When we were at Epcot early this month (Feb. 4, 2006) the IllumiNations "Inferno Barge" (that produces the BIG FIRE effects at the beginning of the show) was still out-of-service due to an unintended EXPLOSION earlier in the season (I don't think anyone was hurt, but it did put the barge out of commission).

I talked to a CM who works on the show and he said that it was SUPPOSED to have been back in the show THAT WEEK, but they had found ADDITIONAL problems when they examined/tested it at that time.

Well, its 2 weeks later.

Is it back in the show, getting everything "fired-up" again?
 
It is a part of the show again! It made its first offical appearance in the Feb 1st ROE and I know there was a few days that it was not part of the show its first week back.

We were there on Feb 1, 2006 and saw Illuminations for the first time ever. The BARGE was there all lite up. Looked AWESOME!! Very thrilling. pixiedust:
