Seems like the hardware is trying to cover as much of the lagoon with effects as possible which should be an impressive scale for the show. Let’s hope the music and story match.

The only thing that has me hopeful is the word Symphony in the title....meaning lots of orchestration maybe? hopefully?

that just sounds like harmonious again
Right and maybe no vocals since it's a Symphony?
^
well it’s ip, so it’s going to be very similar. I at least picked the best ones to repeat. No Moana, Jungle Book, Hercules, etc.

Go the Distance/How Far Ill Go was kind of the best musical string of that show. I think those were the two songs blended in the same segment if I'm remembering right?

All these barges is good because one of the weaknesses of Harmonious for me was the lack of coverage on the lagoon of launching sites. You had the tacos, the stargate, and that about was it. Now you're gonna have 6 big barges with 4 mini barges inside each of those for a total of 30 barges.
Before ROE, IllumiNations had next to nothing in terms of Projections.

It was a great arrangement and a beautiful opening to the show! Wouldn't be mad if it found it's way into Luminous (unlikely).
No, for as far as I can remember, projections were part of Illuminations. Laser projections on water screens.

Well...
I think that large LED screens and projections can be overdone. They're very in-your-face and bright...I see there has also been some criticism of the brightness of the SSE lights now and I thought, yeah, I think I noticed that when I was there, over the other side of the lagoon from SSE, it just looks too much and overpowering that actual building.
For these fireworks shows, nothing beats physical effects, like the pyro, the fountains, they're all around and are 3D and physical. Not like a TV screen in the middle of the room. And that goes for attractions too! Step back a little on the screens and projections I say. As you imply, they're an easy get-out clause when they run out of ideas.
I was referring more to Harmonious having a large amount of moving pieces. The moving arms and the sheer amount of fountains, lights and projection systems. It was a hugely complex show. Luminous is much more of a traditional firework show. A good thing IMO.
Apart from laser projections onto the 4 fountain barges and the projectors on Germany and USA and Canada ? RoE had no projections.

An instrumental version of 'Destiny' would be the only version of that song I can stomach. Her voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard for me. She forced some those notes and it's just ... bad.
How quickly people forget that concept art cannot and should not be trusted. Or has the lesson of the HarmODIOUS barges disappearing behind fountains of water been forgotten?

Which concept art shouldn't we trust everything looks the way it was advertised so far?
Are you hearing buzz on the Barges staying in WSL????
