News Reflections of Earth confirmed to be replaced by Harmonious

[marni1971]

Or this:

No screenz.

An inflatable dome system would have enabled them not to destroy the lagoon during daylight and be clear enough for those who complained they couldn’t see the imagery in HD during Reflections of Earth.

Of course the MK-standard material for the screens is another matter.

No screenz.

True. Another plus to the F! barges is they can move! Lol.

Just imagine...

There’s even room for mechanical arms (and obviously minus the cast bunker)

I thought I saw a rumor that DLP are going to buy or have bought these. Then I asked, what lake would they go on?

Apparently they're for Studios Paris' Lake. Saw it on Twitter days ago. I didn't see a lot of buzz(if any) in the DLP thread on here....

As said above, they’re building a lake (finally) for WDSP as part of the expansion project. Already earmarked to hold a night time show.

If Epcot did get the TDS F! barges.....While yes, very moveable, not lot a room for tons of Fountains/Pyro. Plus, what would our centerpiece be? We couldn't take the Hat barge, or WDW would have 2 F!'s LOL! And I KNOW these boards wouldn't approve an Epcot F! LOL!!!

They are fountain barges. Plus Epcot has the Midis and flatbeds for more pyro than these typically hold.

But irrelevant since like you say it appears they may be heading for Paris.

To bad they didn’t go with the spinning circles or compass as the center barge that they showed in the very first concept video at D23. That would have been way more impressive and added a extra moving element to the show. The giant arch with a water screen is just blah. Worse yet many will not even see it if your on the sides of it.

As someone else already said, I feel like we have already seen the show and all it’s effects. No surprise effects that I can see, but hopefully I’m wrong. Pretty sad when we can already see the cuts and what more they could have done to make this a true “One of the largest nighttime shows” and pulling out all the stops.
Don’t get me wrong I’m still excited to see the final product, but I strongly question being Wowed or mind blown.

I also think a lot weighs on Harms soundtrack. In the eyes, or ears rather, the soundtrack has already failed from the very first preview we heard due to the obvious IP. But the largest factor is how big, full and Epic the soundtrack is overall, as well as the story and how it flows.

Aka Frozen, the Movie IP That Will Never Die.

I wonder how many die hard Epcot fans will go storming out of World Showcase when they start blaring “Let It Go” and “Into The Unknown” hahaha . I can almost guarantee you those songs will be in the show in some way lol.

 

[jrhwdw]

I think a perfect segment in Harmonious could be the use of Disney’s Myth A Frozen Tale.

At least the music in Myth is not IP lol.

Is that the new Short/Special on Disney+?

We have Let It Go inside Norway, so WS guests that does Norway are used to it already. I don't think there were storms of people during Whole New World in EF...


Call me crazy but, considering how well SSE Plaza turned out , I'm hoping for a little Epcot in Harm. Maybe we'll get FON or other Epcot Music during the day for the Harm. Fountain Shows?

Yeah Myth is the new short film. Love the music.

Hopefully Harm isn’t all IP and something like the new entrance music. Hopefully a new original theme song as well.

It was the most derided part of the show.

We'll be at the entrance plaza. That's our nighttime show now.

 

[TTA94]

Now that I’m thinking about it, I wonder if this was a deliberate thing on Disney’s part to introduce the new projection show along with Harmonious. HEA show in WS and a IP free (that we know of) show around SE.

 

[yensidtlaw1969]

All of this for a glorified YouTube singalong clip show.

Those things look like they belong on the Nordic sea. If I saw those pictures without context I would NEVER guess they were of a Theme Park.


Excepting the picture that reveals the whole of EPCOT, of course.

Past opening night I just left at that segment. Beat the crowds a little and enjoyed a good show that just happened to end a little abruptly.

[TTA94]

I'll stand by not being horribly offended by the show itself. IMO, its (sort of) what should have been done if Disney was hell bent on putting a permanent IP mish mash show into AK (which more natural looking show equipment ala RoL).

How well do you think Harm will be received? You think it will impress? or potentially be a flop?

 

[Inspired Figment]

It was the most derided part of the show.

Exactly! As someone who was there on the night it debuted, (was there with @Figments Friend and a few others). Both the sudden silence, groans, and the instant negative reaction once that song blared out after everyone was initially enjoying the show before that ending was deafening. That conclusion/message seemed very clear to me, seemed like a slap in the face to EPCOT’s original vision, designers, and fans than anything else. The show was basically, “Hey remember what you all loved about EPCOT? Well screw that, The “whole new world” (formed by free-spirited creativity ‘apparently’.. still doesn’t make any sense to me) is full of movie IP tie-ins. Add the tacked on out of context quote from Walt about EPCOT always evolving or whatever. Man, that left such a negative taste in our mouths, we basically marched towards Living with the Land afterwards to cleanse our mind from that.

 

[Inspired Figment]

honestly, you wouldn’t believe the amount of murmurs we heard from guests as everyone was making their way out of World Showcase. So many complaining about the ending and how they’d wanna never see that show again or were debating whether they’d return to EPCOT in the future. Not good..
