After an absolutely horrible day at work, I needed the adult humor to cheer me up. Thanks y’all

Good evening, and welcome to World Showcase. Tonight we are pleased to present a visual journey, an international fantasy of music and light. We're about to embark on a sparkling abstract expedition around World Showcase. With the music as your passport, we'll discover sights and sounds from colorful ports of call. And to celebrate our journey, the countries will be united by the festive elements of water, fire, and light. And now, let your imagination be your guide, as EPCOT Center proudly presents IllumiNations.
a little tweaking and no reason to not reuse something like they had with the original IllumiNations.

In 5 to 10 years, when the memory of those that were in Epcot these past few years staring at those large barges fades away, this show will be missed. People who never got to see it live and were never in Epcot with the barges will watch 4K YouTube videos and ask "Why the heck did they get rid of this amazing show?".
There is no denying that the show is a tour de force, amazing fountains, lighting, fireworks, and music. Personally I think it's a shame that it's going away but I also feel like unless the barges can be removed during the day it pretty much has to go away.
My point is that although many people here dislike the show, years from now people will look back on it very fondly and those who didn't see it will wish that they could have gotten a chance to see it in person. I for one am glad that I did and I look forward to what the next show has to offer.

Happy closing night for Harmonious. This show grew on me (especially the soundtrack). I stand by my prior statements that this soundtrack is likely the best we'll get as far as IP integration. Yes the storyline was weak (pretty much non-existent). Barges were absolutely dreadful. Wish they tweaked the show to include a center showpiece that could sit off-stage and some low-level fountain barges. Add some additional narration and I feel we have a solid show. So curious what's next for World Showcase Lagoon.....

Can somebody create a countdown thread for the barges like the Sorcerer Mickey Hat Thread from years back?

WOW!!! Do we know if that Crane is just needed once Harm goes backstage? Didn't all of Harm make it through the Canal once?
Should be a much smaller Thread than that one....

It didn’t all fit back there at once, and the stargate and surrounding arms were secured to one another on stage.

If they still went with the expanded marina as originally planned and didn't cheap out, I wonder how the stargate barge would've been stored then if it didn't fit through the canal?
Or was the stargate going to permanently mourned regardless, but the taco barges be moved daily.
Thanks. I needed a good laugh today.
No one’s going to miss this soulless, vapid, pile of crap show. Sorry not sorry.

Isn’t tomorrow the closing night?

I kid, I kid. I’ll give it a watch at some point, because my appreciation for your videos is well-known and thus, like Pokémon, I have to watch them all.
Plus good memories of our viewing back in September.

We think these last few performances will be rough? Because:
I found a bit of the show at the linked timestamp. The one barge really was turned off completely.

While I’m still not a fan of Harmonious, interestingly, I enjoyed Martin’s video more than the live show. I’m guessing it has something to do with his edits adding more structure and “story” to the production. Also, the tight zooms made it easier to see what they were trying convey on the screens, some of which was too small to see live, and completely overwhelmed by the hyperactive-toddler/“look what we can do” visuals.
