New nighttime show 'Rivers of Light' confirmed to be coming to Disney's Animal Kingdom

[Wikkler]

I wonder if the bridge between Asia and Dinoland is going to be popular for people to stop on to watch the show. Can a person see over the sides effectively to watch what is going on in the water?

Yes.

No it's the new AK DVC

dvc... right next to the tree..

Permit filed the other day or Buena Vista Construction (Disney's internal construction company). I assume NTS means Night Time Show. The address was on the permits for the Asia view area. The interesting thing is that the permit has the default 1 year expiration.

AK NTS Completion, 732 Weirke Way - Provide labor, material and/or electrical for construction

I thought the timetable for Rivers of Light to premiere was early 2016. Are the permits in line with this?

Yes, I would say they are.

 

[Cesar R M]

Yes, I would say they are.

Would you say that the "testing" and training phase will require additional time beyond the 2016 timeframe?

We're about a year away.

Guessing they'll ramp up the hype at D23?

 

[danlb_2000]

Would you say that the "testing" and training phase will require additional time beyond the 2016 timeframe?

Yeah, even it they complete construction late this year they will need time into next year to do the programming, testing, training and rehersals if there is a performer element involved.

The date in March is long gone, fall/winter 2015 is about it.

Wow marked me down as surprised that something is actually coming earlier than previously stated lol Or is that a bad thing.

The only bad thing is Disney realizing they have nothing to market in 2015. Now they will by year's end.
