News Disney KiteTails coming to Disney's Animal Kingdom October 1

[RSoxNo1]

I'm guessing this will be a project for Kiteman - the same company that performed the EPCOT Forever kites.

Kiteman Group - Elevating Events, Sparking Imagination

Kiteman Group, LLC is an industry-leading provider of kite show production, design, and custom event rentals.

And Disney only has two Jet Skis. They started at Lights Motors Action, were tabled for a bit before EPCOT Forever and now will be in KiteTails.

There were more than two in Epcot forever

This looks like a magical thing the younger kids will like.

Will the wave runners be parked there all the time when not performing?

Another “ visible during the day” piece of show structure! :-(

Sorry for the bump, but is this still happening? Hearing nothing else about it. We are looking forward to it.

Yes. Definitely still happening. Stay tuned.

Thank you!

Jet skis are already on site for the new show, and I believe the on-stage show dock by Asia is already complete.

Still listed as coming for October 1st, but surprised no times are known considering the rest of the entertainment (except Beacons of Magic) are listed with times.

Would look good for a state fair.

From the day this was announced this is a big fat 0 for me. I guess if you happen to be passing by the area, I'd stop for a minute but this isn't very exciting in the least bit.

Just a cheap way to use a gorgeous theater. I hope they plan something more substantial than this in the long-term.

 

[James Alucobond]

I'm all for more low tech shows, this one doesn't seem like it needs seating though and should be more like a spontaneous thing that goes on.

They said several times a day, so given Animal Kingdom's operating hours, it should be quite frequent.

New video -

Someone gave the Imagineering intern a $562 budget.

That’s a bit harsh, of course, but this would be a nice, minor feature to a much larger show. It feels like the golden lawn ornaments - a cute sideshow forced to be the sole attraction in the center ring.
