Does WDI have a lot of input on something like this?

They would have had considerable input.
It’s possible they raised objections and were ignored, but something as basic as alignment of the show just to avoid repositioning the center dock, I have to think WDI of yesteryear would have found a way to make it happen and remain in budget.
I blame WDI as much as management on this cluster...

I just got back from visiting Epcot this past Sunday. The tacos and stargate are more hideous in person than in the photos. It's physically jarring to be enjoying a stroll around the lagoon, look towards what would normally be across the water at the opposing country, and get stopped in your tracks by giant black blobs instead. When approached by a PPP, I asked it he could take one without the tacos in it, and he actually got upset with me for asking. Seriously?!
Which brings me to another question: I'm seeing posts regarding the cleanliness of the lagoon water. One of my favorite stops, especially on a hot day, is in Canada at the bottom of the falls (entrance to the movie). I will stand there and let the mist cool me off, and now I'm starting to second guess myself. Is this the same nasty water you speak of that's in the lagoon?

Lol even if it's all connected I'm sure it's safe to get misted with it. If it wasn't, they'd prevent you from doing it.

Hmm I wonder if that is a directive from the higher-ups or just the thoughts of the individual PPP? Either way, it’s ridiculous that they would be shocked that people don’t want a tangle of industrial steel in their family photos.

'Rivers of Light' could be considered a bonified masterpiece when compared to this atrocious visible mess on World Showcase lagoon....

Just saw some photos of Epcot... sheesh. Random, but I was immediately reminded of this unique Atari 2600 game-
Looks about the same, maybe this is what they're going for...

That is using a telephoto lens from the most unflattering angle possible. It would be impossible to see it that way without a bionic eye.

This is like playing Planet Coaster, and up to now you've been using all in-game assists. Then suddenly you decide to import a custom assets made for a completely different game style and it sticks out like a sore thumb...

It will be at night when all the smoke, fire, water, lasers and fireworks are happening.

Seriously though, an addition of stadium style grandstand between the two gateway shops, done properly, would help alleviate the 'first impression' impact of those approaching WS.
And it would generate

No, it wouldn’t. There is no covering up the jarring visual you get when walking towards WSL. None.
Remind us all again the last time you set foot inside Epcot, or any WDW theme park, for that matter?

If you couldn't see the barges on approach it would make a great deal of difference to the first time guest. A stadium or amphitheater though small in this situation, would help IMO. You have to imagine what the creatives could do with such a project. Lots of possibilities.
It could even have a few skyboxes. Climate controlled of course.

I’ve seen the barges/tacos/stargate with my own two eyes. Have you?
