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

[TTA94]

Wonder if we have seen the last of EF lol. Personally I’d rather have Harmonious, music wise, return as a temporary show if there is ever a need for one again.

I know it's a massive thread bump from 3 years ago... But the point is still valid...

Why the Thread Bump????? Is Luminous having trouble with not many Guests around WSL or Low Scores??????

No clue. I didn't bump it. I think it may have just been a new member thing.

From what I've heard, Luminous is actually doing decently well.

Luminous is great. Build on it..

Still would be okay with Epcot Forever at After Hours events like Enchantment.

One thing that I like about Luminous is that it follows that old entertainment rule: Tell, don't show.

A after hours with Illuminations using Luminous equipment without the fire or globe would sell it out but of course they won't do that.

I would spend an exorbitant amount of money on a ticket if they did this and the show was true to the RoE concept and well implemented.

Issue is that the big "wow" factor of Illuminations were the pyro barges... doubt they invest in one for just after hour events.

However, would be an "easy" level to pull if attendance slumps and they run RoE for a limited time.

Why couldn't Epcot use Luminous' Barges for ROE Pyro if it's only for After Hours?

ROE's No Globe Version should be super easy to pull off. Plus, less dead time in that Version.

By pyro I meant the large fire explosions lol

Can definitely run ROE there easily... just won't have the impressive wow moments from the missing fire

How would they market that? "illuminations, but with no globe or inferno barge"? Doesn't that eliminate 60% of illuminations?

DUH!!!! I totally forgot the Inferno Barge!!!!!! Long Week with a Cold and Posting on the Fly!!!

I think if they were to do a different After Hours show it’s more likely they would reprogram Harmonious with the new infrastructure than RoE.

Very doubtful. I think they want everyone to forget about Harmonious. This shows already had more effort put in it for after hours events with it having anniversary tag ran as its' own show. With all lighting and fountains too.

That show/tag was for DVC not after hours

An excellent point!

Easy. The Love Letter was from Walt's Vision

Literally people complained about Illumination's ROE for it's dead time, then came Epcot Forever and Harmonious with none and now you get Luminous with it! Which is why enjoy because any ask for change doesn't mean it's going to be changed just saying.

Harmonious will forever be considered just a 50th Anniversary showcase highlight but why must some or all of the music pieces from this show need to be forgotten. If you took the music it's no more different than Luminious just fuller than just a snippet. Imagine highlighting some of Harmonious using existing pyro Luminous barges it could give a bit of power and action to improve Luminous perhaps....

The song from Aladdin was... problematic.

The song from PatF was way overcooked.

Harmonious was a clip show designed to show diverse voices. It was a product of the moment and ended up kind of backfiring and playing into stereotypes instead. Luminous is significantly better and would downgraded by allowing any of that garbage within 500 feet of it
