The stands are starting to take shape. It does look like you can sit or am I imagining things?

I'm pretty sure you'll be able to sit down. I can't imagine that they'll let people stand on 'stairs'...

The Rivers of Light area do look much more stepped compared to World of Color (shown below)

To me, it actually looks pretty similar to this. Sloping on the sides for stairs while the middle has sloping areas and flat areas. Time will tell. I can't see 4000 chairs looking at all attractive in Asia and Dinoland.The Rivers of Light area do look much more stepped compared to World of Color (shown below)

I've that test footage uses a bear running across the lake (I presume on screens) as it runs the water of the lake 'splashes'. Also heard a lot about gps lotus flowers that float across the lake.. not sure if they had fountains in, or just open up. Was told the be scene was done by disney nature and that there will be totum poles used during the show that go behind the screens - with some pretty neat effects as they disappear

Good stuff - it does look like it's going to be a sit down night time show. I wonder if there is a date set to try and have the show up and running?

I assume they told the contractors when to finish...

Maybe it will have themed bleachers
Looks like stadium style bench seating in the steping. I don't think any seats or anything will be bolted to anything.

Is this going to be a water show, fireworks on barges, or combination? If they use water, I'm assuming they'll have tanks to hold clean water to spray- that river water is pretty nasty looking. And, I'm also assuming nothing loud, other than music, so the animals won't be disturbed.

No fireworks. It's ak and that's to loud for the animals.

I cannot wait for Rivers of Light. I picture some awesome Native American type appreciation for animals, Disney style. Epic music, emotional feels.. I cannot wait.

I'm sure there will be seating.....as FastPass+ or Dessert Party hard tickets. The rest of us slobs get to stand around the pathway and try to peek through the over growth. I refuse to use a FP to watch a show. This mind set paid off very well this June at MK when I saw how packed the "privileged standing room" was.

Not that it means much, but Busch Gardens does firework during their food & wine fest, July 4th, NYE, etc.

You're forgetting Busch Gardens Tampa holds fireworks nightly in late June-early August this summer. I think they're actually lit off only 100-125 feet from the Animal Care Center.

Busch gardens doesn't have the same level of scrutiny on it that Disney parks do, especially AK.

People would get over it. Especially if it's only low-level pyro.
