News EPCOT's Harmonious to be replaced with new nighttime spectacular Luminous

[jrhwdw]

Unfortunately they could push it out to next year even if it is finished if they feel it’s a better time to debut it. They’re going to promote it for 2024 anyway. Only thing that might force their hand for December is the restaurants and dining packages.

Also, Walt's Birthday..Maybe his Stature will be in public sight on Dec 5th!

I highly doubt Epcot would sit on a finished Show till 2024. when they officially said Dec 5th bacK at D; D23

Only thing that would setL:SOU back is a Major Delay. and Steve was worried about the tight timeline back then.

I doubt they're going to change the date at this point, it's only a month away and they just added it to the website with that date and like TTA94 said people have already booked dining packages. All that being said, crazier things have happened.

They have been selling dining packages for it already so would be a pretty big deal to push it out and have to refund/make right the people that bought them or something .... After th Rivers of Light fiasco I am sure they really don't want to have to delay a show with an already announced date

They seem to be pretty set on Dec 5th despite not having the center barge on site 1 month out

Yes, they aren’t backtracking at this point. 12/5 feels very safe.

Wonderful News!!!!!! When should we expect the Center Barge???

Was a bit disappointed at first to not see Harmonious in person during its short run but really looking forward to seeing Luminous on the 6th!

I wouldn't be disappointed in that.

Interesting. Is that scrim for projecting onto during the show, do we think? Or just to hide the inner workings of the barges when they will appear each afternoon? Looks a very squished North America top of South America and Greenland to me.

My guess is its to hide the mechanics

 

[wdwmagic]

Well, Dec 5th is coming up you know!

Steve was skeptical about the Date at D: D23, lets hope Epcot is right on time!a

Wonderful News!!!!!! When should we expect the Center Barge???

Soon

 

[trainplane3]

Soon

Is the center barge going to arrive completed? So all they need to do is programming with it?

I’m glad they are putting scims on the sides to hide the insides.

I can sort of see that shape as well

Any chance these are embedded with LEDs and sort of a element of the Illuminations Globe effect?

Crazy Disney cares about sightlines again!

Crazy Disney cares about sightlines again!

Maybe, this is the first time we saw the scrims. How long have the Barges been out in WSL?

 

[jpinkc]

Those scrims look like a projection material to me, but still I hope its better than HARM!!!

only after all the complaints from the tacos

Little Tacos was my first thought.... Hope Steve's excitement is correct and this not just a different version of Harm......
