News Reflections of Earth confirmed to be replaced by Harmonious

[Magic Feather]

Last I remember, the center/compass barge was a two sided circle (Yes, Flat) that spins. I’m not as sure on this part, but for some reason I remember the main circle being made up of smaller circles (Think O in an O in an O) that can all spin somewhat individually.

There was also a preview video back in the fall of 2019 (or was it 2018?) showing that thing and it spinning.
You can see the "layers" in the poster:

Earth globe is in the dumpster:


...unless it was shipped off elsewhere (maybe the archives?). It'll have no part in the new show.

No. It was cut up.

Bleh.
I was holding on hope that it was being disassembled for storage or something but I'm sadly not surprised. 20 years of history, trashed.

They have found a stargate backstage at Epcot!

Enhance!

Look at the size of the arms compared to the tram at the top.


Look at the size of the stargate compared to the truck and workers in yellow...

The arms:
Left: Me before I see the GF bridge
Right: Me after I see the GF bridge

Also that bottom picture has me thinking, "that's gonna be one massive screen". It'll be interesting if they keep the spinning compass idea.

im a little worried about this being so flat, that means from Norway to Germany and IG gateway to Canada your view of the main element will be obscured. Considering that FP, private parties, resturants and up charges take up a sizable portion of the prime viewing area it might be really hard to avoid waiting a long time if you want a good view.

That’s a good point. Illuminations looked good from all around the lagoon, wind permitting. With these big set pieces I really do worry about the amount of pyro in the show.

I like how Bio purposefully compare and contrasts the size of a Friendship to the new show barges. They just keep getting bigger!

In the previews they show the arms as being gold... are they going to paint or wrap the truss?

So who's thinking they ditched the compass concept and replaced it with a flat screen instead?

I’d hope the compass thing isn’t completed yet since it’s a lynchpin of the show.

Anyone think we might get Harm. updates during the MMRR/F&G Media Event?

Yeah they need to release some exciting clips from
the show. The current Epcot Experience preview with the How Far I’ll Go/Go The Distance is getting blah

 

[Little Green Men]

Will it have an original song at all like HEA?

 

[TrainsOfDisney]

That clip looks like world of color with a little pyro.... NOT a replacement for illuminations.

:-(

IMO, the rig that’s currently being assembled reminds me more of the version that clearly spins as opposed to the version that could be static.
