I think I've only seen FoN work perfectly once.

The fountain, AND the fiber optics in the ground of the old innoventions core
There's a bunch of people who just posted that the fountain was not free from operational issues. And yet, you decided to double down on the reliability of the fountain?

The fountain may have had some problems from time to time with the show sequences, but generally was running...it was also 40 year old technology...As far as I know it was never completely overhauled with newer tech, lighting etc... It added so much as opposed to the planter...

Sure, the fountain could break. But for the most part, it didn't detract from the show. The current issue is much more of a black mark than one malfunctioning water spout on a fountain of dozens.

Disney really has some einsteins running things now. They spent all that money and it's worse looking now than it was.
Plus for some reason they put a Starbucks in the same place as the quick service. So if your eating a meal you can't find a seat. People who are just getting a Latte or whatever are sitting in them.

I'm glad you surveyed everyone who watched a FoN show over the decades in which jets were pointed in all sorts of directions -- when they were shooting any water at all -- and got from them the feedback that the broken jets didn't detract from their enjoyment of the show. You're very dedicated.

What's the matter? Did the fountain spray you or something?
How could they? I just heard in this thread how Old WDI made them run perfectly, unlike anything they've done in the past decade.

The fountain, even in its deferred maintenance-state, was better than what's there now. I will not be drawn into your igloo of argument here. Let's agree to disagree.

That is a great point...no matter what bitsa if the show sequence might not be working temporarily, it still beats the boring planter that sits there now. I have been going to EPCOT since it opened, a ridiculous amount of times, and honestly I never saw the fountain broken that I noticed.....
