First Harmonious show barge arrives in World Showcase Lagoon at EPCOT

The first of the show platform barges for Harmonious is now out on World Showcase Lagoon.

Crews moved the barge from the backstage marina where the platforms are being built last night and anchored the barge to its platform in the north east quadrant of the lagoon close to Mexico.

In addition to a main central barge, there will be a total of four of these perimeter barges featuring 25′ double sided LCD walls and moving arms.

Each of the massive show barges will remain in the World Showcase Lagoon throughout the day, ending the tradition of IllumiNations where the barges were brought out late in the day each night for showtime.

To help disguise their presence, and to bring some kinetic energy to the lagoon, the platforms will use some of their water effects as part of a daytime fountain show.

When it opens sometime in 2021, “Harmonious” will feature massive floating set pieces, custom-built LED panels, choreographed moving fountains, lights, pyrotechnics, lasers and more.
