Stargate's arms are back in action. Not sure if that's a new development tonight or another recent day. They weren't working any of the three times I watched in August. Makes a great difference.
Maybe we need something to replace Harmonious then.

Because Iluminations told a story, didn't rely on IPs, and a better score.

and utilized World Showcase pavilions, harmonious is just a mess and destroyed the lagoon.

Yeah, I loved the moment in Reflections of Earth where each of the pavilions around World Showcase (except Morocco and Norway) slowly lit up in sync to the music.

Most people enjoy Harmonious. The most hate for it comes from this board and a few YouTube comment sections. Outside of others opinions, I personally think it's a great show and I have enjoyed seeing it change and evolve over time. Also happy to see Illuminations era holiday shows adapt to the Harm tech,

Sometimes the arms don’t work and sometimes they do.

For me it's because Illuminations didn't clutter the water with huge, hideous barges all day long just to put on a short show at night.
Also: More (bigger, brighter, louder) isn't always better in my book.

Few pyro changes plus small details (like fountain sequence for Coco).

sometimes you could see what was on the Illuminations globe. Who am I kidding, you could never see what was on the Illuminations globe.

The shows a mish mash of too much at once but not enough happening. Do I watch the screens? The fountains? The fireworks? The arms and lights? No build up to a grand event because every segment is it's own event.
It has no pacing. It's the purest definition of a clip show. You can drop a segment and never know it was gone.
My hate for the show really got to me after the boat view of the side of the ring. How was something that simple overlooked? My favorite bit from that was receiving an official picture of the show that showed me what I didn't see.

Surveys say otherwise.

That is really pushing it.. I had many nights where we enjoyed it without much issue.. We have no time viewing the new show because no one is blocking your view to see it on most nights.

My kid was underwhelmed with the barges even during the show. Music underwhelmed him too so we left. Adding in the monstrosities during the day doesn't help. Many like it. Many don't. I don't think either were universally loved butI sure had an easier time looking for a spot for Harmonious vs IllumiNations so that says something to me.

Looks like I've offended the Illuminations crowd again. I quite enjoy seeing people get worked up over a dead firework show
