At least those don't yell obscenities or vomit in the walkway. I'd take a tree or island any day.

@marni1971 was the “WS Lagoon daytime fountain” always part of the plan?

Except that this one will be popular, further reinforcing in management the idea that IP is the Disney difference.

So it’ll become the best ever firework show in WDW 2.0?

Will be interesting to see if Harmonious affects HEAs popularity. Then again probably not, the “Stargate” certainly won’t top Cinderella’s Castle
.Had the barges come out only at night and then gone back it would have been okay.
This idea of leaving all show hardware out in the lagoon, I suspect is more a cost saving measure than anything else.
I also suspect it's going to look horrible with bird poop on it (ask Universal about that)
It seems that the fountains will be on all day... self-cleaning!!

Curious. They prepped the land to build this attraction. What do they do with the area after the barges are floated out into the lagoon till 2040 ( if you go by the timeline of the previous show ) ??

I thought that was replaced by Iger and Chapek years ago with “achieve management bonuses”?

Serious question- will this block views of the dreaded gravity building from much of World Showcase? I'm thinking in particular, the view from Japan that keeps coming up will be rectified in that respect.

It sounds like this will interfere with the Japan view of SSE through the gate.
I looked at the angles of that awhile back on google and managed to convince myself that it was going to be really close, but obviously they wouldn’t have screwed up such an iconic and important view and I’m sure they double checked that... because that’s just obvious, right?
Seriously though, I hold out some hope. The axis of that shot is actually pretty far off the lagoon center... although those barges are massive.
Don't worry, as we all remember the Fountain of Nations (RIP) ran all day as well.
We all know how well this prominent water feature/show was maintained and how every element in it worked perfectly right until the very end. (Ha..Ha..Ha..) So what could possibly go wrong with the new thing in the middle of the lagoon?
Now Disney can do the same (let it rot and deteriorate), except with something that's floating, not accessible via land unless it's brought offstage, and presumably becomes erect and shoots fire works from it at least once per day.
As well as maintain the new fount at the entrance, the FoN replacement in the hub, and all the interactive founts of JoW!!
I have a hard time thinking that was planned. The gate is at the edge of the lagoon. And SSE is far away on the other side. So, it would be rather difficult to *not* get SSE to appear in the gate. You can get the Big Blue Box to be perfectly aligned with the gate. Or any other Future World building.
As it is now, an island is partly blocking that 'perfect view' of SSE. If Disney really wanted that perfect view, that island wouldn't be there, or, the gate would be ten yards to the right.
Looking at the address-finder map, it seems one of the side fountains will be in the way. But perhaps blocking only the lower quarter of SSE.
Could it be that the barges are so gigantic they’d need a legit tug boat to shuttle them?
