Yes and that whole positing is very odd. One side is facing the theater at American adventure so the prime spot is lost from that side, and the other side is frequently used for events.

I believe one version of the show had the thing rotating. Really though, this was a lesson learned long ago that shows need 360 degree vis at EPCOT.

Any idea why they change versions? Budget? Not Covid since we know it barges were being constructed before the pandemic hit.

That's what gets me. For all the tech in this show, the lack of 360 viewing of the central barge is confusing. Yes we have screens to look at but people will continue to see the central barge.

I just have so many questions about this entire project.

Assume that the one or two good viewing spots will be $$$$. The next couple OK spots will be $$.

Leftovers for the plebs.

Oh I'm certain of that. Good thing projection stuff and cartoons on water don't do much for me, so I'll be pleased to watch the fireworks from the cheap seats.

Ok, I am not a fan of how the Harmonious set pieces look in the lake. But I think this show could really wow us. The list of effects and the rumored about of pyro is promising. I am looking forward to it.

With all of the gearing and mechanical work we see in the arms as they are being tested and based on the size and layout of the base of the stargate, I am betting it turns - especially when the corner arms are extended back and around in RoE mode that we saw a week or so ago.

The arms on the center barge and the arms on the 4 peripheral barges (aka taco barges) rotate. However, the center does not rotate. It’s in position and isn’t moving unless the barge moves, which we all know that’s not happening anytime soon.

Unless somehow the center barge does something different than we are expecting. Which I doubt. Maybe the fountains on the arms will create a water screen all around the center barge?

I‘m hoping they’ve installed a Klingon cloaking device that will make the whole damn thing disappear. But I doubt it.

Just dig a subterranean lagoon with an appropriately lenticularly distorted version of everything underneath it, surround Harmonious with a glass cone, and Pepper's ghost the whole thing. Blocking the sun may also be necessary but shouldn't prove too difficult. Simpsons did it.
