Agreed. The moment between the pyro hearts, through the phrase "the great symphony of us", to the grand finale gives me chills every time I see it. Gorgeous message and storytelling.

If I had to guess, they're loading the center barge up (not the tower piece, the area around it) with pyro now since most of the new stuff seems to launching from it. Maybe they feel pretty good about how it's functioning to add the full pyro load to it now.

Agreed. They're kind of there but there needs to be more and they need to be a lot louder. One of my main criticisms with Harmonious is that i feel like it ended with a whimper instead of a bang. Luminous halfway fixes this problem but i would love to see the big crackles return!

It does not come from the lift used for the spiral/blossom effect, but it does come from the same base barge it sits on top of. Basically that barge in the very center.

It needs those loud popping fireworks all over the place at the very end (like they used in illuminations)

Are we sure these are changes that were going to be included from day one?

With both Harmonious and Enchantment, Disney made sure to say when they premiered that they were still waiting on pyro to come in for the show. I think it speaks to Tucker coming in and being able to make a show that stood alone as having great pyro, with possibly some of the effects not yet in place. I am curious, does the spiral effect that happens in the finale also hold the new pyro for the final burst?

He filmed those shots months ago, the extra pyro was just added a couple of days ago so it doesn't include them.

I needed some time to completely warm up to the show, but this video definitely pulled me across the line. I love it now. Can't wait to see it in person. I thought the pyro looked different and much better in this vide (design wise) than I've seen in others so far. Maybe someone more in the know can tell me if this video includes the extra pyro people on here have been talking about? What a show. Also, these barges are perfect for Epcot imo. Also also, never noticed the torches and country lights go on with each welcome before.

I love the new pyro that shoots out at the end of the Friendship segment and the sparklers at the beginning of the Love section is a really nice touch
