Fountain of Nations looked like a train wreck

[larryz]

Probably not since these were built in 1984.

Buy they're not going to change because a message board doesn't like them.

Exactly. Look how much effect message boards had on keeping the AC and Laugh Factory open... and yes, I'm still a bit bitter about that, thanks for asking...

Just a little update on this. I was at Epcot over the course of several days last week. I did not see a single water ballet any day. Also did not see them last year in January either. I don't think I even saw any water action above the basic top level of the concrete. So annoying. Though it does lend to the rumors that they might be cutting costs because maybe they are indeed relocating the fountain to the south like it shows on that blue sky image from the D23 convention last year. For those who dont know what I mean, google Epcot central spine blue sky.

I've seen in some Youtube videos that during this time of the year, they use the fountain platform as a stage for music performers or the like.

The floating Earth video board was also a failed experiment, IMO....

You said it - in YOUR opinion. I'm still blown away by the incredible technology behind this set piece. True, the video section of the show goes on a little bit too long, though.

I hope they stick with instrumental no matter where the fountain show may be. The blue sky concept and drone flight path make me wonder if illuminations is getting a new home or if there's going to be more than one nighttime show.

Drone flight path? Can someone expand on that?

Please do not put too much stock in that piece of art.

Yeah for such a big project they really haven't started on anything close to it except for closing UOE. Not to mention the Innoventions buildings are still standing. But if there going to do such a dramatic ammount of work I hope they at least polish off the fountain while there at it, those jets are 24 years old now and from the way it looks they probably can't even get parts any more.

Hmmmm i was epcot last week and the fountain was stunning as always

Me too, I was actually surprised because I keep hearing stuff like this?
