EPCOT Epcot Forever to debut as interim show before full Reflections of Earth replacement

[trainplane3]

Just watched/listened to the videos @trainplane3 posted (great quality, BTW ). I agree, it seems way too forced to me. I have other quibbles with parts of the script, like the aforementioned quoting Walt to suit current agendas, but that's a different topic.

Thanks! I try but I ain't no Martin or Cliffix. Although, I have been constantly getting compliments on my pictures by my friends on these past couple trips. Watch out @marni1971, I'm coming to take your spot!

There should be some nicer pictures/video potentially coming tomorrow night. It depends.

I hate when they use Walt quotes to match their agenda

You must have a miserable time on these forums, in that case

Special stream tonight

Special stream tonight

~surprise!~

Thanks to the powers that be for setting this up. You know who you are.

So, past, present, and future for this show, right? Who wants to bet that Makin' Memories will play a large presence in it? Of course that's just speculation

The show was firing on all cylinders last night. There was a 5-10 minute rain delay. Our friend was concerned they wouldn't do the lagoon perimeters but the weather ended up clearing a few minutes before the show started. For those that wonder of the views from the dock, here it is. These clips don't do it justice whatsoever. There'll also be a very high quality, show length video coming at some point:


I hate vertical videos but this was the best way to capture this:


It was beyond incredible. That little bit of extra distance into World Showcase lagoon made a world of difference.

Truly the greatest fireworks show ever created!!! I personally enjoy watching it after a good rain because the humidity seems to make everything "pop" more. Thanks for sharing.

No problem! Glad I was able to share in the first place!

The downside was how the wind died down so much after the rain that the smoke settled for a chunk of the show.

"Pop" was a understatement for last night's show:

WOW! I wish the lasers could be like this every single night!!

Amazing videos. Looking forward to the show-length one, I expect it to be one of the best Illuminations recordings I've been able to find!

Oh I am too. I'm not sure how long it'll take for it to go up since I didn't shoot it. The plans they have for it should be pretty neat (2 versions of the video). It did surprise us how much the dock was bouncing throughout the show. The stream on the previous page has the spiel for the dock warning us of it.

I was there on Wednesday night and also was amazed at being able to see the show firing on all cylinders. Looks like it wasn’t just a fluke lol Thank you for sharing the pics and video. It’s greatly appreciated!

Please keep us updated on the video. I’d love to watch it.

Amazing what some fog can do. Perhaps it should be included in the nightly show.

 

[HoldenC]

Is it too much to ask that the new show have lasers that are this amazing night after night? Surely if SeaWorld can do this Epcot can

 

[Thelazer]

If only.

I wish/hope Epcot Forever would get new lasers like this.

I'm sure Bob thinks it's a wasteful expense

Since the forum compressed the far away page...

Anyone know those lyrics?

And someone posted a pic from a test run?

Not sure how legit that site or girl is

And I don't recall seeing these pics posted yet

It's from the preview video months ago. Nothing new.
