Revision as of 03:26, 11 July 2021
Epcot Forever was a fireworks show that premiered October 1, 2019 at Epcot as an interim replacement for IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth until its long-term replacement HarmonioUS premieres in 2021 and took the form of a celebration of Epcot's musical history. The show celebrated the park's 37-year history, featuring fireworks, music, lighting, lasers, and special effects kites set to new arrangements of music originating from some of the park's classic attractions, such as Journey Into Imagination, Spaceship Earth, Soarin', and Universe of Energy.[1]
The show was originally supposed to end in September of 2020, but ended earlier than planned on March 12, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, following Walt Disney World Resort's reopening, Walt Disney World announced that the show would return on July 1, 2021, with additional pyrotechnics replacing the kites and lasers, as the installation of HarmonioUS's infrastructure made the jetskis pulling the kites unsafe to use in the lagoon.
