Are the other mortars left over from previous shows (Pre Epcot Forever)?

Thank you for this! You captured the energy of this show perfectly. You and Cliffix always kill it with these things. I gotta say the pyro in this show is just amazing

Interesting, I never noticed this but do you know what these 3 larger mortars on the perimeter sites are used for? Luminous/EF/Harmonious all used the smaller shell size ones.

Agreed. Show doesn't translate as well on camera and it's definitely a show you need to see in person to understand how good it actually is

It's interesting to me because every single time I see it in person I don't mind anything and love the show but when seeing it only on video or YouTube then I see it differently what's missing or not fitting. This is definitely one of the shows you need to see in person to fully embrace it! The fireworks make the show!

I’m all for imagining what could be, but Luminous is getting good enough scores to where it won’t be touched for a while. There are simply higher priorities.

They need to move 6 barges vs one Globe and mini barges.. equal or not once they pass the bridge they are parked at their places so fast! 😱

Great questions .... And I don't want to be rude and ignore your questions, as in general I enjoy your posts a lot, but at the same time I said my peace on this. Thank you.

What costs would it save? What hassle would it avoid other than inconveniencing guests? If cost and hassle were their reasoning why wouldn’t they do it everyday?

Having waited through the process once... I did not notice it being longer. They brought through two large ones and lowered it back. There's was still more to bring out later. But as I said.... The harmonious barges really were not the deal breaker for me they were for so many others so.... Shruggs. I still think they are putting a cost savings and hassles avoidance over safety and show but I am also "it is what it is regardless of what I think" on this one.

Except there were times even with Illuminations that the barges or some of the barges would be left in the lagoon. Although that was far less frequent. The amount of time the bridge needs to be raised for Luminous IS consequentially longer.
