If they get the music right, I don't personally think they need all the hoopla. It was the music that gave such emotion to Illuminations, which was basically just a great fireworks show. I know it's not supposed to be an original score (I think), but maybe they can still give us something wonderful.

Can you tell us if there is going to be fountains?

There seem to be fountains in the concept art so they should be there unless the concept of the show has changed.

Yeah I thought it looked like there could be maybe two small fountains in the middle.

This does give me hope. I guess i'm just a little disappointed about the fact that Disney probably won't do anything as ambitious (technologically speaking) as Harmonious for a very long time.
I won't be as disappointed if the show itself ends up being really good. I trust Disney to make it work

They announced they're putting a completely different show in, they were testing drones a few months ago
Has the People been around for a long time, Pre Harm????
They weren't EF either.......Agreed!
ROE was not exactly complex and neither was illuminations '88...but both were light years ahead of harmonious. Not just for the blocked daytime views...but also for the music and fitting the park. I LOVED in the original illuminations where each country would light up individually when classical music from that country played. ROE still is an Epic soundtrack. Adding "tentacles" surrounded by tacos doesn't make a show better
Like the Best Show USF ever Had???????? If it's not getting rebuilt........Of course USF is removing it!!!!! We don't even know if USF is even aiming for this Summer.....
Would be nice to see if USF is Serious about Nighttime Spectaculars, after the quick canning of CineCele and a 2017 MK Show Still looking at Perfection!!!!!(As weird as that sounds after the 50th.......) Weird meaning: MK needed HEA back after the 50th/DE.
As for SeaWorld, Ignite is Back this Summer! As Expected.

I think I remember him saying some people from the Illuminations era were still around but idk how much that means cause allegedly they were there for Harmonious too.

I think everyone is happy with the eyesores being gone, I say this as something who liked the show a lot.
Visually the mix of water, lasers, and fireworks was impressive and I hope the new show tries to use those elements as well. Pyro obviously will be the main part but when a show combines those elements it really results in something special. Illuminations had these although I always had difficulty seeing the fountains given the distance. I’m not sure what platforms/systems they are building but I hope they offer something impressive alongside the pyro.

I'm pretty sure it was mentioned way back when ROE ended that the Peace on Earth tag ended as well. I distinctly recall seeing promo materials on the Epcot times guide in 2018 noting that this was your last season to experience the "glittering holiday finale."

I thought it was to have an original and new theme that would flow through the show but then IP songs throughout as well, so not an entire score or anything, but at least that one new original theme that is something Harmonius lacked
I took it as it was ROE's last Christmas.....
I haven.t seen anything, from Insiders or DPB, that POE and Oct 1st Tags are Really Gone..........
Of course, Harm blew the 40th..................
At least Epcot is staying true to July 4th/NYE. The Real Replacement should be Tag Friendly! Hopefully TDO is thinking of that!......
