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

@marni1971 Have you heard anything yet how they were able to overcome the navigation system issues and keep the floats from moving off course due to any type of wind and water current?

This probably has nothing to do with Rivers of Light, but yesterday Bob Weis tweeted something about being on Delta Airlines, and now Joe Rhode posted a pic on Insta about naked mole rats. It looks to be the mole rat exhibit that's in AK.....

Those mole rats should put their big pants on! Running around naked as a jay bird... That's not right! Your father doesn't run around naked as a jay bird!

First step before any softs will be a CM preview correct? Which I'm assume has yet to happen.

If one is to believe the rusty scupper on the disboards (which sometimes who knows if he is being honest or not) he is a CM and has seen the show so...

Didn't they have previews back in the spring?

 

[prfctlyximprct]

I believe they did for Jungle Book: Alive With Magic

I could have sworn it was rivers of light as well! Lemme go stalk

So I'm not really sure what it was but I knew something happened back in April

From back in April:

Tonight's media preview seems to confirm there are issues with the barges moving. Everything is static, with only the four lotus flower barges on stage.

They had a very short media preview.

Read somewhere there's a dress rehearsal tomorrow, dk if it's true it was forever ago and I can't find where I read it... I think he's probably peek a booing at avatar but who knows

 

[prfctlyximprct]

He's not on his way to Orlando which makes me think it's avatar related

Joe Rohde is the man responsible for Animal Kingdom. He is one of the most famous imagineers and my favorite imagineer. The other guy is also an imagineer working on rivers of light but not nearly as famous.

Thanks! Makes sense now.

I have heard there will be a 3 day media event the week of IAAPA for WDW. There are bringing in media from around the country. Which could be a sign about how much attendance and booking are off. But gotta believe they wouldn't be doing this just for the new DHS holiday show.

That would be November 14th through the 18th... Goes along with @marni1971s time frame and my guess that the weekend of the 18th would be the big RoL hoopla
