I asked her about the 20 minute time frame, and she said it's definitely shorter than that but didn't give a specific time. We could be looking at a 12 minute show. I can't see it being much less than that.

I can handle the hair bands. It's a sea of bubble gum that makes me sick when riding a rollercoaster.

Unless the cuts slashed, last I heard, RoL will scratch just under 20 ex 18-19 or maybe hit just over. 22 min is the WDW standard show length.

Good to know. Maybe she didn't see the entire show and only part of it? I'm just reporting what she told me.
makes since
why build a nice themed theater for a 12 min show
No it's much closer to 20.

Everything the Light Touches
Eastern festival traditions merge with innovative technology to make Rivers of Light come alive. Featuring evocative, never-before-seen footage from Disneynature, grand theatrical imagery, virtuosic live performances, a soaring original score, and innovative special effects—this nighttime show employs a host of magical devices to create an experience unlike any other.
Fireflies in Flight
The flickering ornamentation of fireflies illustrates the migration of light—a central motif of the production. As the story unfolds, original video projections and choreographed laser animation combine to create the appearance of glowing fireflies, illuminating enchanting moments of the celebration like living pixie dust.
Spirited Storytelling
Mysteriously, the show’s “storytellers” never utter a word. Instead, they communicate volumes through fascinating forms of authentic Asian dance, music, song and shadow puppetry.
Light, Lanterns and Lotuses
Showstopping features include nearly 100 Asian lanterns, undulating hues of larger-than-life animal spirits and floating vessels awash in brilliant radiance. Powerful fountain jets erupting like embers from a fire and a 28-foot-tall Temple Lotus add to the visual splendor of these elements, each magically drifting into scenes—adding color, drama, shape and choreography.
A Living Landscape
Encircling the very heart of the Discovery River Lagoon and her 2 village amphitheaters is the thick embrace of a lush tree-scape. It is host and home to a unique variety of life, both in body and spirit form. This organic landscape is a central character itself, and an ever-changing canvas for the story’s unveiling.
12 minutes ain't enough! I WANT MORE!!!

After reading your comment I clicked on Page 1.
This thread started in 2013!! Wow. Thanks to everyone posting updates without making someone like me go back and read 300+ pages!. Has anyone here actually been on this thread since the beginning?

If she saw 12 minutes, she didn't see the whole show. Not that it's impossible that they did a dress rehearsal of only a portion of the show.

Any insight on how many shows per night? Two to three?

Was in the park today, closed out the park riding Everest. Walking toward Anandapur we saw that both boats were lit up at their docking spots with a tech crew member standing on the one closest to us. Stood there watching for a couple minutes, but the boat never moved and it just ran through a few color change cues.
No other barges were seen out on the water.

I apologize for derailing the thread folks! I'm not interested in semantics, feel free to PM me.
Also I am pretty excited for this show, it looks like it is coming together!
my guess is 3 shows per night in the summer, spring break, Christmas
two shows per night all other times of year

More or less, except a few more occurrences of threes.
