This was the first of the Harmonious barges to be brought out into World Showcase Lagoon in December 2020.

Painting crews are applying deep black paint to parts of the structure, along with pressure washing.

As you can see from the Canada barge, the weather is already taking a toll on the appearance.

Saw it last night and loved it! Visibility was much better than the previous show.

Imagine this is the song they play right before the fires around the world showcase go out for illuminations when it comes back

Problem now with the Illumination Name it now reminds me too much of this..

Yes, see this is why I'm not a fan of The most recent shows since Epcot Forever..They don't interest me.

“Harluminously EPCOT: Reflections of Centerous!”

I think the next show name should also sound like Luminous, harmonious, illuminations, festivus, fireworkious - so we At some point just give up and call it The Epcot show

No animated projections. Just planar lasers and spotlights.

Luminous got the perfect balance for its projection infrastructure. The Illuminations globe was too small that you couldn't see what was going on, whilst Harmonious had the giant tacos that couldn't be moved and also needed to be viewed dead center to be fully experienced. Luminous is right in the middle in that you can see the projections but the floats can be moved backstage

I am not of the opinion that IluumiNations was the epitome of fireworks shows. It had issues of pacing and visibility... And less fireworks. While I hate that Luminous includes You Got a Friend, it's a nice mix of new and well-known songs. It's visibility around the Lagoon or standing behind a crowd is great.

Luminous feels like it’s trying to be Harmonious 2 (which in itself was essentially HEA) while trying to capture some drops of RoE’s essence. It’s better than Harm, but the lot of successors are all a far cry from IllumiNations

You’re talking about luminous right?

IMO I just think HarmonioUS feels more like it has 5 years on it's lifespan before they end it..Unless by 2032 For IllumiNations 50 we at least would see something amazing.

I believe it's all about concept. IROE was a story of how we came to be and what we have become, and possibly what our future could be. Everything else IMHO is just a low brow movie soundtrack sing-along. To me, once you leave the true story telling that was the concept of IROE and Epcot, it will be very hard to go back.
