Have you seen Ignite the Dream or Illumiatons (at DLP)... they are quite painful to watch.
I feel like he has lost his touch Disneyland Forever wasn't amazing IMO.

I enjoyed Ignite the Dream and Disney Illuminations from Paris, but that’s just my opinion of course. I like that Steve uses WoC type fountains in most of his castle shows which I am a fan of lol and I feel if Steve had done HEA it would have included fountains. Fingers crossed he’s involved in most projects involving the 50th.
You heard correct.

TDLs Fantasmic is impressive barge and effects wise. If the new illuminations will be similar or amped up we should be in for a nice treat.

But they will have to be very powerful ones? right?.. because.. I mean.. the worldshowcase lagoon is pretty big and the current barges barely can be seen.

Please tell me how Frozen fits in the human achievement? or future that promises new and exciting benefits. I'm waiting.
What Guardians (a completely made up world with superheroes and superpowered being) somehow fits in human achievements? or concepts of a future that promises new exciting benefits?
The current ones are very powerful and are clearly visible.

I agree, and I don’t much like Davison-produced shows. That said, he did contribute to RoE’s pyro, so he deserves credit for that. What we are really missing is the genius of Don Dorsey. He had a way of making vague nighttime shows into something elegant, clear, and compelling.

What Magic Feather said. Also, I wouldn’t be concerned for the holiday tags.
Could it be that WDW wants to balance the crowds with the opening of SW: GE with an Epcot draw? Plus we all know Mk isnt rushing a night parade so if there is going to be new night entertainment, it'll have to be another park.
Any chance of surprising us with the new show Christmas 2018?

True, but even a bit at the margins can help. Anything to pull a few thousand folks away from the much smaller DHS (and MK) to the much larger Epcot is welcomed. A new nighttime show, along with Epcot's superior dining options, could do that and at least help with the overcrowding that happens right now at MK and that is sure to happen at DHS.
Plus if this is done as well as ROE was it might take some people from HEA.
Without air conditioning, people couldn't live in Florida. And it illustrates that not everybody who wants to help you has your best interests at heart.
The music is great. And it inspires younger kids to want to explore space.

I completely agree, and am NOT on board with Guardians in Epcot, but I can’t help but wonder how Captain EO is any different.
I truly hope they don't turn illuminations (or its replacement) into yet another "tribute to the beloved characters of Disney" show which typically are completely vapid and are characterized by an incoherent romp through low resolution vignettes based on wide ranging IP or characters Disney owns that according to their own much vaunted but usually ignored "canon" rules should never appear together. Fountain People (the company responsible for much of fountain equipment at WoC) fountains would not work in the world showcase lagoon without draining it, lining it, and adding a filtration system to it. The up front cost would be huge and the recurring cost would be substantial, which would be possible but seems unlikely. I suspect there will be drones but hopefully they are something more interesting than the Intel drones. If they did something more like the Atmos-Pixiel drones that are used in the pou du fu theme park shows in France (look at their shows if you want to see what is possible) that would be fantastic!

Man I hate(d) Captain EO.
Because it (the original especially) was a perfect fit for 80s Futureworld.
I loved it.

EO took place in the Imagination pavilion. It was part of a larger, overall idea and theme. They didn’t rip out one pavilion to build the Captain EO pavilion.
