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

[Mediachi]

Oh my god...

I'm speechless...

I Just... wow...

They did it.

They frickin did it.

 

[ToTBellHop]

Who chose When She Loved Me, the saddest song possible

Isn’t that the point?

 

[Squishy]

This is the best Epcot style show you'll get from Disney these days, surprised they even approved it as most of the show doesn't really scream Disney IP as much as other recent shows.

 

[JustInTime]

This is amazing. WOW. Just wow.

 

[Mikomike12]

I'm surprised at all the praise honestly, this is coming from someone who liked harmonius too.. that show had zero energy to it whatsoever.. it was borderline boring... the same pyro over and over aswell?... idk guys....

 

[Hakunamatata]

Absolutely stunning. Two outstanding wins today Disney. Thank you. Outstanding. Just amazing.

 

[Zummi Gummi]

Isn’t that the point?

I thought so. It was the section about “loss” after all.

 

[Ayla]

I was worried the cover of Friend in Me would suck, but they translated it to Friend LIKE Me style, and I think it WORKS

That's the only song I felt didn't fit.

 

[TheCoasterNerd]

absolutely love that show, but they did say there'd be figment and there was no figment
overall though 10000000000/10

 

[Disone]

Meh. Awesome finale though.

 

[cmarten]

That's the only song I felt didn't fit.

Agreed. Was my least favorite section from the show

 

[Andrew C]

I’m surprised it is liked here. The story just didn’t feel for me.

 

[OSUPhantom]

This feels like the right show for new Epcot. Right balance of IP and Original. Definitely lived up to its name; the lighting package is incredible.

 

[THEMEPARKPIONEER]

I don't know what to make if this show, I still can't believe that was Epcot. What's bad for them but not so much for the live viewer is that this show is not photogenic. I know that fountain was much better in person. but I think I got my fountain fix for the day.

 

[Nottamus]

Not Roe, kind of an extension of it in a way

Not Harmonious- not a 20 minute commercial

I liked

Can’t wait to see live - impressed me on screen

 

[Hakunamatata]

The IP, was tastefully used and complimented the overall theme.

 

[Jedi14]

Luminous fits Epcot, but Harmonious and Momentous do what this show does better.

 

[BagOfGroceries]

Already an improvement over Harmonious for having transitions. Gonna see it in person on Friday, and you’ll get my full review then.

 

[wutisgood]

Need to see this live and a few times but I think in general having a show without screens is much better. More people can see the show the same way. You just cant monetize epcot more by adding screens that are not as viewable from everywhere without decreasing overall guest satisfaction when you have that many people watching. There is a certain quality to seeing these things come to life while seeing the barren lagoon during the day too.

 

[Doberge]

Bursting light through firework smoke to use the smoke like a canvas is pretty clever.

They also used Spaceship Earth a few times, most notably in Now I See the Light where they projected a floating effect on to SSE. It was well done and made me think it's not done enough. I think watching from American Adventure side of WS with a distant SSE view might be best.
