News Reflections of Earth confirmed to be replaced by Harmonious

[Touchdown]

No it’s off center towards Japan-Canada side.

Maybe I missed it, did anyone figure out what could be the reason they are off center? Or did make a boo boo when installing the hookup platforms? Lol.

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.

You having more tomorrow @marni1971 ? Lol

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.

No amount of water can cover how horrible this is

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.

I will never forgive them for this off center giant eye sore...

Welp - view of American Pavilion, it was nice knowing you.

This better be a particularly spectacular fireworks spectacular...

Here’s the upshot--with 11 am opens, you can start drinking the moment your arrive. This will be less obtrusive with 2 servings of alcohol per hour all day.

”Kidssz...it’s time for Spission: Mace! .................. Orange!”

I'm really torn here. The theater tech geek side of me can't wait to see the the full show and these barges in action... but then the theme park side of me weeps at how these look in daytime.

 

[Brenthodge]

Now I see why these things can’t come and go every day. That “barely” clears the opening at the bridge.
