Agreed, I think it will be a much improved end to an EPCOT day.

I guess just like HEA and other shows it’s hit or miss how clear the beams of light are depending on weather conditions and how well the pyro smoke stays in place, yet not block the other visual elements of the show. A challenge I think Harmonious might face. Some nights will probably be better than others, visually. In the perfect world we’d need just enough fog but not to much to settle in each night before each show lol.
The lighting in Mickey’s Mix Magic at DL looks awesome with fog… but you can’t see the pyro
lol.

I sure hope so! That would make up for me not being able to get a park reservation for MK on the 1st!
Great way to run and test them for problems and durability.. before the main show debuts.

It's a shame so many people have made up their minds on a show that hasn't even premiered yet based upon the inclusion of IP.

As is that for the Millennium Celebration segment!

Yes, they turned the icon of the park into ad-space. You can't get more cheap and trashy. Imagine the castle with a projection for Ziploc. The Tree of Life plastered with the McDonald's Dollar Menu or the Chinese Theatre turned Surge green.

what does IP stand for?

Intellectual Property (in this particular usage though, it means the use of pre-existing film & television properties). The majority here are sick and tired of the overreliance & forced nature of movie/television based attractions being shorhorned into EPCOT & other places that doesn’t particularly need them. Particularly when they mostly come at the advantage of more unique park-exclusive concepts specifically/originally created for the parks

Oh interesting. Thanks! I may be one of the only people then who actually enjoys the Whole New World ending, funny enough it might be my favorite part of EF. I can see the argument against it however
I was talking about the GE funded 1988 shows laser barge. But hey.

It may rely heavily on the screens.
Which wouldn't be a good thing, but also wouldn't be visible for testing.

Yeah unfortunately.
Maybe its not such a good thing to get us used to a show with a lot of added pyro just to come down to less booms and more screens lol.

To be fair, EF is 12 minutes long, while Harmonious clocks in around 20 minutes, so it’s safe to say Harmonious will have more pyro.

Yeah that’s true. Hopefully Harmonious stays at 20 minutes and doesn’t get slashed down.

Oh man, the barges are going to look amazing at night. The LED tape in this video might look simple, but this is pretty bright for a daytime test. I hard to tell if they’re polychromatic but I’m soooo excited to watch this show.
I said this before but Disney World’s night shows are actually the reason I work on Broadway doing lighting. I still hope one day I can work at DW as an imagineer for their night shows.

Well, now they'll have four more screens to make sure the sponsor's messaging can't be missed.

I doubt you're the only one. The last time I was there, I had a family next to me that kept thinking the music was supposed to be "from" something throughout the entire show but couldn't figure it out.
