News New Park Entrance coming to Epcot

[MisterPenguin]

I'd pay good money for the opportunity to take a hammer to those orange floods. Orange lighting looks horrible (to me). Looks like SSE is constantly celebrating Halloween.

 

[Supernova]

Not sure if this has been discussed before, but is there any word on whether or not these new LEDs will completely do away with the current flood lights SSE has? Or will they be in addition to them? Or will they be an every-10 minutes- type of show/display?View attachment 587530

I hope they do away with it. I think it looks really dated.

 

[ImperfectPixie]

This will never get old for me. Ever.

(ETA: I didn't edit this photo at all.)

New Photo from Zach! Saw it on Twitter from That Other Site. Maybe we don't need the flood lights anymore??? Pretty!!! Cant wait for 2 weeks!!! Unless SSE/Harm soft opens right after EF's last night???

If this is what they have in mind, and the LEDs aren't on all the time, I could actually grow to really love this.

 

[Stupido]

Wow, that's pretty magical.

Shame the sides are only cool while LED and not RGB but alas.

I believe the whole SSE is RGB?

 

[wdwmagic]

Yes as far as I know they are all RGB.

 

[FutureCEO]

I think of this scene whenever Disney mentions beacons lighting up and whenever Oct 1st rolls around.

 

[Gringrinngghost]

Yes as far as I know they are all RGB.

The first photo shows in the tweet that the Side LEDS are covered in a yellow phosphor based gel.

Just looking at this, the side lights, I would be surprised to see as RGB as there isn't even anything indicating RGBW as it would be a half and half. But the lens gives me the impression that they are using a Cree/Luxeon Star style light on the sides.



To Surmise, I fully believe the sides are Cool White LEDS only, and the center is RGBW in cool white, unless it's a 2 package deal thats running Bicolor LEDs with the RGBLEDs.

 

[JustInTime]

Wow. The lights ok SSE are incredible

I hope this is one of the finale effects!

Maybe, WAY slower and lots dimmer. Too much as is.

Agreed. I'm starting to get nervous about how this will be used. Hopefully they are just playing around at this point

As opposed to the spinning ball of skin conditions THAT was?!

Yeah, that's a gamer's keyboard right there. Subtle is a much better vibe.

I don't think I understand your question

 

[James Alucobond]

I could be wrong, but I don't think you'd ever do a full-blast cascade like this because it makes lights that are out or relatively dimmer than their neighbors much more obvious. I'd expect more effects like twinkling or something washing past quickly to reduce the potential for calling attention to minor imperfections.
