New nighttime show 'Rivers of Light' confirmed to be coming to Disney's Animal Kingdom

[HouseHacker97]

lol is ROL ever going to start? Also, does Jungle Book and the light show on the TOL play every night? I feel like everyone has already forgotten about it like I (almost) have

I know this is TOTALLY off-topic, but in that advertisement they show a meet and greet with Olaf and Kristoff. Where is that??

 

[Sped2424]

All I want is word of when this is potentially coming.

September is the current target who knows if they will hit it. All I can say is it's a pardon my French poop show behind the scenes.

Lol not here Olaf is but not Kristoff.

Can't help but wonder if we will get the originally intended show by the time it debuts or if a lot will be changed? Seems very odd why it's taking/going to take them months to come up with a solution to a navigation issue...

I just saw the ToL show and loved it for what it is. The people around me seemed to like it as well.

I feel like Disney has given up on rivers of light.

Not at all when most of your show revolves around it.

There is no reason to believe that.

The most glaring issue that I see isn't the nav system- it's the hideous water curtains/projections. In the best conditions, you can barely make out whats going on during this Jungle Book show. They're the worst projections I've ever seen. If there a slight hint of wind or you're at a slight angle, the projections just fall apart even more. What's their plan to solve that mess?

Make it an avant-garde postmodern art spectacular with vaporwave music.

And this is how rumors start.

I thought Olaf & Kristoff were hosting something at the water parks?

I remember the projections looked so clear and good when it previews Rivers Of Light before The Jungle Book showed up. (Then again most of the lights were off)

I know it's Up In The Air but I wonder if the September rumor is more solid/likely than the July rumor was?

I'm still eager to see the boats come across the river for RoL finally premiers. The two silent characters (Aditya and Aseemar) are already interesting since they remind me of Yen Sid who was silent for a very long time but mysterious in the same way.

Those costumes are fantastic.
A shame most will miss seeing the bright colors and elaborate detailing in the dark...or perhaps these two will be spot lit..?

Everything I have heard or learned about this Show has been good.
If everything ends happily, I think this will be a real winner.
Looking forward to the first showings.

It's also refreshing that this is a 'original' production and not a IP based presentation.
So rare these days at WDW, which makes it all the more appealing and special.

Their boats could have light from below illuminating them as they appear.

So when is it supposed to open?

They appear at the opening and closing of each day's Frozen summer games at Blizzard. Pretty sure it's only on the mountain though where guests don't have access.

Sad to hear we won't get to see RoL this July. Guess we'll have to wait for Avatar to open.
