Disappointing. But no final judgments until the entire thing comes together.

'for the summer...'

I REALLY hope the interim show is not around all the way to the fall.

WDWMAGIC was fully right
Could an interim show open ahead of Rivers of Light at Disney's Animal Kingdom?

Good work Steve!

I hope this doesn't mean the demise of rivers of light

So I guess no RoL until at least the fall?

I don't think they would go to the trouble of previewing it if they were not dedicated to the show. That being said, having an interim show could mean that they take their bloody time with it - which I hope does not happen.

Lets keep this thread for Rivers of Light. The interim show has a dedicated thread at: Interim show 'The Jungle Book: Alive with Magic' confirmed to debut ahead of Rivers of Light

Thanks

Oh My Disney posted a few video previews on Snapchat if anyone saw them.

The preview didn't amount to much more than some projections and fountain effects. It seems this show has a long way to go before being ready, perhaps both creatively and technically.

That's my point though, why preview it if they are intending on scrapping it all together due to technical/creative issues. They seem dedicated to rolling it out - just depending on time now. Either way, the whole thing is a mess.

Because they are not scrapping it, people are just prematurely freaking out.

Oh I'm sure they will see it through. We may never know what doesn't make it into the final show, but I would be confident we will get Rivers of Light.

I know, that's what I was referencing. I have no doubt that this show will debut, it's just a matter of when, and the new Jungle Book show gives them the excuse to take their time with it.

I am confident as well, that's why my original post was trying to reiterate that people should not be jumping to conclusions about it, such as thinking it will never debut.

"We are one." Isn't that a song from Lion King 2?
