Rivers of light was in planning before 2008? Wow Disney is slow!

It was originally planned to be a night parade.

It's crazy to me how many different iterations RoL went through before FINALLY opening in its current form all these years later. The concept was completely dead at one point, no?

Almost as slow as you were at responding to a nearly ten year old thread. They beat you by just a couple months, though.

Dangit to put it in perspective I was 6 during the last time this thread was active, now I, going to be a Junior in High School.

Way to make me feel old! I was 21 when this was last active and I'm about to turn 30 in a couple weeks.

And some of the things from this thread are still getting tossed around as potential expansions! Crazy! Too slow lol!

Any idea what it was called at that point? Surely not Rivers of Light.

Pretty sure it was IIRC.

I mean @WDW1974 said Rivers of Light and that was almost ten years ago.

Universal is run by NBC-Universal which is more than a movie company but a lot of stuff ABC and disney does not to mention it's a subsidiary of General Electric.

and Busch Entertainment is more than a company owned by a beer company as well, they aren't as large as Disney or NBC-universal but do a lot in recycling, conservation, and animal rescue as well as educational programs.

Wrong...Universal is run by Comcast...GE owned the NBC networks...they sold it to Comcast...they NEVER had any interest in Universal

Previously it was MCA who ran Universal before Comcast if I am not mistaken.

Also @Figment1986 wrote that post in 2008, before Universal was bought by Comcast. So they were right.

I was in the music business for 20+ years...Universal bought MCA...GE owned NBC...GE never had a interest in Universal...NBC was sold to Universal which was bought by Comcast.

I didn't pay attention to this ancient thread...when it was originally written, GE did own NBC

GE bought Universal from Vivendi in 2003.
