I just think the ending needed something more. It lacked a wow factor

Why spend money on a new interim show when they have an... Interim show?

My question is how Disney accounts for the wasted money on Harmonious. Surely it will hinder just how much is spent on the new permanent show. I dont like to keep beating the dead drum of "Why not I:ROE", but... Happily Ever After is back from the dead, and it would kill two birds with one stone. 1. It will be MUCH less than creating a new show, and 2. It had a dedicated fanbase and a proven track record of success. Pretty sure HEA fit that criteria as well.
ROE would need a New Earth Globe. IDK how much that would be........
EF has had a weird life(Let's hope 2023 is a smooth run)but it might have a Fan Base?? All who've been around Epcot for years enjoys the old Music/Feel.

Because the Interm show is even worst. But your point is valid. They will go back to EF
. The version with out the kites, which were one of the few features I liked about EF.
I beg to differ, but that’s the beauty of opinion
Peanuts. But one would hope it would be a redesigned, modern version. Not sometime designed in 1997.
Hypothetically of course lest some get excited.

Most on the forums know my undying love for EF. It isn't reciprocated by many.

OkayI beg to differ, but that’s the beauty of opinion
. I know EF has some fans. I just find it the worst of the lot. For me It ranks just ahead of Illuminations 25a . Horrible ending. If they bring it back I hope they could at least do a new ending. EF's whole new world is.....zzzzzzzzz.

Okay
EF would be better if they replaced the children narration and the ending. But, highly unlikely that’ll happen.

It will be ironic when EF avoids Epcot’s 40th with surgical precision…the one day it should have hit.

And epcot forever wasn't supposed to keep coming back foreverAnd Harmonious was supposed to be permanent.

Too late.
We will most likely be there with Epcot Forever, so oh well. We will watch and enjoy it enough.
If somehow the new show could have an original score that was 75% as amazing as Illuminations, I wouldn't care what kind of special stuff they add like drones, etc.
Tremendous music and great fireworks would be enough for me.

They have already wasted enough money on Harmonious, they might as well spend the money and bring an updated version of IllumiNations back to Epcot. Epcot forever while only meant to be temporary it was weak. Poor finale and most guests had no clue what the music was for. It was a see once for us and didn't have to see it again. Hopefully if it does return it's for a very short run.
I presume it would be written off like any other attraction that didn't last long enough to amortize its expense (Superstar Limo).
Whether they have an accounting bucket labeled "EPCOT nighttime spectacular" from which they are limited in expenditures, or, they pull from other buckets and some future project is now delayed or cancelled, I do not know.
If they leave exactly when the 50th ends... see my sig.
