I hope that’s the case but ROE was brought out late afternoon if I recall so it wasn’t like that just appeared right before the show started.

I honestly think it was more in the early afternoon, like two or 3:00 p.m. which always made me scratch my head about to criticism of the taco barges.
Back in the ROE days.. Unless you are at world showcase from 11:00 a.m. when it opens to 3:00 p.m., ( world showcase tends to be pretty desolate population wise before 3:00 p.m.) one really didn't get unobstructed views of the lagoon.
Moot point now.... There gone!

The taco barges did take up a lot of room but I have to admit they at least looked a little more modern than the old illuminations equipment out there most of the day
I honestly think as much as we love a more open lagoon, the harnonious taco barges might have been ok if there were able to utilize them in some way during the day perhaps. The large ring in the center to me was more of an eyesore than the tacos…those at least looked modern but that’s just my opinion. Now we may see flat weird looking fireworks barges out there most of the day and people will complain then too
I just hope Iger let's the creatives do their job and not stick his nose in it too much. I remember enjoying Steve Davidson's walk through of World of Color's opening section only to be disappointed when it was reported Iger thought it didn't sound modern and had it changed to the female singer trilling like an American Idol audition.

I think he's got way bigger fish to fry than to mess with EPCOT's firework show.

I would not be surprised if Idina Menzel was getting residuals on this.

You bring up an interesting point. I wonder if they had just made the Stargate portable.... Nah. It would probably have to be in three parts (as is I believe the stargate was actually three barges moored together ) and that's the doable part but then maneuvering those three sizable barges into a relatively smaller area between the four taco barges logistically probably was a no-go.
However I do think viewing of harmonious head-on made the show better which means it was just not as good from most viewing locations.
It was in my opinion definitely a much better show when you viewed it head-on versus from the sides.

Either way though it still doesn’t mean it will be a good show. I’m sure the creatives had been given specific instructions on what’s expected for the show meaning lots of IP and making it a very simple show. Along with that probably a very small budget. The creative team can only do so much lol. I just don’t see this being near as impressive visually as Harmonious was.

Off subject but I hope their next project is a new show for DAK. I don’t see what else entertainment wise would be in the works. As far a nighttime parade goes it’s highly likely to be MSEP so no work needed there. No rumors on any daytime parades.
I think someone said WDW will likely wait for a new show at DAK until the rumored new land is constructed. But I would think they may a new or temp show there during the construction to draw guests in?

They are ripping out the docking points from harmonious - this is a big job.

I don’t see how they could have a new show up and running by the end of the year but let’s hope
I hope they'll be putting them back but 20 feet to the left.They are ripping out the docking points from harmonious - this is a big job.
We don't have ROE'S Globe remember....
So this is new????They are ripping out the docking points from harmonious - this is a big job.
I saw something yesterday on Twitter, I didn't click on it because I thought it was old news and Harm was completely out of WSL.
yeah that photo is from this morning.

That’s my thought. Very unusual we haven’t gotten more info on this show if it’s supposed to debut in a couple months. Strange things happen especially now a days but you’d think they’d want to promote this more for the fall. Seems more likely they’ll save the announcement for Destination D23 in September and debut this show next year.

There were times the ROE Globe was down and they still performed Illuminations….so, it CAN be done. C’mon! We should all be used to missing show elements by this point.…..
