I would rather it play Off KilterDoes anyone know why it has to play off-center?
I'll take whatever show as long as fireworks comes back. I assume it's safer to have Epcot be the first one since WS is huge and spread out than Cinderella's castle hub.Heard from some friends in upper managment that Epcot Forever will return later this year and do ~100 shows.
My bus driver buddy is still on furlough so i can't confirm with him yet. Take with a grain of salt.

The RoE torches are supposed to be apart of this show, no?Theory related to daytime fountain operation/music/etc.:
1) Taco Fountains will spray water continually all day. Individual country music loops will play during this time as usual.
2) Periodically, there will be a daytime fountain "show" synced to music (a'la the old Fountain of Nations show) with potential effects that would work in the daytime from Harmonious show elements (screens would probably be bright enough to use, some lighting). At this point the soundtrack for the show would take over the BGM loops around WS.
3) Numbers 1 and 2 above repeat all day on some type of schedule
4) Preshow begins for Harmonious with who knows what in terms of fountain use at 8:30
5) Harmonious show at 9 - perhaps daytime fountains will "extinguish" similar to torches as part of the preshow/show
**Maybe Number 2 would not happen immediately - but I could see it rather quickly created. Obviously I would not expect WDO to expose all of the "tricks" of Harmonious for the daytime show(s) - e.g. the swinging arms, etc. And things like lasers and projections, show lighting, etc. would probably only work at night anyways so there would be no way to 'spoil the surprises'.
Thoughts?

(Supposedly) they want to burn off the rest of the pyrotechnic stock, and there's enough for about 100 shows or so.Hmm, Well if EF returns in May... then about 100 days from then would bring us to August/September ish, then Harmonious will debut? Sounds like a possible time frame. Maybe a time frame that was planned before had covid not happened?

There’s a lot of truth in that.(Supposedly) they want to burn off the rest of the pyrotechnic stock, and there's enough for about 100 shows or so.
Again, take this with a grain of salt. I have no way of confirming if this is true or not.
Why May?
There’s a lot of truth in that.
Maybe after World Celebration is complete there will be an off center viewing area to match the off center screens? So at least from the viewing area it won’t appear off center?Sometimes things like that trigger a sort of ‘something is off’ subconscious unbalanced perception, even if it’s not blindingly obvious.
But this... from center stage World Showcase Plaza... is pretty blindingly obvious. It may be less of an issue viewing from elsewhere around the lagoon, but that’s not saying much since so much of the show clearly plays directly to center stage as designed.
There are no interns around to blame this one onI hate these things whole heartedly, but if the bases would go in the water say 6 feet then I think that would make all the difference in the world. They are way too tall and not designed properly. If the screen came down closer to the water level and became a fountain, I think it would be much better received. So this is 2021 Disney Design. So, we lose great Imagineers and gain straight out of internship ones?
This is what you get.
Perhaps the design was purposeful based on the location of the barstool - which would have been “off-center” as well. Obviously this is where the highest paying benefactors would enjoy HM from, no?Maybe after World Celebration is complete there will be an off center viewing area to match the off center screens? So at least from the viewing area it won’t appear off center?
I would have thought that would be more of an issue with Harmonious, though. Illuminations relied mostly on pyro which is generally visible from everywhere, but there will surely always be blind spots for the screens?For as much as I loved Illuninations, I always felt like the show got lost in the lake. It was not always so easy to get the best view from certain angles.
I guess I am in the minority here by thinking Harmonius seems scaled correctly for the space. That said, I have not seen the barges in person and I might feel different.

Harmonious looks like it’s gonna wow and be amazing. The complexity of the barges makes me super excited for the show.
