Surpassing all Disney water productions, “World of Color” will bring Disney animation to life with powerful fountains that become stars of the show as they create the world’s largest projected water screen.</span></p>

Of course budget and money are always a factor, and construction has already taken half a year.

More like "enhanced technology" at best. What exactly is innovative about water fountains creating a projection screen? Been there, done that.
