Yeah I'm wondering if it says, maybe its related to 4th of July? I hope it stays. Some of it seems like it could be permanent, but a lot of it looks like it maybe is just left over the pyro from a 4th of July test. Also, do we know if they're still going to use the World war 3 barges anymore or if they're just going to use luminous from now on? They used WWIII for NYNYE.
They most likely will. They were used recently for the DVC Moonlight Magic show a couple months ago.

Plus like what the other person said, the Luminous barges don't have that much extra tubes/electronics to hold the additional pyro for those shows/tags.

I needed some time to completely warm up to the show, but this video definitely pulled me across the line. I love it now. Can't wait to see it in person. I thought the pyro looked different and much better in this vide (design wise) than I've seen in others so far. Maybe someone more in the know can tell me if this video includes the extra pyro people on here have been talking about? What a show. Also, these barges are perfect for Epcot imo. Also also, never noticed the torches and country lights go on with each welcome before.

He filmed those shots months ago, the extra pyro was just added a couple of days ago so it doesn't include them.

I am too, can't complain about getting more pyro! Into the unknown got a big upgrade with these changes. Let's just hope they stay!
With both Harmonious and Enchantment, Disney made sure to say when they premiered that they were still waiting on pyro to come in for the show. I think it speaks to Tucker coming in and being able to make a show that stood alone as having great pyro, with possibly some of the effects not yet in place. I am curious, does the spiral effect that happens in the finale also hold the new pyro for the final burst?

Are we sure these are changes that were going to be included from day one?

It needs those loud popping fireworks all over the place at the very end (like they used in illuminations)
Agreed. They're kind of there but there needs to be more and they need to be a lot louder. One of my main criticisms with Harmonious is that i feel like it ended with a whimper instead of a bang. Luminous halfway fixes this problem but i would love to see the big crackles return!

4. Heartbeat of Freedom following Luminous The Symphony of Us at EPCOT

Sensational patriotic fireworks display, “The Heartbeat of Freedom,” will follow the new nighttime EPCOT fireworks show Luminous “The Symphony of Us.” Performances will take place July 3 and 4 at 9 p.m.

Heartbeat of Freedom on both nights is a first.

Even without those last boomers... They were just noise makers but I do think The finale of Luminous easily out fire powers finale of Reflections of Earth. ROE had like 12 mortars in its grand finale. I don't even know how many luminous has.

Yes. This was unexpected but I'm glad to have it.
