Meh, slightly too much nitpicking.

Too reliant on breakable tech? Effects can break down, but EPCOT by vocation ought to push ambitious tech. *

Daylight testing a spoiler? Guests could ride a monorail through a half finished EPCOT just to entice them to return next year when the park opened.

I'd rather keep the eye on the ball: this show by its nature is the destruction of the EPCOT dream, whereas RoE was its high rite.


* Although in a larger sense there is indeed a certain willing blindness of designers to WDW maintenance standard. 'Built for flashy opening day, put that in your portfolio, move on to next project'. No designer cares anymore what the product looks like in two years time, never mind fifteen. TWDC park ops always cutting entertainment? Never mind, just built the new land with 40 stages that you know will never be utilised - it still looks great on your pitch talk and portfolio.

To my knowledge, this is the first show that breaks a long-standing entertainment department tradition of overnight and out of sight rehearsals, which is something that isn't even limited to nighttime spectaculars... With very rare exception, Disney simply doesn't rehearse or test anything during the day in venues that aren't completely able to control guest access.

World of color... and rivers of light...

Common thread... i guess they really like daylight for water show testing

I won't be that far away to not see them while visiting the park. To me, the lake and views have been ruined, regardless of the finished product. Some of us still care about these things.
