Weird. The circle nearest to CommuniCore Hall was back off at about 7:15pm last night when we walked by (as were the center lights).
EDIT: Looking back at the pics, I don't think we went that far into World Nature. So, just to be clear, it could be that only the one outside CCH was broken while the others are working.

They're trolling us at this point.

Totally missed this, sorry. I'll ask around and see if I can figure out what's going on.

No worries. I would guess that they’re working on the show programming for them and decided to just keep them shut off until that’s done, but the fact that the ones by Communicore Hall are already having issues worries me. Although from the looks of it, it seems like the issues are computer/controller related and not actual hardware issues.

Wasn't able to dig up any relevant new info other than they've been on after park close every night for more testing. Sounds like work is still actively going on. Entrance plaza work is happening too, though not sure anything is noticeable yet other than the band inside the fountain working again.

As of last night the ribbon lighting around the entrance plaza perimeter is still completely broken, fountain lighting is still good, aside from one or two lights being out. Any word on the central spotlight coming back?

Central spotlight will come back soon, work is actively happening on it. Worth mentioning it's different teams working on the entrance plaza and the central spine, they have contractors doing the ground lighting repairs. I would imagine part of leaving them off is just so they can sign off on the project when it's completely finished and turn it all back on then, rather than having them work irregularly/unreliably and feed into people's complaints.

Maybe we need to hold our Magic Bands or phones close, along with a finger, to get the correct green lighting.Ah, so Epcot now has it's own Red Ring of Death..But blue..
Disney needs to solve this like they solve most of their pernicious problems:
1. Find out what company is in the forefront of LED installations.
2. Buy it.

Well I think that is what they had already hoped they did. The inground system is an off-the-shelf product by a specialist vendor.

Which, theoretically means it’s up to the vendor to get it right

Most of the time, there is either an implied or written workmanship warranty from the installer, at minimum. This is in addition to any warranty from the manufacturer of the product. But given the nature of commercial construction at this scale, there is a web of contractors, subcontractors, vendors and manufacturers to work with, which is likely part of the reason why it took so long for fixes to begin being worked on.
