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.

Issue is that the big "wow" factor of Illuminations were the pyro barges... doubt they invest in one for just after hour events. However, would be an "easy" level to pull if attendance slumps and they run RoE for a limited time.

I would spend an exorbitant amount of money on a ticket if they did this and the show was true to the RoE concept and well implemented.

A after hours with Illuminations using Luminous equipment without the fire or globe would sell it out but of course they won't do that.

One thing that I like about Luminous is that it follows that old entertainment rule: Tell, don't show. ;)

Luminous is great. Build on it.. Still would be okay with Epcot Forever at After Hours events like Enchantment.

No clue. I didn't bump it. I think it may have just been a new member thing. :) From what I've heard, Luminous is actually doing decently well.

Why the Thread Bump????? Is Luminous having trouble with not many Guests around WSL or Low Scores??????
