Reflections of Earth improvements including new lasers

[Sage of Time]

Which is exactly why I'm betting that particular phrase will be changed in some way come Friday...

I can live with it if the new lasers and the new show is good.

Still upset that Cronkite will be gone, though. Or if pyro is cut.

Bets on part of the narration change to remove/update "peace on earth, good will to men" in order to be politically correct?

So many Americans have no clue how grammar works.

Change Peace on Earth to "Peace on Earth, goodwill to all".

In some languages, the word "all" would have to be either masculine or feminine. What do those countries do!

But actually, the entire phrase should be taboo for the politically correct (but not for me), because of its source...

My bet is no change.

My bet is no change.

If it's Cronkite's narration, just done by a new person... oy. What was the point?

I was not expecting this to show the new lasers very well based on the description and the blurry/shakycam nature, but parts of it definitely show the improvements.

NOTE: The soundtrack audio is quite a bit ahead of the visuals...

FRUSTRATINGLY shaky, but WOW those lasers. <3

There will be other changes also, even Norway and Morocco will get to participate also.

WHAT.

W H A T.

OK, I'm floored and confused.

And can't wait.

(Projections? Lights not "On" the structures, but in front of them? Lasers pointed AT the structure?)

WHAT

Hopefully we will get a full show video of the finished product soon. Up to now the project has either been shot incomplete or has managed to capture lasers stops probably due to aircraft in the vicinity. Happens a lot this time of year with extra private flights in the area.

Ahh, so that's why the lasers cut out, then? Sheesh. I'm amazed that these things are done at the drop of a hat. Doesn't Disney get much say in their show integrity?

Disney may be Disney but the FAA has more say when it comes to aircraft safety. You can warn aircraft about laser usage but if they fly where they're allowed to regardless of a warning on a chart then safety trumps show.

IllumiNations used to have a particular beam from America that shot right over the roof of the Contemporary. Looked great from Top of the World but it tended to stray much too far, potentially towards anything flying off property and minding it's own business North of the perimeter.

Ah, so it's based on if the plane makes a mistake and decides to fly too close to EPCOT. I thought it was overtly intentional. Interesting.

Cool about the laser over Contemporary. What part of the show?

Not so much a mistake (though that is another reason) - FAA charts warn about laser activity in the area but if a pilot ignores the warning the beams don't stop at 3000ft.

As for the 88 show I don't recall. I just remember being at Top of the World in 1993 and seeing it shoot over our heads.

Oh, how cool. Wish they could get away with that. I remember being a kid in Future World in the 90s and seeing the lasers cut patterns overhead. Amazing how much of a downgrade the tech took in 99 for RoE's multicolored lasers.

Certainly not the greatest video. Its from a cell phone (suffering from vertical video syndrome to make things worse) and it only shows Home and some of Celebration, but it gives a pretty good idea of the new fan effect for Home.

 

[Sage of Time]

Those COLORS.

Goodness.

 

[Sage of Time]

One more day until Peace on Earth!!

CANT WAIT!

It just sounds so wrong without the sperm fireworks. Those have been out a while though right? I can't keep up these days, been away too long
