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

[Disney Analyst]

Just a meme expressing my excitement that the show is finally open. We made it through the long waiting period, I'm so happy I could cry

Yeesh, is it just us Gaga fans that don't need an explanation for that meme? Hah. I'm excited too!

So... is the show tonight any different from the version they had earlier this week? Maybe shorter? Maybe longer?

Probably identical to last weekend.

We waited 5 long years for this day to finally come.

Nine, if you include the parade this show morphed from.

Many many moons ago yes.

Can't wait to see it! Have a trip booked for the end of March, it's gonna be torturous waiting that long, cause I'm not watching it on YouTube. I want my first showingto be in person!

Speaking of which, it would be nice if we got a new daytime parade for the park.

What I'd do is have a daytime lagoon show inspired by Beastly Kingdom and DisneySea's old Legend of Mythica show.

I was a little underwhelmed when I first watched, but the more videos I watch, the more I enjoy and appreciate it. There are a lot of subtle details that you start to pick up on, and the whole pageantry of it is so fluid and gorgeous. Still think the lanterns and additional fire for the finale would bring it up a notch, but that's relatively minor. Bravo to the Rivers of Light team for putting together a nighttime show worthy of Animal Kingdom.

How many hours left until ROL officially debuts to the public? I hope somebody has got there video camera ready.

Hopefully Disney or YT or something won't block the videos tonight! Hopefully no restarts as well

Yup. Someone said stand-by for the 7:15 show was closed off at around 6:40

I wonder what's the problem with the fire tower... it never seems to work perfectly (apart from that, the show ran smoothly and was really great!)
