I've said that Epcot should be aspirational and inspirational. Are these shows that ambitious?

Rumor New nighttime show at Epcot

So, the Tomorrowland hint of inspiring... Is Figment coming to TL, too?
Figment... everywhere!!

I heard from my exclusive secret source OC do not steal that the new IllumiNations interim show will be called Rising Spires and will have spires that rise out of the lagoon as part of the show. It's part of a push by Disney to have as many spires in its Walt Disney World theme parks as possible because, as Walt Disney said, inspiration is at the heart of all creation.
Of course - it could be a reference to Inspiration Falls....inspiring us to go deeper and deeper........
I've got it! Figment is going to be a Jungle Cruise captain 'er skipper.....now that's Imagination.

It almost sounds like the insiders are more excited for Spark than they are for the actual new show. That doesn't give me much hope for the actual new show, but maybe it just suggests how cool Spark could be?
I belive fountains will still be barge based.

Is the inferno barge going bye bye?

Are the fountains on the Lotus Flowers floats in ROL similar to what WOC uses in terms of lighting and movement the same as what is used on the Barges in ROE? Because, to me, they don't seem near as good but they are also much further away from the audience than say then the Lotus Flowers are.
All three are different technologies. WoC and RoL share some similarities.
RoE fountains can be traced back to 1984. 1982 at a push.

Seems like the WWIII barges are out there all the time now.

Odd choice. Projection mapping is much more cost effective at such a scale, especially considering maintenance when an LED dies.
This could be very wrong, but I thought the big advantage to LEDs is their insanely long life span, while projectors have bulbs they have to be replaced every few months, or even sooner with heavy use. But this still is odd, as other nighttime shows and entire attractions depend on projections. Maybe it's something to do with the texture of the surface? But they did that death star projection for rogue one.

Boooo lol. Hopefully I’m wrong but just having fountains on 4 barges won’t be as impressive as a mass amount like WoC. I don’t find RoLs fountains to be that impressive and I’m assuming the new Illuminations will be similar in terms of barges, just not flowers.

Yep. I was there for the past week and they were out there. Also flashing red lights which I still wonder what they mean:
They were only flashing on one barge.

This would seem to add credence to the idea that there will indeed be a Project Spark interim show. (Or, I suppose, these panels could also be part of the "Project Spark as Plan B that may or may not actually happen, depending on the progress with Project Kappa.") Because there's no way LED panels would be made into a permanent part of the SSE building... (unless the LED lights are on the insides of the tiles, and project outwards onto the surfaces of the tiles around them)?

I could see the panels as a replacement for the stuff that is laser-projected onto SSE after shows, but not for stuff during shows, because the only people who would be able to see it will be those on the opposite side of the lagoon.

great more panels, like the ones in the ride worked so well they never bothered to use. (joking of course and totally different I know)
