News New 'Forces of Nature' acrobatic show debuts at EPCOT

[Comped]

The one last year made more sense I agree, I thought it was quite a clever idea personally. As my wife pointed out afterwards, the costumes the ladies were wearing probably had much to do with my attention and enjoyment

Wouldn't be the first time someone went to see a show just for the outfits... Barbie anyone?

Don’t worry, they’re just moving over to GEO-82 to be the featured exotic dancers.

I mean Disney did hire most of Orlando's "dancer" contingent to preform at the opening night of Pleasure Island back in the day!

Attractive bodies are... attractive. So, it had that going for it.

But as someone who follows gymnastics (competitive and for fun)... what those ladies did wasn't that difficult for any gymnast or acrobat. Then again, I couldn't imagine them doing something more daring without mats and spotters.

So, it was what it was.

the “Star” Acrobat today was definitely doing some difficult tricks. I only saw it today so perhaps they were showing off cause it was the last day. I was surprised at how much she did from the very top of the structure.

I agree with you but also with Mr penguin. The star acrobat, who's also the nightmare Queen from nightmare fuel at HHN, definitely did stunts more impressive than the rest. The rest were pretty basic and atmospheric.

I remember the show didn't get a lot of love on this forum and I don't know what people were expecting. But I'm glad to see I'm not the only one sad to see it go. It was simple. You didn't have to plan for it. It was one of those things that if you caught it it added to your day and if you didn't that was fine too. Disney needs more entertainment like that. It adds so much life to the park. Intimate Crowds of 20 to 50 people, most of whom are catching the show on a whim, are perfectly okay and definitely add to the Disney theme park experience.

I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money, any old music will do...

No wonder the high cost of the fireworks viewing package.

The minute you walked in the joint
I could see you were a man of distinction
A real big spender...

Josh himself will be doing the exotic dancing for the price being asked…..
Twice each evening.

I mean…. Still more than I could do! Haha. And also quite a bit more impressive than the Encanto show.

Same for me! My talent level is.... Well let's just say some people can play an instrument. I can play the radio.

And same I would rather have this than the encanto show in a heartbeat. In a heartbeat.

Heck maybe just put this at the encanto show? lol

There are currently two magicians performing where the Forces of Nature setup was. Were these guys somewhere else previously? I’ve never seen these two before

Now wondering if this is a trial, there’s two park ops people watching (and one custodian who’s cheering enthusiastically)

I saw 2 jugglers performing there today. Not many stopping to watch.

They are really killing the Epcot vibe with loud Encanto music and things like this in my opinion

The DJ is worse!

Extremely. It’s like they got together to decide how to destroy the feel of Epcot and did the construction and new “entertainment”

The icing on the cake would be kitetails in the showcase lagoon next

Shhhhhhh. Don't give them any ideas.

I mean they've been doing things like this at EPCOT for decades now.

The Encanto thing I agree but random street performers doing random BS as guests walk by is practically woven into EPCOT's very DNA.

Not sure if it's been noted already, but the structure where the performances were on is gone now.
