That's certainly a good sign. Hahaha, get it?
Well, there seem to be conflicting clues. I think the change in the calendar still most definitely points to RoL not opening next week. However, perhaps they are pushing for December as opposed to holding off until spring break.
Or, it's always possible that the four fingers aren't talking to the thumb, and the sign people are just putting up the signs as they had planned to, not aware/ not caring that the show has been pushed back again.
I'm prob. overthinking but, I would have liked to see the show title on those FP signs! Does Disney put titles on FP signs, or are they just general?

Maybe they can get MIT to fix it for them. If they can do this a park show should be cake

Well, from what I've read, they haven't gotten the boats up and running yet. But oh, just watch when these orange things are floating around Amsterdam before Disney premieres RoL...
They both use pretty much the same fundamental technology, so if one group gets it to work, the other should be able to as well. Though yes, I agree that this MIT thing looks far more difficult. And therefore, I assume they'll run into a variety of problems that will delay their project too.

Think it means anything?
Maybe, maybe not. Often these kind of things are booked and scheduled well in advance by people and systems that have nothing to do with the actual product.
Think it means anything?
They built the theater like a year early, so putting up signs shouldn't speak to the timeline

Heard some very disheartening news on this show tonight that I haven't had time to chase down, so I'm not stating this as fact BUT ... it appears as if RoL may be DOA. It may require a rethinking and new production in which case you may not be seeing it, or those DAK nights, for a long time.

Holy cow why???
Saw a tweet the other day that said creative was working through SERIOUS issues. Sad, if true. Still too conceptual?

Given the main issue initially was the automated positioning system, are they going back to rethink the barges and add hidden drivers in each one? Or are they still against using tech staff in the show like that. Would be a shame to see this show completely scrapped but if more than half of it still won't work then back to the drawing board makes most sense.

Wow...
This would not surprise me based on the cluster you know what of information I've heard since the beginning of this show. It's already been a disaster and if this actually comes true heads should roll and let's hope SOMETHING can actually give Disney a wake up call
Then again maybe they'll just use the water to rent out private elite tents on barges for $650.

Remember the issues with the water cannons as well and it being difficult to see the projections especially if any wind was involved.
So many design failures with this it's unreal. Is this really the new Disney?
wouldn't be surprised to see them add drones to the show as flying lanterns

I was actually surprised they didn't design the show to use drone lanterns from day one. Could be a very good effect.
