Only if the Children narration was replaced by Figment as a narratior and they swapped the finale song for something more appropriate.

News EPCOT's Harmonious to be replaced with new nighttime spectacular Luminous
- Thread starter wdwmagic
- Start date
Especially when you think of the great career ROE had! Did Epcot really have a plan for After ROE When the 2000 or Walt's 100th ended?
I wouldn't call HEA too temp. if it was supposed to last from May 2017 till Oct 2021.....

AK has basically become failure at night unfortunately. I tend to think that Rivers of Light is dead because Disney doesn’t want to commit/prioritize Animal Kingdom being a full day park. It still closes at 7 pm most days.
Hopefully the eventual Dinoland update can spark some nighttime magic at AK again. Maybe we get a new show in a few years.

It’s unfortunate because Pandora shines at night but RoL and the nighttime safaris were a complete failure. So, for the time being, you have to visit in December to see the park at night.

That would be preferable to some of us but unfortunately we are a dying breed.

I've always hoped for a version of EF with We Go On at the end, even though it's probably just a pipe dream

I’d prefer Dreamfinder ‘with’ Figment myself. But yes, this! As someone else mentioned, “We Go On” possibly being the song it ends with.

Rivers of light was a decent idea with a bad design. By the time the ending came it was anti-climatic. It needed way more wow factors.
Those Epcot barges with the water, screen, and light effects would work well at AK as that lagoon is not as visible as the one at Epcot

It’s not a very large body of water at DAK. I think the scale would be off. And I don’t want a metal donut in a tropical rainforest, either.
They’d still be visible in the daytime. That’s enough for them to be scrapped.

If they do in deed blow them up, can we at least blast 'Chaos' from ROE while doing so?

I enjoyed RoL, especially the initial version with the actors. The nighttime safaris really did fail though
I really like the vibe of AK at night thought - lots of musical performers, great place to just wander with an adult beverage, etc. .... Hope they can figure it out if the future

I would love that. I enjoy EF, just nostalgic vibes and nice to share those songs from my youth with my kids .... The the ending songs sort of ruins it and switching that to We Go On would be great
I’ll disagree. The first one we rode was surprisingly spectacular both in execution and what we saw. I’d say it’s no more hit or miss than daytime.

I really liked the original Rivers of Light too.

Just me spitballing,
How dead is Windows on the World? I remember multiple people including @marni1971 covering it pretty extensively pre-Harmonious. Seems like after D100 they'd want to go back to a shelved idea that could've worked rather than start from scratch? Surely someone knows the importance of the show being called "Illuminations: *something*"

WotW if I recall was an evolution of I:Skydance - that’s going back well over a decade, maybe 15 years now. I know they say ideas never die but.
