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

This person has a fancy check my their name does it mean anything?

Sandra is the Orlando sentinel theme parks reporter. The check mark means she is verified by Twitter which a lot of celebrities, reporters, etc. have.

I believe she is who a small contingent of posters refer to as "Soup and Salad" Sandra, because we are in middle school and people we don't approve of need to have juvenile nicknames apparently.

Has it been confirmed that they are not going to do the Tree of Life show after September 5th? How about the night safari?

Disney tells us (News 6 - WKMG) both the Night Safari & Awakenings shows will continue indefinitely. Reading between the lines -- hours will be adjusted again based on when ROL is ready.

 

[kpilcher]

I wonder if these news outlets are doing any other research than "the park's website says".

Some of us do.

Tell that to PETA...

In all seriousness, it sucks that PETA and other organizations were successful in ruining seaworld's public relations and ended their whale breeding program. I really hope they won't target a park like Animal kingdom.

PETA was protesting AK since before it opened in 1998, but it fizzled out within a year or two after opening.

Just wait until some former disgruntle CM makes a "documentary" about the place and I am sure PETA will be at the gates once again.

I remember the water projection was easier to see for the preview of ROL months ago before Jungle Book was set.

Back when Jungle Book premiered I think the general consensus on here was that the projection issues were because Rivers of Light was using custom-created bright graphics and video, whereas JB was stuck using the existing footage from the movie, which was comparatively dark.

I'm surprised PETA wasn't thinking about AK.

The middle school thing - pretty much nails it.

The Trump-esque nickname came from WDW1974. Wait a minute, is WDW1974 Donald Trump?

She is a "journalist" for the Orlando Sentinel whose job is to cover Disney (or maybe the Orlando parks in general) but does the absolute least in her coverage.

Annnnnnddd I'll just put this here...

Anyone think it's likely they will want RoL open by October 9th in hopes of it drowning out the fact MSEP is leaving?

There is some real possibility of that.

There is some real possibility of that.

Would the following week be better? Esp. if FOF or anything else, doesn't fill in for MSEP? IDK how many people you would deter from MK on MSEP's Final Weekend.

I wonder how much of the show has changed compaired to what it was originally going to be? Hopefully all good changes and no cuts.

Agreed. I listened to a snippet of the music once when I was feeling weak, and it sounded so beautiful! It's torture waiting on something you don't know will come!

According to your countdown clock, Your getting pretty close to your 60 day mark. Hopefully you get some good news soon.

I'm convinced there's no one more excited for this show than you. And hey, that's okay! I'm the same way with Disneyland's Fantasmic.

I really hope the music remains unchanged. Unlike the original version of World Of Color before its premiere.

I seriously hadn't heard a show score this good at WDW since Illuminations at Epcot.

That's what I'm worried the most about.
