Aside from the assembly of the barges anyone know what other work needs to be done before programming and testing begins? Any work/additions around WS?

Bigger than a Pink Floyd concert!

They have already upgraded the lasers, moved the spot lights, and worked on the foundations in the middle of the lagoon for the show. Not sure what else needs to be done.

Unfortunately not surprising but I hope this is false.

Nondescript coaster themed to India or whatever.

The author of that article just responded to my calling that out like a year ago. Odd timing.

I thought it was originally just 2020 and the first time we heard spring was the D23 article that they immediately changed back to just 2020?

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.

Rivers of Light had a meaningful story and theme, just poorly conveyed because the directors overestimated a general audience's ability/willingness to interpret symbolism and pantomime with barely any exposition.

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”.

Yeah the nerve. You’d almost think they would suggest removing a classic non-ip Omni-mover attraction for a Star Wars ride! If only tony Baxter was in charge! Oh wait....

(I’m not for harmonious but it’s ironic none the less...)

Anyone know the fate of the torches? I thought they'd be done after RoE, but they were incorporated into Epcot Forever and still light during the preshow. They are one of my favorite parts of World Showcase. Even though the amazing RoE preshow music is no more and was replaced by music that's fine, but doesn't stand out like the RoE preshow music, I'm glad the torches are still there, at least for now.

Apparently they are staying. Was just posted the torches refurbishment begins today.

It's worth noting the video title and description calls the show Harmonious (no capital letters) in a couple locations. It's either an error or something that's been changed.

Did always seem a little bit like US (aka United States). Weird in a show about the world.

The Disney Parks Blog post accompanying this video also drops the capital US.

Yeah noticed that, interesting.

Unless they don’t plan to light up the pavilions anymore, I still think the show should have been called Illuminations: Harmonious at the very least, keeping the Illuminations name.
