Harmonius really being discontinued?

[WEDcryoHEAD]

This could go done as one of the more expensive Disneyworld failures. I can't imagine how much those barges cost to build and just to basically throw them away.......ouch.

I want one for my pond, would really keep things aerated for the coy fish and forgs

Too late. The stargate is already gone.

north of $150,000,000 for all the barges.

The replacement show is awful in comparison, hope they get moving on the new one quickly.

Can’t they just bring back illuminations?

Build a new updated globe, that's all it needed.

Yes, a globe that rivals the stargate ring, but can be collapsed or moved during the day. I'll take that all day!

 

[Dis Dragon]

They just need to cannibalize the taco barges and build out the stargate ring into a huge globe.

 

[Cfabar1]

To be fair, Illumniations was 3 different shows… Anyone know why they discontinued it? Wanted more cross-branding?

I enjoyed epcot forever more than harmonious just for the fact I didn't have to scramble for a spot to squint and look at the barges,

What makes it so bad?

Yea as in every "fireworks only" presentation ever, there is definitely nothing else to look at-so indeed all angles are the same.

I guess dropping from 20 minutes to 12 as a filler show is what it is. Just fireworks only. Was hoping at least for a bigger ending. The shore canons fire twice, harmonious fired them 8 times. Not sure why that alone couldn't have been kept. I don't think the barges affect that. They also used to have jet ski's, but that was kinda hokey anyway.

I really think/hope the new one is more than just fireworks. Have a feeling it's going to be very good.

It really speaks to how unpopular harmonious was that it was discontinued so quickly..... I wish they could bring back all the great stuff they did for the millennium celebration... That was truly a magical time at EPCOT....

My understanding is it was a maintenance issue. The barges just cost too much to keep working.
