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

Nor I. What will be interesting to see is if it reopens in between shows if there are two or more showings.

I would imagine if they're closing Everest just for sound reasons, and not clearing for fireworks fallout, they shouldn't have to close it too far in advance and it should be very to reopen after the show ends if the park is still open since they aren't having to make sure the area is safe.

When they close the rides surrounding Paradise Bay for World of Color do they reopen following the show? I figured it would be the same for RoL

Personally, I'd be very surprised to see DAK stay open past RoL. I suspect it will have hours like DHS.

Given attendance for the park, I'd expect to see two shows of RoL most of the time.

And of course the Halloween overlay - Rivers of Fright.

More like Frozen River.

Nah that's the christmas version

God forbid a show would be altered to keep the park's top attraction open for guests!

DHS stays open past Fantasmic often and until midnight or later with EMH.

That hasn't been my experience. It usually closes at the same time as Fant! When there is one showing and 30 min before a second showing if one is scheduled (e.g. common summer hours of 9 am to 10 pm with Fant! at 9 pm and 10:30 pm). EMH always keep parks open 2 hours past the final nighttime presentation.

That's so 2009

*cries softly*

I remember that rumor. I was so excited for it.

Leaves will glow, some (not all) are in the process of being replaced. There will be a nighttime show similar to Celebrate the Magic on the tree.

That's what i've heard. That's why they opened up the space in front of the tree - more viewing space.

I wonder if the show will be all around the tree or just in the expanded area in the front?

Im kinda disappointed that Rivers of lights didnt get any mentions at all at D23 from all i heard, the big thing for avatar was the offical name and model with the confirmation of the boat ride and simulator.

It was mentioned in the Parks and Resorts talk.

Idk unless they are still holding back a lot about this show, it sounds a bit underwhelming.. Not as major or as big of a show as WOC. I'm thinking more of a short show, like a Celebrate The Magic/Fantasmic mixture.

Right here.

I think it could just be one of those things that's hard to hype/describe without seeing it.

Rhode is fantastic. I am SO hyped up for Rivers of Light. It sounds perfect. "Ceremonial" in nature. BEST.
