Trying to imagine how the opening music is going to be for Harm. They said it’s going to be the “How Far I’ll Go/Go The Distance” which originally we thought was the finale song lol. But that seems a bit odd to immediately start the show off with that. Maybe the opening will start off with the Epcot Anthem along with a narrator, then fade into “How Far I’ll Go/Go The Distance”?

From a musical point of view I'd disagree with you. I think the Brave soundtrack is excellent.

I'm sincerely impressed they've dusted off Someday for the finale. Always felt it was an underrated song with a really nice message that ended up being given an underwhelming boy band treatment as the pop single for Hunchback. Seems a very appropriate and potentially moving way to end the show with the new theme, and it will also be a new song for most of the guests there unlike, say, a blast of A Whole New World.
Overall, I am happy they are at least trying to do something interesting with the selection of artists, languages, and songs for the show if they have to fit it within the IP mandate. Still think permanently parking the equipment in the middle of World Showcase Lagoon goes completely against what was supposed to make Disney Parks different, though, and simply should not have been tolerated as a cost for this show to run.

They took down the signage mentioning the fountains a while ago, so I suspect they're never turning them on. They always made everything look worse when they tested them.

Which was inevitable and I'm still baffled they ever thought it was a workable idea in the first place. There was no way putting fountains on those barges was going to look good.

Even the concept art looked weirdly ugly!

I'm expecting some type of merch too. I mean, HarmonioUS is going to be the new permanent show and it already has its own EPCOT poster art. I already told my family that when we see the show, I'll get merch if I think its good lol.
Epcot should run shows with the fountains on with the daytime fireworks they did at one point as the parks should be crowded enough to warrant it. But that would require Chapek caring about guests.

Yes, from the looks of the illustrations - the fountains would have only brought more attention to the structures.

Well then that's a hot take if I've seen one lol. No doubt HarmonioUS will beat DE in quality BY FAR but I do think DE will be really good and the music is definitely showing potential in my opinion.
But yes, HarmonioUS will be the shining star of really any nighttime entertainment available in Orlando in my opinion.
I mean, just look at her

Nothing will top WoC. But since we are talking Orlando here, it remains to be seen if Harm will top Universal and Sea Worlds shows. Since Universal took the WoC approach I think fountain wise that will definitely continue to beat any WDW show. Ignite at SW has a lot of fire effects that, as far as we know, Harmonious will not have any.
One day hopefully WDW will get something like WoC but on a larger scale and with pyro!
Never thought I would see that in this Board!! LOL!!!!! No doubt I will like it.(I think...) Whether it tops MK, SWO USF : no clue.Well then that's a hot take if I've seen one lol.

I disagree, No show/nighttime spectacular from Universal or Sea World will have the emotional effect of Disney shows. They are a spectacle but you don't see people tearing up from their shows. Unless of course you are an emotionless and cold-hearted person.

HarmonioUS even will top RDCT at Disneyland that were shown from 2005 to 2018 as the best Disney firework show ever since the latter show at Disneyland have become more dated. I assume that both shows are produced by Steve Davison?Well then that's a hot take if I've seen one lol.
