Twitter is eviscerating Harmonius. Sounds like a complete and utter misfire on every level.

And I'm not going to lie, as someone who was opposed to the very concept of that show from the beginning, I'm feeling just a bit vindicated at the moment, which will inevitably be replaced by despair at how utterly clueless the decision makers are and how eagerly they're ruining their own products.

:(

That's a bummer. And the big show things sitting in the middle of the water blocking the views of World Showcase all day is just insult to injury.

I felt actively uncomfortable after watching it and the kites today. It's not just you.

I have no energy to be mad at it; I'm honestly just sad that so much money was poured into a show that (for me anyway) has kind of bombed. I don't know how long it'll take for Disney to suck up their hubris and fix the show, but I really hope they do so at some point.

Ok, so I just watched it. I think it could be improved with an intro that sets the expectation of what is to follow. I'm not sure what the intent was, but I got a "travel around the world in Disney song" vibe from it. So maybe just say that. If that was not their intention, then... oops? hahah... Also, I found the ending awkward. Just end on the big orchestral section with lots of fireworks, and light up Spaceship Earth with that. Or something... I don't know, I'm not a show designer, but as an audience member, the show "felt" over and then it wasn't... with a creepy disembodied voice telling me to be good.

Oh well. I'm probably not the best judge of these things. I'm usually not that impressed with fireworks shows, etc.

Watched the YouTube video… Harmonious looks technically impressive but emotionally lifeless. What’s worse is that by day the new barges seem to have all the charm and beauty of the abandoned Peoplemover tracks.

At a bare minimum the show needs a compelling intro and outro (finale) and perhaps a score to play to that may pull it together thematically. Right now it’s very disjointed. A disappointing misfire to be sure.

Well said. It felt like a Disney version of the Bellagio water show. I'm not sure that is what they were going for.

I also found myself watching the clock....

But wait, I was told here that this would never happen and that it was going to trial. Color me shocked, even though I said this would happen….

This is what this embarrassing forum has done to me. Clearly, my access has been limited and my ability to post censored by coward moderators who really, truly need to get real jobs and actually contribute to society. Which they don't. At all. And they've seemingly intentionally tanked this forum in the last year. It's now mostly unreadable swill. I'm not allowed to post more than once an hour, which no one else experiences, and those other members, let's face it, the majority of these unreadable nutjobs I've had on ignore, and they're always here. Just delete my username. Do it. Remove me from this website so I can't read TP2000's absurd postings. Oops!
