News Magic Kingdom and Epcot Fireworks to Resume July 1st

[GhostHost1000]

What's there to test? All you really need is.connectivity between fire control and the tube.

Making sure things still work (lights, effects, cannons, etc)
Training new CMs
Etc

I don’t see how EF could return with all the barge tacos in the water now

If they were just a little lower in the water they could be used as ramps for the jet skis. Seems like a missed opportunity to me.

I wish there had been more Millennium Celebration music in Epcot Forever. My show would have ended with it and not Aladdin.

Ending with Millennium Celebration would have made EF a much better show. But also would have given me false hope that the knuckleheads running epcot understand what it represents...well did represent.

It would have been far more respectful of the fans, and they should have been willing to do it. It’s a temporary show. They knew they were getting the IP-heavy HarmoniUs.

I can tell you right now -- I'm already triggered by all those star shells that look like huge Coronaviruses...

 

[The Visionary Soul]

They won’t wait Forever.

Ha! Guess I was out of the loop on that one. Just gonna assume that Harmonious is taking longer than they anticipated. Well done my friend.

 

[CastAStone]

In the Harmonious thread it was mentioned there was a rumor of EF returning the end of June. If true maybe MK will be around that time as well.

No. Current plan as it was explained to me has Epcot before MK.

 

[The Visionary Soul]

No. Current plan as it was explained to me is Epcot June, MK July, F! later this summer. I don’t have any more specificity than that but Epcot and MK were not “around the same time”

I’d buy that. Logically it didn’t occur to me that they would bring back Epcot Forever, but the demand from World Showcase restaurants is attached to their being some kinda nighttime show at Epcot to keep people in the parks and dine there.

I was surprised they didn’t use one of the sequences from illuminations in EF but maybe that would have required $$$ paid to the previous designers?

- Figment hosts show
- Show has a proper pyro budget
- celebration replaces new world.

Show is fixed. I’ll take my payment in Disney Dollars and/or Imagineering Button Downs thank you!

Currently there is not enough capacity in WS dining for that to matter so reading between the lines I am expecting Disney to be making capacity modifications soon.

There’s a few plans knocking around.

Apparently.

Aren’t there always? My information is nearly a week old at this point so it’s probably already in the circular file.

 

[marni1971]

May as well throw Rivers of Light in the mix as well since everything’s been mentioned!!
