As someone who didn't get to see the special, how much of it was spent on luminous and it was the section actually good unlike the behind the attraction nighttime spectaculars episode. The thing about the behind the attraction episode that annoyed me so much was that they spent 10 minutes on harmonious and didn't even mention reflections of Earth at all.

I just watched EPCOT Becoming: Inside the Transformation and they have a whole segment about Luminous being a part of the transformation but zero mention of Harmonious. As you say they clearly want people forget about it.

Harmonious was a clip show designed to show diverse voices. It was a product of the moment and ended up kind of backfiring and playing into stereotypes instead. Luminous is significantly better and would downgraded by allowing any of that garbage within 500 feet of it

The song from Aladdin was... problematic. The song from PatF was way overcooked.

Harmonious will forever be considered just a 50th Anniversary showcase highlight but why must some or all of the music pieces from this show need to be forgotten. If you took the music it's no more different than Luminious just fuller than just a snippet. Imagine highlighting some of Harmonious using existing pyro Luminous barges it could give a bit of power and action to improve Luminous perhaps....

Literally people complained about Illumination's ROE for it's dead time, then came Epcot Forever and Harmonious with none and now you get Luminous with it! Which is why enjoy because any ask for change doesn't mean it's going to be changed just saying.

Easy. The Love Letter was from Walt's Vision

That show/tag was for DVC not after hours

Very doubtful. I think they want everyone to forget about Harmonious. This shows already had more effort put in it for after hours events with it having anniversary tag ran as its' own show. With all lighting and fountains too.

I think if they were to do a different After Hours show it’s more likely they would reprogram Harmonious with the new infrastructure than RoE.

DUH!!!! I totally forgot the Inferno Barge!!!!!! Long Week with a Cold and Posting on the Fly!!!

How would they market that? "illuminations, but with no globe or inferno barge"? Doesn't that eliminate 60% of illuminations?

By pyro I meant the large fire explosions lol Can definitely run ROE there easily... just won't have the impressive wow moments from the missing fire

Why couldn't Epcot use Luminous' Barges for ROE Pyro if it's only for After Hours? ROE's No Globe Version should be super easy to pull off. Plus, less dead time in that Version.
