Maybe that is why Pop Warner really got the boot!

The ring comes down during the day, right?

Also, I don't typically like to use these types of words, but man is this UGLY.

There’s no way they could continue to run Epcot Forever with a giant obstacle course for the Jet Skis, right?

 

[durangojim]

Actually, I just realized that Disney also acquired the Star Gate film and TV show rights. This is actually a new attraction.

“... a new milestone.” A new milestone in what?

 

[Giss Neric]

I still can't picture how the daytime fountains would work, especially with the center ring. Fountains are supposed to be like a zen type scenery.

It looks like WS lagoon has been hit by a massive drought, and the water line has dropped 8 feet.

 

[Duckmeister]

I guess they found more oil down there than we thought

 

[drumbum67]

I’m assuming that the water screen on this ring will only be visible from either the north or south sides of the lagoon? So no one on the east or west sides will be able to see the full show?
What a mess...

A milestone of crap.

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.

The theater tech geek side of me keeps looking for something to be impressed over, and isn’t finding it. There’s nothing truly cutting edge going on here, so far as we’ve seen, and not a lot of reason to believe they are holding back many surprises on the tech side.

I am hoping to be wrong and it be a stunning, jaw dropping technical and artistic tour de force, but I just look at the pieces and parts come together and feel like I’ve already seen the show.

Granted, part of that is probably because we’ve literally been watching the pieces and parts come together... Which is a massive fail from a tech theater standpoint to begin with.

I mean what in Walt's name were they thinking??!

Zach Ridley was thinking how this could propel his Instagram. I mean that’s his only motivation in being responsible for this crap right?

I am withholding judgement until they turn it on.

Was everything really so impressed by the “before” World Showcase views? I can’t remember ever sitting back and thinking, “wow, what a view”, and I’ve leaned against those rails and looked over the lagoon many a time.

Stop trying to be reasonable

They went full Stargate. Never go full Stargate.

I can only speak for myself, but no, I never felt "impressed". What I did feel was a sense of happiness, and strangely enough, satisfaction that something that showed countries of the world together peacefully could look cool and give a sense of calm. Sounds weird I know, but that's just me.

The incantation is spoken and the Riddley Ring is complete.

Woe be to those who enjoyed sight lines.

But you couldn't.....
