Hmm those are also the EF barges to.... if they brought them out for testing, that could be for either show?

i dont think that World showcase lagoon has enough depth to hide those structures at all. I don't think that Disney wanted to Hide those things at all, I think that it was intentional for them to do it cause of budget cuts. They could have done it.look at WOC Fantasmic! DisneySea.
EPCOT has its own backstage area for barges they have enough space but they just don't want to do it. MONEY talks.and the lack of sponsorship for HARMONIOUS speaks itself.
It’s not for a show. Just technical checks.

So wait....(and forgive me for being so late to the party on this)....
....these barges are going to be permanent fixtures out in the lagoon?

What if, they can but they need to wait until each one is fully set up on the lagoon. Yeah, I know about the huge chains anchoring them. What if there are underwater wrenches that will pull them down to close to water line.
Yeah, yeah, I know. very unlikely, but one can dream.

From some of the art work they showed a while back I don't think we will be seeing the barges after installation and testing are complete. It is my understanding that all of the big barges are in reality fountains during the day. They will transform at night for the show. So in the next few weeks we should see that.

Just because its function changes, that doesn't make the barge disappear...

I tend to agree. I’ve been thinking that. Not that it excuses it. It makes it almost worse in that they KNEW this would look horrible and continued down that design path.

I think what really irks me is that it appears - to me - they thought draping the Stargate with water during the day would be an adequate replacement for the Fountain of Nations.

I really think they should put some kind of artwork on it rather than the current (horribly painted) nothing-to-see-here black. A SSE triangle motif, a retro-ish blue and silver color block pattern, flags of World Showcase... it could only improve the look at this point.
And since they're sitting in the middle of a guest area, they're going to need repainting at regular intervals, artwork or no artwork. Might as well put something visually attractive on them.

And does anyone know an estimated date from when we could expect a test show or two?

That much is known. Trying to hide them behind fountains is part of the problem (and a joke)
It would still be as bad.

It would still be bad, but it wouldn't be as bad.
They should do neither, but the fact they went with what seems like the worst option possible is astounding.

Are we sure they do not sink? The doors at that level look rather sealed, like a bulkhead door you would see on a naval ship.
