A New World Fantasy at EPCOT Center by Martin

by on Mar.01, 2025, under Epcot, Parades and Fireworks, Walt Disney World

Finally, a large piece of the Epcot night time show history is answered. Here for the first time – in full – is the second regular night show the park held, which I don’t believe is available anywhere else. Building upon the previous short lived Carnival de Lumiere, and featuring 4 fountain and firework barges, 2 80x30ft floating rear projection screens and almost 700 firework shells, this show may appear crude today but was a huge technical milestone in the summer of 1983 and was subsequently built upon for Laserphonic Fantasy, the IllumiNations series and beyond.  This is a show from December 1983, and whilst the 2 angle video quality is of its time I’ve cleaned it up somewhat to offer a fascinating look into a large part of the park’s entertainment history.
