Have you heard what tech issues they are having?
Nothing specific, other than they are way behind where they wanted to be by now due to a number of tech issues.
This is why you are seeing show schedule yet and a ton of daytime testing which they obviously would have preferred not to have done (none of this stuff should be seen in daylight).
Absolutely. It's akin to riding with the lights on.

Maybe the 22nd official opening will turn into a soft opening/not fully ready show lol. I don't know if they would actually push off the opening date all together.

It's interesting that there is a dock connected right to the seating area.

Is it possible the actors in the show might be be interacting with the crowd and then getting on one of those boats?
I would assume for the show to go from land to a boat on the water. Maybe a couple shamans are on land in front of the seating area and then get onto the boats to take the story to the lake. I guess sort of like the Indians in Fantasmic.

I think that's exactly what they said in the Q&A session.
Interesting, keep us updated, are they finding solutions? Are they having problem with the main lotus/tower? We have not seen that one out testing.
Maybe ROL shouldn't be seen in Daylight, but it gets people talking/excited!
Is TOL and Safaris all set to go? Will they start if ROL is delayed?(Don't know what WDW would say if ROL is delayed!) or does everything have to wait for ROL?
I think I saw on DIS that Tiffins is behind. Or are they just behind because of ROL?

I think that they'll want to roll all of the new experiences out together as a kind of phase 1 of the dak expansion. Just my opinion though

Yes, but when all someone posts are the negatives, be they real or perceived, without mentioning the good things, one starts to assume there is some kind of agenda being pushed. Of course that knife cuts both ways.

Dear god, such gorgeous detail on the ASIA side!
that control tower and surrounding areas!
Wishing they could really fix these eyesores in the Nemo side
Also, speaking of lights...
Were lights installed on discovery islands as well? I see some "plastic green" near tusker Where the last photo was taken from.

The same could be said of the opposite. (aka a paid guy or having special interests in never seeing Disney take any bad light) I mean We've had these guys who defend disney 24/7 like they are paid guys.

I wish someone took a pic of the lotus flower going under the bridge so we could see what's inside ;-)
Is there a chance they hid a few fountain jets and or lights under the water? I almost remember during construction they had a row of black tubeing in front of the viewing areas... But that could have been for electrical.

Unfortunately the Nemo show side is perfectly themed

They have all of the GPS antennas out on the floats, I especially like the recycling bin mount
It seems that either they're trying to program them more accurately or when they are mounted inside of the floats they are having issues.
The main lantern boat has its two GPS antennas mounted to the top mast, they probably should have figured out a better mounting plan with the floats to have them exposed but themed, Unless they use boosters. I can imagine with all of the Projection, lighting, laser, control hardware, all of the power and data being transmitted each way that there is a ton of electrical "noise"
Also on the Elephant float coming under the bridge, it looked like there was data or DMX (lighting) control splitters going to each of the sections of that float, exposed almost as if something internal didn't fly and they did a quick patch to see why.. or if this version worked better.
Ohh the stress of being a show programmer on this show, Quick cover my $80k MA console with a tarp....
