Wondering that to, it could be more of an add on rather than a major part of the show. Or this test they did wasn’t actually the full completed version.

It looks like there's of smaller pyro that can only be seen from inside the park.

Illuminations ran without the inferno barge and earth barge as needed at times. This should be no different.
Very True, Thanks!

Not sure how you have drawn that conclusion unless you’re specifically talking about IP.
This has a central theme with original music with and without instrumental parts.
Let’s see how it plays out…

Are we sure the music we hear in the video is the show audio? I somehow doubt they are using the Be Our Guest from Descendants or the “Something There” in the original BatB.
They were playing BaTB at quite a high volume level at International Gateway to mask the show audio. There are parts between tracks of BaTB where you can hear some of the Luminous show audio.

Interesting words on the Center Barge....... Reminded me of ROE with the Globe during We Go On.They were playing BaTB at quite a high volume level at International Gateway to mask the show audio. There are parts between tracks of BaTB where you can hear some of the Luminous show audio.

Inner and outer barges. The outers have a single light on them so they aren't as obvious but you can make them out here:
Pavilions:
All barges and pavilions:
Those barges are going to make this be a very light dense show.
Yes. One of the things I really like about the new hardware setup is the width it gives to the show across the lagoon. And most importantly, it can be viewed very well from all sides.

Yes. And the hardware looks like it would be easily to modify and use in a different show in the future when they decide to change things up. A much better investment than the tacos and stargate
Except if you have an island in front of you.... they're nice during the day but the make the Nighttime Spectaculars so far away compared to other places around WSL.

That and while it's literally (I think) the same amount of spotlights Harmonious had, they're so much lower to the water so it should have a better effect when lighting up the sky. The lagoon will feel "alive" instead of having lights on hilariously awkward screens 30ft in the air.
If this show doesn't work out, it's definitely not the infrastructure. They have a very solid foundation to work with if the content still doesn't draw people into Epcot.

When I was watching the testing footage I was really impressed but my main concern was if this was gonna be different from what we really get. Harmonious had like twice the pyro and was a more colorful show before pyro cuts happened.
I'm hopeful though because with this show I'm sure Disney is aware that the pyro is the main drive of the show compared to Harmonious where they were almost treated like a bonus if anything

that piece in the concept I think is a torch, whether the globe comes back or not I think there for sure will be a new Laser Barge. Hopefully it has some kind of sphere on it whether it’s the globe or just a screen.

That’s encouraging - I had thought the Beauty and the Beast music was part of itThey were playing BaTB at quite a high volume level at International Gateway to mask the show audio. There are parts between tracks of BaTB where you can hear some of the Luminous show audio.
