Hmmm...
Looks to me to be yet another "video screen" attraction.

Meh, I'm starting to have my doubts about this when the main focus of the concept art is the lighting. :lookaroun

Possibly, but why would you have par cans in the concept art. Par cans would suggest live or AA performance.
I really don't see where the lighting is the main focus .:veryconfu

not everything can be a ride. Some people like shows just as much as rides. Plus...it was a show before...so it's not like you're loosing a ride to a show. It's an equal trade off.I wish it were a ride

Count all of the lighting fixtures. Include the stars gobos. About 25 including those covered by the watermark in the left hand corner of the image. I can see how the light will be important to the story perhaps since laughter powers those lights, but overkill is the word here... I mean they draw concept art of the setting, but reuse animation from the movie? What's the real focus for this piece of art? Not the story, apparently.

Hmmm... not too excited by the art either. I know I've been negative about this from the get-go, but I tried to be open minded when I looked at the concept art, and I'm afraid I'm not that impressed. I will reserve complete judgement of the whole thing when it opens ofcourse. But for now, it looks like we may have a new SGE on our hands.

Yep...that's been known for a while -- similar to Turtle Talk. And really looking forward to seeing it!
This doesn't appear to be "concept art" at all to me. Looks more like a teaser image. The OP didn't give a link, but I'm betting the context of the image is part of a teaser area for the new attraction.
Whether teaser or concept, the lights are not the focus. As with any "stage" show... there's dozens of lights used in a production. They appear to be placed as part of normal stage lighting.

Why?
You know NOTHING about the attraction... pre-judged it from day one... and you have NEVER been open minded about it. There's absolutely no reason to think it's going to be a bad attraction.

It's like showing the machines used to create the Finding Nemo characters in the Living Seas or Sub Lagoon for concept art. I don't think the majority of park guests walk out of an attraction and have a discussion about how amazing the lighting was. It's the story and if they're going to release a design based image like that about a show, I can only assume that the focus so far has been on the design. JMHO though, nothing screams excitement than knowing that the theater will be properly lit with stage lighting.

Last time I checked, stage shows HAVE LIGHTING. Don't people always complain about "budget cuts" and lack of "theming"? This concept art shows a pretty good rendering of a stage. I can't wait to see this attraction.

Have you seen Monster's Inc? You do realize the movie is about producing energy... lights need energy and it will be made with laughs. Mike is at the top right with some "holding mechanism" and appears to be turning on some lights. Appears to me that the focus is exactly what the focus of the movie was about... creating and using energy.
It's simply a picture... nothing to be so negative about.

SO FAR I don't like it. Even if I had liked the concept of the attraction in the first place, I still probably wouldn't be that excited of the concept art. I still could be proven wrong, the ride could be great, but from what I'm seeing, I'm not too wild about it.

There is plenty of reason to think its going to be a bad attraction especially since it looks to be following the footsteps of Stitch's Great Escape. Even the damn logo looks the same!

I think it looks like a great concept and attraction, but in ENTIRELY the wrong location. Both the connection (i.e. lack thereof that is becoming more and more aparent) to TL and the proximity to SGE say that to me. I think this would have been a spectacular replacement for Sounds Dangerous.
