Well, the tacos don’t look better in person…
I just can’t forgive the all-day-every-day-daytime eyesore for whatever the length of time Harm is. Show matters, or at least it used to.

What do you mean? They repainted them an extra dark shade of black - problem solved!

The growing obsession with one-upping another person’s negativity are reaching new levels around these parts. They are giving us the content promised. The Stargate and tacos look the same as they did many months ago. All that has changed is we are seeing show visuals, which I think seem pretty fantastic.
Thankfully, it’s always festival time at Epcot. I’ll drink wine all day so I don’t notice the Lagoon clutter.
Can‘t see the tacos from La Place de Remy!
Paint them sky blue and voila!! Instant stealth mode!
Pictures make them look smaller than they actually are. In person, they are huge. Impossible to ignore.

I'm not usually super optimistic but I feel very confident in Epcot's future moving forward. I know IP being in Epcot is controversial and I understand why it is. But all I can say about the new Epcot is give it time. Give it time to create memories, give it time to grow on you (eventually it will for most).
As far as the HarmonioUS soundtrack, I really enjoyed what I was hearing in that behind the scenes video. Idk the name of it but the snippet of that track around the 1:09 minute mark sounded REALLY good (it's already gotten stuck in my head lol).
I was also concerned that the sheer size of the barges would make the fireworks feel small but the pyro still feels big and impactful likes Illuminations pyro did.
I have a lot of faith in this show and I can't wait to see it!

I love classic Epcot. But if Epcot is going a certain direction, I just want to see it done well.
I adored Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout in spite of myself. I wanted to hate it. Simply impossible.
So I can mourn 80s and 90s Epcot while also realizing Cosmic Rewind will be a blast. At the end of the day, everything at WDW is fake. Mission: Space is the most “Epcot” thing we’ve gotten in decades and it is still extremely unrealistic.
I want to be wowed and have fun in the parks. Harmonious looks to do both. This is my issue with Smuggler’s Run: the actual ride doesn’t wow me and isn’t fun enough.

Yeah. A lot of newer changes or additions that I was at first skeptical about turned out to surpass or meet my expectations and made me happy. That's part of the reason why I feel confident about Epcot 2.0 and HarmonioUS.
HarmonioUS will definitely be an amazing show. That's never been a doubt in my mind to be honest. This will be Epcot's flagship show for the foreseeable future as was Illuminations and I'm sure the imagineers behind this show understands this. I'm just hoping it's worthy of Epcot and worthy of succeeding I:ROE. You know?
We can always remember old Epcot while having a blast with new Epcot. I think the only way new Epcot will succeed is if we allow it to. Same thing with Harm. It won't be able to surpass illuminations if we don't allow it to. And that goes for new attractions to. It's a community effort

I can be counted as one who embraces future Epcot.
I loved classic Epcot, it was my favorite park at the time.
But given it was left to age out and become dated and irrelevant, I'm really looking forward to the new direction.
However...
One direction I do not like is huge ugly eyesores cluttering up the lagoon all day, even if they bring a spectacular show at night.
It better be spectacular.
There are massive amounts of monstrous equipment parked out there all day, every day.

I agree with you. It being out in the daytime is something I'm not fond of either. That's really the only main issue I have with HarmonioUS (well, besides certain viewpoint being at a disadvantage but that I can live with).
If Disney would find it in them to just move the barges out only before showtime I'd love the show even more. If Disney gets rid of that water show they were planning on doing, it could be a step in the right direction toward getting them out of the lagoon.

It's not HarmonioUS anymore, just Harmonious, or HARMONIOUS.
Unless you're one of the cool kids that still boasts how you still call Disney Hollywood Studios "MGM" (which wasn't it's full name to begin with), then you can still use HarmonioUS.

What if you’re like me and call it MGM out of a habit I’ve yet been able to break?It's not HarmonioUS anymore, just Harmonious, or HARMONIOUS.

Though I’ve gotten better at just calling it Studios.

Doesn’t bug me. A perfect sight line isn’t something that’s going to upset me.
Maybe just another 13 years will help break the habit!

Yes! The music sounded amazing and I LOVE they have folks native to those countries and cultures doing the music and signing. One could say it’s harmoniousLet's be unpopular together! I'm excited for it too and I like the way the images look on the screens so far. Even the music sounds gorgeous (oh my gosh, the Coco part).

This is more than just a perfect sightline hindered.
This is a huge amount of industrial looking clutter that ruins the whole theme of the area.
