I agree, what’s annoying me most about these things is that they aren’t properly centered in the lagoon...Even if I forget about losing sight lines or the barges looking like oil rigs - What is the reason for everything being purposefully placed off-center, again? I remember this being discussed weeks ago, but cannot remember.
If these objects were lower to the ground and beautiful, walking toward them from the entrance and seeing them off-center would still flare up my OCD...
Need any more Salt or Butter for your popcorn, Martin?
What’s annoying me the most is that they’re there during the day.

These are really big and ugly. I heard during the day they Will be fountains? That will look better than these “Taco Barges”

You know, someone suggested a little bit back that the show might be staged off-center to play better to the Table . . . and the more I see the more I think that's probably what's happening.
Which is, on top of being dumb to begin with, a real shame considering that (misguided) viewing platform has been canceled, leaving the show off-center for no reason.

Barges are Barges! It would be nice if they could be masked then unmasked for show time. I hope the show is worth it.

It is so weird how it’s off center, maybe they didn’t want to screw up the laser effect on SE from AA? Just why in the world is it off center?

I think they centered it to the lagoon itself not to the center of EPCOT. (SSE to AA)
I think somewhere in the thread (or Harm thread) is a picture of it.

This just keeps getting better and better. If they are going to do stuff like this, why not go full six flags and throw up a huge roller coasters outside with zero regard for theme or sight lines. At least that way it won't (or shouldn't) take 3 years and half a billion dollars to build a roller coaster. Epcot is going to hell in a hand basket and quick. This is sad.
I’ll take, “Phrases that will get Imagineers fired” for $2000, Alex.

Understand but i was also thinking it was turned like Italy/Starbucks. First edit: Guess not. Second edit: if it is straight the other way would it not line up with Tori gate and SSE?

Maybe someone else can confirm, but I suspect it's because they just reused the existing dock that was built for the Earth Globe and inferno barge for RoE.
The 3-piece Stargate monstrosity is so much bigger than those previous barges that it's shifted the entire show footprint westward when docked in the same location. The designers must have been more focused on saving a buck by not needing to rebuild the dock than they were about everything now being (laughably) off center.
