News Reflections of Earth confirmed to be replaced by Harmonious

[TTA94]

The rumored date was May... which could be considered still “Spring” to Disney. They didn’t say early or late Spring.

The new Florida 3-day ticket PR talks about seeing EF and nothing about HUS, and that ticket is good until June 2.

Spring isn't over till near the end of June.

Jus' sayin'.

Look at what Singapore did with drones for NYE. That second hand on the clock is pretty incredible.

I like how at the end of the countdown they shot down all those drones with anti-aircraft missiles.

It’s the only way to be sure they don’t become sentient.

Looks like D23 removed the Spring 2020 and now just says 2020.

 

[TTA94]

Slightly off subject but it was nice last night on NYE to hear the Illuminations pre show music again. Although there were some song mixed in that I don’t remember? Anyone know what they might be?

 

[Gringrinngghost]

You’ll see.

Calm down Kim Possible.

Per Eyes and Ears, Summer 2020.

I’m guessing the main center barge is not on site yet?

Bits of it are... around.

@marni1971 Have you heard anything about the soundtrack? From the preview clips it sounds to me like it will be something some of us in the US are familiar with when listening to soundtracks from the overseas parks, with a mix of English and other languages? Which will probably not go over very well with some lol.

What I think will make or break this show is if it will have a meaningful story or theme. Thats what made HEA popular. RoL lacks that and, well, you see the lack of popularity there lol.

This show also has the added complication of location. Will it be an admission of a MK2.0?

They’re playing with fire.

I’m afraid that answer will be a resounding yes.

Maybe that’s what they are aiming for? To take some of the load off MK? Which it won’t lol.

One issue I think is Harmonious miiight be debuting earlier than it should be. I personally am looking forward to it regardless, but for others it might help if the park goes through it’s full “IP” transformation first.

Tbh, I don't think the Bob's care if they're "admitting" anything. They want to get as many brands in the parks as possible, they don't care or understand about what Epcot used to be.

 

[Epcot82Guy]

This really does feel like they are packing in the IP to create a licensing revenue stream for the parks when they sell them (or their management) off.

 

[RSoxNo1]

The appeal of IP is simple minded executives that don’t understand proper theming. They understand “Star Wars ride” they don’t understand “ride about the history of communication”.

Nondescript coaster themed to India or whatever.
