I think my last thoughts on Harmonious is how it is absolutely going to have a cult following in the future. Hit well with the GP, but doomed by infrastructure.

News EPCOT's Harmonious to be replaced with new nighttime spectacular Luminous
- Thread starter wdwmagic

Ah yes, with the addition of the new towers in the area, Riviera, Destino, Swan, it became more noticeable, if that makes sense, because of "being able to see Epcot's nightly fireworks." At least, that's what was explained to me.
Maybe they shouldn't hype up what they can’t deliver.
An outpost that is nothing more than a food and beverage kiosk is not "representing" Africa. What's currently there is insulting, at best, if you think it's actually representing anything but a Coca-Cola stand. So is this about representing movies or representing pavilions? What other countries "deserve" to be recognized? More importantly, do they have food/beverage kiosks that can be exploited?
I don't give a rats hind parts about inclusion. I want original and quality shows. You know, those things they used to do before the Bob's came in and dumbed everything down so those with the attention span of a gnat can see some short clips from movies on Disney+ along with some whiz bang fireworks and go, "Ooo! Ahh!" and then hopefully buy some plush toys on their way out.

There is indeed a fully developed African pavilion at World Showcase: Morocco. It doesn't have anything to with The Lion King, though.
Right, I meant only the outpost that's basically walk-past for 99% of guests.

Africa is a very big and diverse continent; arguing that because mine African country is represent therefore the entire continent is silly.
That’s like saying Europe would be represented fine by only an Italy pavilion.

They are missing out on an authentic African experience with such iconic sub-Saharan dishes as a hot dog, frozen Coca-Cola, and a waffle cone with vanilla soft serve.
Last year, I was eating an ice cream and felt like I was back in Nairobi.

That most certainly wasn’t my argument. I was responding to the claim that Africa has no representation among the pavilions of World Showcase, not suggesting that Morocco is sufficient to represent the entire continent. I have posted multiple times in this forum about the need for a Subsaharan pavilion to add some balance to the current Eurocentric configuration.

not only that, as a side note the only thing operating there now is the coke service, they aren't even selling merch anymore, its all shuttered. Its horrible, it irks me to no end that and half the stores in the studios are all closed (because they dont want to pay workers)....But anyway I still think a equatorial Africa pavilion would be perfect here, even with AK up the road. They could still make it unique and different pertaining to Epcot. If they can shove Moana and Toy Story into every park constantly they can have more Africa. But really Morocco needs fixing first and brought back to full operation.

Are the barges gone yet?

Salvageable fixtures (spotlights, etc.) and various coverings are currently in the process of being removed.
It is going to take a while
World Showcase needs to represent a huge land mass, albeit mostly covered with snow, Antarctica!
The Antartica Pavilion should have an outdoor ice rink. Indoor innertube snow slopes. Weather and scientific outposts. Fancy fish restaurants. And plenty of free krill samples.

I'll miss the barges, they were a stark reminder that nothing is sacred to the current leadership...
Don't get too attached, you know.

No worries! I could have worded it more clearly.

When you salvage all of those attachments, can you sell them back or do you just use them in your next show? I’m woefully ignorant when it comes to abandoned fireworks spectaculars.The dismantling of Harmonious gets underway on EPCOT's World Showcase Lagoon
