News Reflections of Earth confirmed to be replaced by Harmonious

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

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.

Well that's good to hear. It'd be a shame to lose a big party trick like that.

Waaaaaay more than a party trick. I can think of at least one thing (per barge) that people haven’t caught onto yet. This will be a very technically impressive show.

Involving the "arms" or something else?

That’s what they said about rivers of light...

Do you mean each barge having fountains? They were mentioned but not shown yet.

Just caught a glimpse at 1:23 or so in the video

Fountains.. not unexpected no?

Now pop up a Christmas light windmill over one of the country's in this show... and THAT would be a party trick!

EDIT... nevermind, wishful thinking...

Do they deploy kites?

I’m pretty sure that the Epcot team wants nothing to do with night kites after EF.

I was driving home from work at around 11:30 tonight and saw fireworks. It looked to be more in the MK area than epcot, but I couldn't figure out what that would be. My first thought was the villains after hours show, but I think that's Thursdays. So, I'm left wondering (and hoping, as it seemed to be lots of high Pyro) if it was harmonius testing and my sense of direction was a little off.
Anyone know if they're at that point yet?

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

Hmm, in the backstage pics it shows 3 more arm mechanisms.... but there’s only two barges that do not have them installed yet. Must be for the main barge? But, where would it go on the barge on land? Interesting. Unless that isn’t the main barge, or rather the full main barge?

Could Harmonius be in danger depending on how crazy things get with the corona virus? Or is that budget and plan set in stone?

Just spent five minutes searching for the 'Friend ship being serviced out of water'. Finally found it. Better than Where's Waldo.

They're already mostly through with building the infrastructure for HUS, and the infrastructure for EF keeps falling apart (i.e., the kites).

If crowds become very low, they could run HUS only a few times a week to save money.

The center barge is going to be interesting!

I didn’t realize the center barge was... 3 barges? How do these interact? There’s going to be so much hardware in that lagoon you’ll be able to walk from Mexico to Morocco without getting your feet wet.

Sounds like all construction has ceased. So much for seeing this before 2021. No doubt they will push Harmonious off until WDWs 50th Anniversary.
