The music is the only aspect of ROL that was entirely successful

Agreed. I'd hope that was a sarcastic post above, as none of those suggestions make sense to me.

I am not quite sure what the show needs...but it definitely feels lacking. Maybe if they incorporated more of the original show with the Shamans..it just feels incredibly repetitive.... same thing over and over ...and it really needs a big wow finale...that just sadly isn't there... Could they use something akin to the fountain barges they use in BraviSEAmo ...to have a water spirit rise from the lake? Someting that is not the lotus flower fountains over and over....

The music is fantastic. The floats are very nice as well. The idea of this type of show is beautiful but it definitely needs work. I don't think inserting characters is what it needs but I suppose I could put up with a nicely done montage if they insist on it, but not the entire show.

No fountains at all? Bummer lol.
No intended similarity to RoL. Or WoC.

Yup. Found myself whistling that tune just a little while ago!

Just saw ROL for the first time Wednesday night. For Animal Kingdom, the show is perfect, I feel it was a bit too rushed and a lot more could have been done, the fire totem effect at the end wasn't working though so (I guess) it gives me a reason to go see it again (maybe.) Overall I'd give the show a B+.

I would think we could see the first drone heavy in-park show. I know they were working on/patenting drones carrying projection surfaces that they coukd project onto and I know they have been working on projecting onto moving surfaces for Fantastic 2.0. Could be neat seeing the flags of various nations or images similar to what is seen on the globe flying around the lagoon.

It would have to be paid for by the tenants and, given the high costs that Disney presumably already charges, they probably wouldn't be happy with the added expense. Especially unless it would be shown to clearly increase revenues for the stores/restaurants -- I wouldn't be surprised if such a show would simply cause more people to hang out and window shop but not necessarily buy much more.
Who shouldered the cost for the holiday drone show? Disney or the third parties?
I tend to feel that something more simple than WoC, like just a fountain show synched to music (think Bellagio fountains but perhaps a smaller scale) going off every hour or so would be a nice fit. Not quite at the level of a grand nighttime show, but some entertainment to entice people to the area.

10:30 show had to restart tonight. Then was cancelled

Interesting.
I'm surprised how few restarts or cancellations there appear to have been (as very few have been reported on here) since the show premiered.
Just had a message from a work colleague. Normal, average tourist / Orlando fan:
"Saw it last night. Pretty uneventful. Boats were slow and boring, seen water jets before, couldn't really hear the music lyrics.
15 minutes of not a lot after an hours wait.
Won't be rushing back.
Automated boats?? All they did was drive in and go in a slow circle. Might as well be anchored off in the middle!"
"Waste of effort in my opinion.
And as for the pathetic flame effects......resembled a cigarette lighter flame "

Thanks. I look forward to making my own opinion the week of 9/17.
Funny you should say that.

The first 2 times I saw it, I saw it from the back of the theatre or outside the theatre. I felt it was lacking but I loved the feeling of the show.
Next time I went to a 10:30 show and sat in the very front row off to the right side. Loved it. There's a lot of really unique stuff happenig that I totally missed from further back.
Im not saying the show is perfect... It needs more wow factor for sure.

And why would that be? Hopefully, the show isn't taken down for refurb. I have a breakfast ADR at Tusker House for a VIP ticket that week.

Had a couple of friends see it last week. They loved it. BUT they're also the type of people that think Disney does nothing wrong.
I feel like the 15 minutes I watched on YouTube was a waste of time. It looks boring. At least the music is good though. I'll see it eventually. It'll probably be gone before I have a chance honestly. Too bad they didn't utilize the tech for a better show.
