Yep! Even after its replaced, it'll hold the position of one of the best out there for many, many years.

Good Interview, even though he was at Epcot last night watching ROE for the 10th anniversary and also associated big party. I thought they might add some backstage secrets like the dedication plaque on the inferno barge. It is called "Don D's Inferno" (get it?)

Ever seen the video of them testing all the different fire effects before they finalized the barge?
So cool.

^Agreed! It was bad enough when when they stopped blowing out the torches.

ROE's WDI Project Lead showed it to a group of Engineering CPs during my program, and I was lucky enough to be one of the group.

It's a nice show for it's day but Epcot's nightly spectacular really needs to be made more "21st Century".
The show has problems with scale also. Some of it's elements are almost lost due to the size of the "stage".
WoC and the current show in Tokyo is more along the lines of what Epcot deserves and hopefully gets soon.

When I watch videos of the DisneySea show it makes me wonder how Illuminations has lasted as long as it has. I don't dislike Illuminations but it is now far from what Disney can do with new tech. And when people see WoC they are going to be stunned by what modern technology can do and is failing to do by using outdated show at Epcot.
Epcot should be more about vision than nostalgia. IMO.

As much as I love RoE, I wouldn't mind seeing a show that uses water like WoC or BraviSEAmo (er, you know what I mean) to come to the lagoon.
Wasn't the blue sky show called Sky Dance a while back?
