Overnight, the first of five enormous floating platforms for EPCOT’s new nighttime show Harmonious was moved into position on World Showcase Lagoon to begin testing of its onboard show equipment. Photos have come our way via Imagineer Zach Riddley on Instagram:
The bridge between China and African Outpost was raised to bring the barge in after park hours last night.
Spaceship Earth and the EPCOT Christmas Tree shine brightly behind the new show platform.
The platforms will apparently be a constant sight around the lagoon, as it was announced a few weeks ago that they’ll be staged during the day for added kinetic energy.
The barge/platform now sits out in World Showcase Lagoon, the first of five that eventually will bring life to the central body of water.
Harmonious was set to debut at EPCOT in 2020, but has been delayed due to the pandemic. It is anticipated that it will now debut as an advertised offering for Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary in 2021.
Looks like the Harmonious Taco barge!
