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

[johnny johnston]

Just imagine what this show could be with an investment of $150,000 with off the shelf technology like installed multi color fountains such as seaworld and universal use. I also think a couple flame throwers would add to this show greatly as well

I'm not sure $150,000 would go very far

As much as RoL needs improvements the budget needs to go for other things first at the moment, RoE, definitely F! asap, MK nighttime parade also asap! Lol

Bin this show and replace it with World Of Color East. There's no shame in admitting this was a failure. There's also no shame in copying a successful show from the West coast and throwing it in here.

How would World of Color possibly fit into Animal Kingdom?

As many have said, the World of Color technology requires a 'swimming pool' and not a untreated body of water to operate.

That would pay for three port-o-potties outside Everest.

Okay, that's very easy to take care of. Just section off some of the water with hidden walls, treat it, boom.

DAK might be iffy, but not World Showcase Lagoon lol Imagine that entire lagoon full of fountains! or most of it. I know they would require a boat route. Idk what's being pitched for the RoE upgrade but hopefully it includes a lot of fountains, mist screens, flame throwers, etc.

Actually, I could see World Of Color working at Downtown Disney.

Well I think that was the plan at one point.

Still a possibility?

No.

But there is shame replacing RoL with a gorified IP clip show.

But there is shame replacing RoL with a gorified IP clip show.

And that's probably what any replacement would be

 

[TTA94]

No.

Well if WDW goes ahead with the plans to ruin Epcot with Disney characters then they could put WoC in the World Showcase Lagoon.

 

[djkidkaz]

I feel like adding some sort of WoC night time show to Disney Springs would bring in a heck of a lot of traffic and revenue. Obviously there is no cost to get into Springs but the return from the increased guest traffic of people who would make it dinner and a show, etc. shame it never happened.

Just saw RoL for the first time. I don't think Disney characters would ruin this show at all. It would be greatly enhanced if the water screens worked as well as they do in Fantasmic. We honestly couldn't tell what was being projected during most of the show. The musical score needs major work. Whatever story line there might have been was just disappointing and instantly forgettable. Just incorporate sections of Tarzan and, or Jungle Book, and the audience will leave the amphitheater humming a happy tune!!

No.

So basically what's being planned for Illuminations is similar to RoL, fountain wise with 4, maybe 5 barges?
