Tonight's show was a mess.. the arms on the stargate we're prepositioned and never moved. And the arms of the taco barges never revealed themselves or moved at all resulted in a long segment of no fireworks During the finale.
There were some lasers, most notably the rose did appear, and earlier some jungle vines, but that was about the only thing that jumped off of the stargate. The manta ray did not, nor did Tiana's star. The yin and yang never appeared.
Main fireworks only fired from the working barge on the west (UK) side of the lagoon.
The cold absolutely decimated the crowds. Epcot was very busy during the morning and early afternoon. At night we got front and center at about 25 minutes before showtime and there was no one there. Then about 10 minutes before showtime the area between the two world showcase merchandise pavilions filled in nicely.
My friend who has never seen it really loved me.
Me.., Overall very h@lf@$$ show tonight. IMO the damage to the other barge is being milked as an excuse to do less... with less. What one of these barges does during Harmonious is a drop in the bucket compared to what they do for the old holiday tags, ant current 4th of July, or New Year's Eve shows. While lopsided the remaining barge clearly has the capacity to hold and launch the inventory of the other barge.
