Wonder if the idea is to keep changing shows until they get a hit like HEA or Wondrous

News EPCOT's Harmonious to be replaced with new nighttime spectacular Luminous
- Thread starter wdwmagic
- Start date
I have a feeling illuminations will be back in the future. I also feel Disney should be able to come up with a strong storyline related to unity and coming together (examples of that throughout the world) that can could really work for Epcot. I’m concerned this new show wont have much of a story again…
Too bad they didn't do that with Harm.......

Ok, going in November, haven't seen Epcot Forever in person excited to see it at least once.
With the new hardware going in and out of the lagoon wouldn't they just re program the hardware with no need for Epcot forever?
Other than Mix Magic, DL doesn't have the bad PR to change shows....they do that, just because. Is Epcot really looking at that?
If Epcot wants too...I would do the New Show till F&W(except July 4th), EF for F&W since it goes over Epcot's Birthday. Then, ROE for July 4th and Candlelight with POE! Along with NYE!

I now view it similar to the Main St Electrical parade at Disneyland ... Whenever you think it is gone for good, it comes back

I’d like to hope that this new show is popular enough to have staying power but I guess there’s no reason they can’t do different shows if the hardware is designed to be usable by different shows.

Disney wants the crowds spread out. Aside from budgetary “constraints”, one of the rumored reasons for no nighttime parade is that they don’t want to deal with the crowd control for a parade + fireworks.

Yes.... until the saw the cratering nighttime alcohol and food sales.
High profit items are only actually high profit when you sell them.

Since it seems all but confirmed that details for this new show will be revealed at Destination D23, I wonder if they might do a brief after hours testing of at least one of the barges to capture some live footage for a presentation instead of just new concept art? It would be awesome to if they do what they did for Wonderous Journeys announcement and debuted the theme song.

Odd if they release info before Destination D23 since it’s in a few weeks. Unless thats what this person is talking about.

The replies he insinuates it's about destination d23
We're going to get information soon on an attraction that is supposed to debut in six weeks and whose construction we've been following in the park?

Zzzzzzz.... We all know a new fireworks show is coming...and we all know they are going to over-hype it as usual....
How much money would they be able to put back into the attractions and shows budget if they lost half the marketing budget?
There is enough free social media from creating photo worthy attractions that would drive attendance better than a breathless description of flooring tiles or over-selling a new show or meet and greet...
I don't think HEA was over-hyped? If anything, the HEA Hype didn't start untl after the first Test from the Contemp. which looked stunning!!!
