea of "wish upon a star" and all that, but it needs a little more than the same scenes/music it's had for years now.
