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

[Soarin' Over Pgh]

Strictly rumor:

On another board, a guest at AK is reporting lots of smoke over the park and that testing for RoL abruptly stopped. A CM selling stuff by the river allegedly said she wondered if something caught fire again (using that word, specifically). Again, rumor.

I hope it's a misinterpretation. I'm not sure I have it in me to wait another year for this thing! Going 4/29 - 5/6.

Interesting.

FYI - just learned that the smoke is from a controlled burn outside of WDW. Nothing of concern.

People are so thirsty for ROL news that smoke from controlled burns spur new rumors... SMH lol

Exactly. If there were a fire in the park the area would be evacuated.

The show moves into a significant phase next week, I would expect something to begin happening very soon.

What is this phase? Previews? Should I plan a trip?!

Interesting, when you press the Rivers of Light page on the Disney World website, you get the whole "Someone ate the page". I've tried multiple times and every time I press it, I get the same thing.

Just checked, it is up and running for me. Although, I wouldnt be shocked to see a modification to the page within a week or two. And like @wdwmagic said, something major with this show will be happening this week, so stay tuned. Oh yeah, and @mnelson3 sonething will happen soon.

AHHH! You're killing me here! What is this SOMETHING MAJOR? Drop a hint....preview?

They've decided to just park all the floats in the water in the same spot all day long with some nice music looped in the background and call it Rivers of Lite.

Either this major thing happening soon is an opening date or they are going to announce that it's been delayed another ten years lmao

 

[Notes from Neverland]

Really curious what the "big news" this week is. My trip falls into this week and next, so I hope it's something good. And I need to remember to check back here to find out what it is/was!

They could always fill in the lake and build a dvc welcome center or better yet some new cabanas

Lol, Well id love to see this thing finally open in February but I feel Disney will probably announce the opening date in a week or two for a March debut.

@Magic Feather Is it correct the only noticeable, for those who say it, thing that was changed from the cast previews is the addition of narration?

There were a few other things, also depending on which round of previews you saw. Second had more effects. Major change wise, yes. Now, I will say that the narraration additions, I know little about (and their magnitude). Also, a few very small things were changed.

Floating lanterns gonna be in the show?

I believe the audio has had quite a lot of alterations since version one. What impact this had on the show, and vice versa, I don't know.
