Animal Kingdom night show

Hey, just thought I would see what you guys thought of this concept I've been working on. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
MK gets Wishes, Epcot Iluminations, DHS Fantasmic, and now new to DAK The Circle of Life. A new night show that could be viewed from either dinoland usa, or discovery island (to support the crowds) its a mix of world of color, illuminations (- the fireworks), something similar to the electric light boats that happen at night near the MK hotels and a variety of other techniques. a new draw bridge would be built between dinoland usa and asia to cut off access to the animals from that point and to allow the light boats and effects barges to come through and prepare the show (i looked on google earth and this is currently where they are storing boats right behing the nemo theater so it works out perfectly). the animals from oasis and discovery island trails would all be brought in a little bit early on the 3 nights a week they do the show as to not be annoyed by the noise from people and the show itself, it would only broadcast from speakers in the oasis and dino land areas again with the animals best interest in mind. There would be water jets firing huge blasts in the air, projections of famous disney animal movies on mist screens and animals in the wild starting and finishing with the beautiful music from the lion kings circle of life with other Disney classic music and high tempo pieces in between. a wonderful end to the day in my opinion and the answer to all our problems for a night show for DAK. The two biggest attractions everest and kilimanjaro will close down prior to this but they will remain open for that crucial 30 mins to an hour longer then they normally would be allowing for that last minute ride. staff would then usher people away from those areas of the park with animals, cutting off access to them via security fences and personnel. The park closes approx 30 mins after the show still giving it a reasonably early closing time but not as early as before, essentially an hour to an hour and a half after dark. The animals are protected, a great show happens, and it keeps people in Animal Kingdom longer. Seems like a win win.

Cool concept! I agree that a mixed-media presentation is AK's best bet for night entertainment at this point, without building a whole Fantasmic-style stadium outside the park's current borders (and to me, that seems like a very un-Animal Kingdom-like idea). A Tokyo DisneySea-esque show featuring floats, lights, and fountain works would probably combine very nicely for Animal Kingdom, especially if it were spread out enough that people could watch from a variety of locations (like fireworks or Illuminations).

I love the idea of combining all the concepts of basicly every disney night show. The only problem I have is NO FIREWORKS. When I stay at the Boardwalk, the fireworks almost every night keeps me up from Illuminations, with the occational Fantasmic. I don't think that would be good for the animals' routine they go through to get ready for the park opening next morning. I do agree though if you would put fireworks, only do it 3 nights a week. Anyway, awesome idea!
