EPCOT Reflections of Earth confirmed to be replaced by Harmonious

[Cmdr_Crimson]

Just my opinion

Tapestry Of Nations song has been a part of Epcot park forever. The part they played as ROE was over was great. It won new fans every night it played. Stayed in heads

NOT including it in Harmonious was a miss
BUT AT LEAST play it after the the show as your walking out instead of whatever what is playing now.

You can always hear a unique version of it in the Creations store loop..I pinned it to the point it starts playing in the loop..

Don't know if anyone has noticed yet, but they've been tinkering with the finale pyro. These are reportedly new perimeter comet shells. I myself noticed a few other things.

I've been actively watching DE every night when I can and the same's been happening over there and been noting it in the DE thread. A lot of the finale pyro swapped for better shells/effects.

Glad to see someone's done the same for Harmonius!!

Now we know what came of those surveys. “I love Harmonious and Bob and mostly Bob but feel IllumiNations had better finale shells” was the #1 opinion.

Thank goodness this is any easy fix.

While not an incorrect opinion, I can't believe that would be the only complaint when comparing the two shows.

So... Epcot had fireworks testing from 11:30-12:30. Oddly enough, they tested the artillery of comets from the lagoons edge multiple times, which they've already changed twice this week. Music was quite literally BLASTING. Also noticed was a change to the finale to blue and yellow colors. It seems this show is either stuck in pyro hell right now or we may see some genuine changes on the horizon.

One of the things I miss most in the new show are the large fireworks that go off right on the surface of the lagoon. Those were pretty epic. Ofcourse the music and perfect timing helped immensely in the effect.

Any new music?

I would guess this is a temporary reference to Ukraine.

Sound wasn't good enough to hear. We pretty much all know that Harmonious will be changed though. I'll bet my car that Epcot Forever will come back for the 40th, then Harmonious will return upgraded or different.

I wonder what they'll remove.

I love this picture.

I figured there would have been more than that but the point about Illuminations having better finale shells is fair.

I know someone mentioned this already but love the potential nod to Ukraine. Lives up to the shows message/purpose.

Big HarmonioUS fan but I agree with that. The first couple of pyro shots with the music just hit different.

 

[Vinnie Mac]

This is exciting and a little bit scary. I love the current show but I'm excited to see what's changed, what's removed, and what's kept. With the show being so loved and hated though im curious as to if Disney is gonna try to go for a middle ground or what. I also like how Harmonious is an evolving project much like Iluminations was until Reflections of Earth.

Getting those June 2021 excitement vibes again.

There’s no nuance in most guests. “Want bigger boom!”

Lol. Some people I know say they like Enchantment because people like boom boom and more boom boom the better. I have always looked at Illuminations and HarmonioUS as more "cinematic" shows with more focus on the message and overall experience of the show. It is the reason why I love both.

 

[MisterPenguin]

So... I'm guessing the addition of Encanto.

I hope not. They'd probably have to replace the Coco segment which is one of the best parts of Harm 1.0

No. There wasn't any Encanto music. Oddly enough, there was 'Out There', followed by some Epcot Forever songs, and then back to assorted Disney music.
