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

[GhostHost1000]

The current plan is to arm guests with sprinklers so the show can be more Alive with Magic.

but of course guests will have to buy the sprinklers

Looks like this came from a poster on the disboards.

 

[Rteetz]

The poster also claims that the show has been plussed but that likely the rumors we heard about executives thinking the was too conceptual or whatever is true.

What's that mean to special people like me?

It means it's built to do what was requested.

More local teams can now begin their thing - training, rehearsals etc.

There was a Buena Vista Construction permit filed today for ROL...

Interesting. Thanks for translating for us!

I would assume that means the show will be ready in 30 to 60 days, assuming an aggressive rehearsal schedule.

Welcome. Imagine it like getting the keys to a new house off the builder.

Then you have to decorate and install furniture.

Read someone say this would mean sifts before October... It is one of the (many) proposed timelines, but it is one of (if not the) the least likely ones. Would not bet on it.

Well we know testing has been going on for quite awhile now... So I'm guessing now that RoL is out of WDIs hands, DAK Ops will accelerate the rest of the process, RoL rehearsals, and get it open asap? I'm sure DAK Ops are Very anxious to open RoL!

 

[TTA94]

Soo should we be expecting a Disney Blog announcement soon now that WDI is finished with RoL?

Don't get me wrong there may still be a bit of work to be done on RoL... So that late October time frame could still be the target.

No.

I'd expect one the week before it's due to open and not before.

 

[TTA94]

No.

Eh IDK maybe two weeks in advance. First to announce the opening and say when FPs open up, then the following week the FPs and dining open, then RoL opens the next. This was the similar case with JB.

Now if softs happen then, idk... I guess we shall see how it plays out.

I can't see public softs.

 

[Magic Feather]

I can't see public softs.

Only possible exception is akin to what they did for JB with the day before

It would be interesting if RoL opens on October 9th, the same night MSEP has its finale performance. That would be a difficult decision for some die hard fans to make. Do you see the very first performance of RoL or the finale performance of MSEP, possibly never to be seen again at WDW.

MSEP. ROL will still be there.

Also, to add fuel to the rumor fire, cast rehearsals started back up yesterday.

 

[HauntedMansionFLA]

Thanks currently hyperventilating and might have to leave work early

Your vacation plans are starting to fall into place.

 

[Rteetz]

Just heard Cast Rehersals for RoL will start soon. No word on an exact date.
