Does anyone know what this corner is supposed to be and why it is currently blasting generic pop music? It's sandwiched between CommuniCore and Journey of Water.

They ..."could" play the innoventions loop there...Then anyone could join in and vibe along..I'm all for that..

I'm kind of lost...Exactly where does this play??

It's the main theme . Most obvious place is 180 top.

I don't even think Bruce Broughton acknowledges this..


Still I just can't hear it in the 180 dome segment...If you can find that comparison..That'd be great!

Behold! In-ground lighting that works! (Ignore the broken fountain lighting directly behind it.)

I've heard Lockheed isn't exactly happy with the idea of fireworks often, and their opinions seem to take precedent, even if Lockheed doesn't generate quite as much money in Orlando or the wider state as UO does (though if you consider only Epic vs its neighboring plant, it's not even close and Lockheed generates a few times them in expected economic contribution). Some have claimed they need to approve every time there's fireworks, but unfortunately there's no real source I can find about that!

Is it the nighttime sentries who are afraid of fireworks like dogs are?

It may have something to do with issues if a firework goes off and lands on or causes issues with... whatever they're making over there besides F-35s - last time I checked some sorts of missiles. So that makes sense.

1. EU should have checked with LM before building their fireworks launch site where it is.

2. The nearest LM building is over 5 football fields away. So... <shrug>

3. EU could make their expansion pad between Berk and Potter their new launch site. (And I believe they did have some fireworks launched from that site already.

It just seems strange they didn't work anything out from the beginning. The fountain show is nice, but it's no Bellagio.

I noticed this the other day, it’s left over from the cool kids summer activity they were hosting here. They’ve either forgot or they’re having trouble getting it switched back to the regular BGM

Here’s me at work in a mandatory faculty meeting complaining, once again, about Epcot lights. It’s that bad (the presentation about making thinking visible AND the broken lights).
