No, its been in bad shape for awhile. The speakers have been blown for too long now. Makes me wonder if DACS knows how to run a board at Epcot....

When were the temporary speakers installed? I do not remember seeing them a couple of months ago. The sound was very good between the fountain and the pin shop/ tip board structure.

I saw it in '96 and it was awe inspiring and there were points during the performance that sent tingles down your spine when the music and spectacle really hit a high point...not so much these days. If you never saw it in its' heyday then it probably seems AOK but when you have an original reference point it is far more damaging to the fountain's current appearance.
Thanks for the vid @marni1971 !

Thank you for putting this on. I miss those days. I'm going to go cry now.
Wow, that was fantastic. They should get rid of the current fountain and install that one from the video.

That doesn't show the fountain while it's performing. The problem here is a lot of the people on this forum didn't go to Epcot before 2004 so they don't understand the problems here. 3/4 of the fountains are unaligned or are simply not functioning. The video Martin posted is how it is supposed to perform, hell last time I was at Epcot (which was last week) one of the outer ring fountains was shooting into one of the pathways. The Fountain is not working like it was intended to, period.Looked fine when I was at EC yesterday...
I think the last two posts before yours @Tiki Queen of Outer Space were joking.
At least I hope they were!

Again it's not in performance mode. Unless you have a video of a full sequence get out.

Well I would sit here and take a video just to prove you wrong but I'd rather enjoy the park.

You don't have to. The misting system has been broken for years. The perimeter canons (those not underneath the stage) are wildly misaligned. The central air canons are off. And one whole section of standard jets is missing.Well I would sit here and take a video just to prove you wrong but I'd rather enjoy the park.
At least the PA is being worked on.

Marni1971, I want to be the first to apologize on behalf of the fountains!
They have never looked better. WDW, (especially) Epcot has never held a higher value or delivered such a standard of excellence than it does at this moment.
The whimsy is unparalleled!!!
Anyone that disagrees with me is either crazy, a troll, a bigot and certainly an evil doer and probably in league with Satan himself, not to mention racist, sexist and clearly homophobic.
There, I've said my peace. We can go on now.

Will this fountain or at least as we know it exist after the overhaul. I'm afraid that if it does get refurbished it will all be vocalized music scores. Not looking forward to that one.

No thread has proven Rizzo's Law quite like this one.
As planned, yes.
