Rumor New nighttime show at Epcot

[marni1971]

I’m assuming we can say goodbye to the tourches?

If they stay they need quite a lot of work doing.

Aw man, my favorite part is the announcer blowing them out.

Maybe they will replace the torches with hidden lighting towers that rise up for the show like WoC has?

I was trying to be kind.... but yes all this is true...and some people will like it because it is pretty colors and fountains, but as a while it is very disappointing...It needs the fountain rigs of WOC which could not work in the more natural lake and waterway... I believe it has to be like swimming pool clean tp be able to run that system...

I think when everything fires off perfectly the depth created by layers of fountains and multiple projects can be really stunning. Sadly I don't think I've seen it perfect since the first week. AND I don't think the artistic value here is enough to make it a night-time spectacular worthy of a Disney park. That being said, if I was a person who believed in heightened experiences through chemistry, I believe I would have a hell of a trip watching RoL...

Pretty sure you can buy those at Vista Way.

If they go, I may like to purchase one or nineteen of them. Just thought I’d take the time to voice my interest now, before they get turned into commemorative pins or upcharge cupcake sprinkles.

I do like the torches, but removing them would remove a bit of the clutter around world showcase. Next step get rid of some the kiosks that have popped up everywhere

 

[TTA94]

Would be awesome if this interim show would be something like Tapestry of Nations, mixed with some fireworks, etc. Land and water type thing.

I really hope they stay and they put the appropriate amount of work into them. The atmosphere before RoE is one of my favorite things in all of WDW...

And they are a pretty good tell tail in letting you know which way ash and smoke will go during fireworks.

Don't forget the torches slowly being light once the preshow music starts.

Agree on the kiosks but doubt they’re going anywhere. Aren’t most of the torches in the water?

 

[Notes from Neverland]

I love the torches. I think they add to the fun night atmosphere around World Showcase. Would be real sad to see them go.

I'm the teeny minority that loves RoL because its so peaceful and the music so moving. I tell people it's like finally taking a deep breath after a hectic day. (I've been known to pop in to see it after a ty day at the office) I know it isn't what a lot of people are looking for and I'm sure it could be big and flashy like everything else, but I love it for its simplicity.

 

[Thelazer]

The torches (or rather there locations and assorted wiring) could easily be used for the new show.

 

[mikejs78]

The torches need to go unless they make sense within the story of the new show, otherwise they’re just old relics of the past

I think it's part of the landscape of WS... Yes it was used for the show but it would be a serious detrement to atmosphere if they removed them.

 

[mikejs78]

Yet World Showcase survived without them before ROE, correct me if I'm wrong though

Sure it did. But now they are there and they add a lot.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Really hope whatever they do it sticks with pyro and lasers...no need for more projections and I doubt the longterm appeal of drones...

Time to wait and see...

Me too. It's simple, moving, and perfect after spending a day in the animal kingdom. I'm moving closer to the parks soon, and I'll probably do something similar.

How much did RoE cost back in late 90's money? @marni1971
