Continuing our earlier saga about a mysterious tent in World Showcase Plaza back in February, there is now a full suite of tents in the same location ahead of what is expected to be extensive overnight testing of Harmonious show elements.
Here’s a look at the setup as we observed on a recent visit to EPCOT.
It looks like cables are being run between the tents, but no show control equipment has arrived…yet.
When we last spotted tents in this area earlier this year, only two of the LED barges were installed on World Showcase Lagoon. Now, the full armada of equipment is installed and a more robust test of show elements can occur.
“Harmonious” will bring to World Showcase Lagoon an innovative toolkit of massive floating set pieces that house a variety of show effects, including custom-built LED panels, choreographed moving fountains, colorful lights, lasers, pyrotechnics and more.
The collective of the barges is referred to as the “compass”, with the center having a “great gravity screen” that is surrounded by four other barges that have giant LED screens as seen in the concept art below.
The show promises to be a beautifully crafted nighttime dreamscape of Disney music and images, reimagined by diverse cultural musicians and artists from around the world. It’s a transformative experience, where we can discover how Disney music has the power to inspire and unite us all. You can catch an early glimpse of concepts for the show now by visiting Walt Disney Imagineering Presents the Epcot Experience, located in the Odyssey Events Pavilion.
Harmonious will debut October 1, 2021 at EPCOT.
