News Reflections of Earth confirmed to be replaced by Harmonious

What beats me is why they used barges. World of Color floats up during showtime and sinks during the day. I think the LED screens are stupid when you have most screens or fins that sing and have projections on them. You know when those LED screens start to glitch out and loose sections Epcot is going to leave it like that for a long time like they have in the past and like clockwork there going to let this hardware fall apart.

The LED screens provide a greater resolution, and provide near 360 degree viewing, while the projections are low resolution, only have about 120 degree viewing, and cannot be seen from behind. Using the LED displays, you will be able to see the show from around world showcase, opposed to fighting for head on view. The LED screen are lowest on my list of issues.

You aren't wrong

Well 2020 just keeps getting worse! Let's park these stupid fountain things in the middle of the lagoon so we can.....block some view of the GotG box, block out AA???, hide Soaring from Norway... Really disappointing but Marni atleast dropped hints softening the blow.

How many years before we start clamoring for this to be taken down like the wand? 2...4...6???

Just bring back the late 1980s early 1990s Illuminations over this garbage

Funny thing about world showcase lagoon being a circle. If something blocks your view, just walk a little further and there it is!

Unless it's blocked by another booth.

Or a tree. Or an island.

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.

Okay, I’ll give you that

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

 

[mnelson3]

Okay, I’ll give you that

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!!

 

[HauntedMansionFLA]

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.
