Must be flame throwers or fountains.
Those spot lights look small compared to the ones in Harmonious.

Must be flame throwers or fountains.

That's what I'm thinking, photo is too blurry but it looks like some kind of canons on two of them. The spotlights are being reused from Harmonious.

Looking at the other picture I think I see pipes at the bottom of the barge, which would most likely mean fountains.

Look under the stairs at the large pipes.....

I was hoping there would be a big fountain element. I’m a sucker for them.

Well we still don’t know how big of a fountain presence there will be, im guessing small. But a few are better than none.

I know this show is expected to premiere in Late 2023, I assume that means November. It’s interesting so little information has come out with the theoretical start only a few months away. Maybe they are taking a different promotional approach than with Harmonious (which they promoted for a while). Set low expectations and keep a low profile until it starts?
No way it makes it's debut in 5 weeks for the start of the celebration. @wdwmagic any idea on how far along it will be before they get in there and start programming and testing? Is there still a lot of work left on the lagoon and infrastructure, or are we in the home stretch? I hope they're at least the 70% mark.
Safe to say it wont be ready for Oct 1. Lot of work left to go I would say.

Will it be ready by November?
I think you can read quite a bit into the vague opening timeframe. I think the best bet here is for them to take the time to get it right. They have an interim show playing, which buys time. I think Nov might be optimistic at this point.
That is sad to hear - we timed our trip in November for late November after Thanksgiving in hopes that the show would have debuted by that point.
Fingers crossed for you.

Hopefully we’ll get some more information soon, even a name or a tease as the score would be nice. They’ve done similar for HEA, Harm, and Enchantment prior to their premieres…looking to Destination D23

This discussion got me thinking - how much longer would the "temporary" EPCOT Forever have to stick around for it to eclipse Harm's show run?
Harmonious
29 September 2021 to 2 April 2023
Total = 551 days
EPCOT Forever
1 October 2019 to 15 March 2020 = 167
1 July 2021 to 28 September 2021 = 90
3 April 2023 to TBD (136 days as of this evening)
Total = 393 days through 08/16/2023
That leaves 159 more days needed for EF to surpass Harm's run, which is 23 January 2024 by my math. Seems it's gonna be close!
Oh, and just for fun...

Yeah but the original runs don't really count here.
Good observation. I've stopped calling it temporary, and refer to it as "interim" now. Wouldn't be surprised it comes back for another run in the future.
Are you not expecting the new show to stick around for an extended period?
I'm wondering if EPCOT will go more like what we see at Disneyland with frequently changing shows. We'll see what happens.
