Fifth and final major piece of hardware now in World Showcase lagoon for the upcoming Harmonious show at EPCOT
All of the barges are now in place for EPCOT'S next nighttime spectacular.

The fifth and final show platform barge for the upcoming Harmonious nighttime spectacular is now in place in World Showcase lagoon at EPCOT.

Named the "Germany" barge, the fin-shaped platform will provide fountains, LED screen and firework effects for the show.

See the video below for a look from various locations around World Showcase, and click the gallery for more pictures.

The barge was brought out overnight on Tuesday from the backstage marina where it was being assembled.

With all the hardware now in the lagoon, it leaves crews with everything they need to finished preparing the show platforms with testing and programming.

An opening date for Harmonious is not yet available, although Disney has said they expect it to debut in 2021.

You see the same thing on the Jersey Turnpike. After a while it becomes part of the charm when you’re sitting in traffic during rush hour! If that can grow on me, these barges will grow on you too! And you won’t be sitting in traffic either!

Now that everything 's out in WSL, overnight testing will really be interesting!..when Epcot schedules it...
You know those movies where the villain builds a huge device of mass destruction out in public view and nobody questions it?

If that's the best one....
And the band played on.

Can they be fired if we don’t like the tune they are playing? Asking for a friend. 😉
I know the current rumor is Epcot Forever for summer.... but with all the hardware for Harmonious in place, you'd think that they could launch the show by July 4th (3 months from now) if they wanted to.

I’d imagine so.
This is what it looked like the entire week we were there a few years ago from our balcony in the Grand Californian.

I’m sorry.

But still better than Epcot.

The trifecta.

Fin barge, Stargate, and a big box in the distance.

Well, we didn't complain, because we got to watch WoC from our balcony every night, with the music piped into the room. No crowds at all, and able to enjoy a nice adult beverage during the show. We were in the DVC part.
What a mess!
