I never compared UOR to WDW by the way. I just wish it wasn't as obvious compared to the old ones.
This doesn't seem to the case this time around, but would it be possible to submersible platforms to replace the barges that could be raised at some point before the show and lowered after the show? Is the lagoon not deep enough? Too expensive? Just not possible? Just curious.
Too expensive. WoC was a massive installation and cost to do that. Plus if they keep the water curtains it’s likely the tech can’t be submersed.
I just want whatever they're doing to be good hahaLike Comcast couldn't spend 100m To do a fountain show... They'd probably find a way to do it much more inexpensively too.

Guess, I'm in the norm, but submerged show equipment has never bothered me...Even the Cinespheres back in the dayCan't argue the added cost minus the water curtains are probably not able to be submerged.
Totally agree! The old barges were butt ugly sitting there all day longI'd rather have them simplified in their look. Bad enough they're a blight on the lagoon's ambiance, but their gaudiness made it even worse. Hopefully they give them an unobtrusive look, better blending in with the lagoon, for the new show. Even a nice "subtle" theming would work better. But I doubt it. They'll probably gussy them up even worse.
:thumbsup:I have always maintained that if they removed central park to expand the lagoon, they would have a more viewable show area...
The lagoon is already a very long, odd shape... what would they need to expand it for?I have always maintained that if they removed central park to expand the lagoon, they would have a more viewable show area...

If anything, I think they should Shrink the Lagoon and make it more rounded. Viewing areas are more obvious/better by doing this and it would also create room for an additional attraction by filling in part of the lagoon and using Central Park if needed.
