Yes please. More so, imagine the bones of the 1988 version with todays (movable) technology.

Interesting. I was walking around with an Imagineer last week and heard a different version that I'm not inclined to believe: They determined the exact centerline of the park itself and used that, not realizing that it didn't line up with the American Adventure and SSE.

???

Let me guess, that's not the focus of the new 2023 Show?.......

 

[Vinnie Mac]

Was rewatching the 50th beacon show for EPCOT on YouTube. Pinar Toprak needs, needs to produce the soundtrack for the new lagoon show. She gets it, she captures that Epcot feel so well.

No. Because of it was centered, it would not have allowed travel to other galaxies. That was kind of the whole point.

Now we will never make it to Disney’s Hyperion Resort.

Don’t worry we can always visit Hyperion Wharf at Downtown Disney instead.

Oh wait…

Just lose the classical music and create an original, beautifully paced and rousing score.

It isn’t classical music, it’s modern orchestral music. Nothing in RoE was composed by Mozart, Beethoven, etc. to the best of my knowledge.

The classical music feel is part of what made the show, and links RoE to every other major lagoon show since Epcot opened (with the exception of Harmonious, really). Don Dorsey had an interview awhile back that talked about it, and the evolution of the shows on the lagoon in general during his time with Disney. Really interesting stuff.

Was referring to the original IllumiNations which used mostly classical music.

An original orchestral score is what I want. Not traditional classical music like Beethoven etc.. that was part of the original IllumiNations. Give us an instrumental piece like Gavin Greenway did for ROE.

I'd rather original music vs Flight of the Bumblebee or Rhapsody in Blue or the hugely over used 1812 overture

I found IllumiNations to be boring until ROE came…

Agreed

 

[SoFloMagic]

Honestly!!!!!

I was just wondering what the difference was from every IllumiNations Ball being centered and the Stargate is not..........

The Stargate is bigger and the dock is L-shaped.

Clearly the Imagineer who said that was a bus driver before they went to WDI.

Interesting surgery asking me if I thought harmonious was part of the 50th celebration then what I thought of the celebration over all.

Maybe they're trying to gauge if they can pull off pretending it was always meant to end when the 50th does.

Or trying to figure out if not including the nighttime letdowns is part of the reason people don't think much was done for the anniversary.

Exactly.

No thanks

RoE needed to be replaced, but it needed to be a sequel, not whatever the hell they burnt piles of cash on.
