Sounds great! River of Lights should go to DAK anyway.
Yea, there's really no good place to put WoC in DAK anyway.

The only way it would work is if they built a stadium for it like they did at DHS for Fantasmic!

Yea, over by CMM would make the most sense, but I'd hate to lose the potential BK pad.

Come on add symba in there with malifacent as the dragon and things like that and it could be really good show.
Some people Just have no imagination(cue figment).

There is plenty of room in the water way between Dinoland & Asia for it, as well as a viewing area. No need for a stadium like F!.

No way, no how. There's not nearly enough room for viewing in that area. Not for a show like this where everyone in the park would be dying to see.

For a nighttime show at DAK, the river makes the most sense. Though I would prefer an illuminated water parade to have something different than any other park, a show like WOC would work as well. (If they would ever turn Camp Minnie Mickie into a new section that allows you to walk all the way around to Africa, there would be plenty of viewing space for a parade).
If it's tied to the river, why not make the nighttime show centered around an under-represented category of animals in DAK - sea life. You could draw from The Little Mermaid, 20,000 Leagues, the Kracken from Pirates, even Willie the Singing whale.

That's the Fantasmic seating overlayed in DAK. The pictures were taken at the same height in Google Earth. As you can see, it could be done, but some modifications would have to be made. The seating area sticks out a little on the left, and would intrude on the walkway by Theater in the Wild, but those little areas could be worked out.
The lagoon area is still large enough to hold a show such as WoC. In my opinion, this would be the perfect place for something like this.

I just think that would be incredibly ugly, and take away from the beautiful view that is the Everest area, IMO.:shrug:

With a line of trees on the backside of the viewing area to block out Dinoland, it wouldn't look too bad. I don't think the seating area nor some form a platform in the water would tarnish the look of Everest.
I was checking out this area in November to see if it would actually be possible, and it would be. The lagoon area is very massive, especially in person. The seating area would have to take up some portion of the lagoon in order for it to fit. I do think as long as it's themed well it would look nice.

My concern with that idea would be the actual water when compared to the lagoon at DCA. I do not think the river at DAK has a poured concrete bottom that I think is needed for the show.
I still do not think WoC is the answer for DAK. :shrug:
Btw, this --->
is hideous. It would be horribly out of place, IMO.

You just gave Joe Rohde a migraine. :lol:
I could see something like that being added to a Mysterious Island type land at the front of the park however.

Could WoC fit into the lake at AK? Yes. Area-wise there is room for the WoC stage and a seating area roughly the size of Fantasmic.
However here are two of the reasons this won't happen:
1- They have no desire to put a giant concrete seating/standing area into the Dinoland/Asia area.
2- They would have to drain the lake, line it with concrete in order to install the infrastructure for the show, then refill it. Then, build some sort of structures behind it for lighting, projectors, etc.
Never gonna happen.

I don't get that. :shrug: Bring in a wholly "Fantasmic-esque" show is fine in a park dedicated to Nature, Animals and Adventure? WALL-E and Alice in Wonderland would clash with the surroundings.
Don't bring over a show just for the tech and the scope.
Because it's good quality. The theme still is a bit off, though.
It's dead. :lol:
It could be brought in if they were to build something. With a lot of water. And an island.

We've been told we weren't getting the caldera, so that's out. Besides, it was going to be BK, in a sense.

Anyway..MSEP!
Think we'll get the original Blue and White Retro color washes for the Castle during the parade? In the pre LED days, that was the only scheme. Love it.
