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

[tirian]

You actually use three fast passes at DAK?
I mean, I do- but you really only need two with the current setup. Avatar will change that- so this will be an easy third FP+ decision until then if that truly is the case.

It will require a FP like WoC at DCA. I hope WDW wisely chooses to make the FP independent of the others, the same way DCA does it. Otherwise, I'm going to be standing in lines all day because my precious third FP is holding a spot for that show!

With Wishes and Illuminations currently holding you at 3 fast passes I would assume ROL would do the same.

Yeah, I don't see how it'd work logistically otherwise. If it didn't have some opportunity cost to getting the FP+ for the show, they would NEVER be available and the system wouldn't function as intended.

Could there be multiple showings?

 

[danlb_2000]

I see no reason why there wouldn't be multiple showings

Yeah, if they can do two showings of Fantasmic in a night, i don't see why the couldn't do that with this show.

crowd control will be interesting with this

Not really, there are only enough seats for about 10 people.

I am guessing they will open the night safari around the same time to grab some of the crowds but in the early months of these new attractions DAK will be a zoo.

Isn't DAK already a zoo?

I was stating this the other day on here. I don't know who is crunching the numbers for seating but this is going to be a mess lol The only spots I can think of that offer a view are the bridge from asia to dinoland, the seating area with rock work in front of everest, and the flame tree barbecue but that would let you see the back of the show and not the front of it.

Yeah, and I don't see Disney allowing people to camp out on the bridge. As it looks now, the seating for this will be ugly.

Exactly I see the bridge being an area where they will usher folks out of there. I sense a real problem coming I honestly don't know how they thought this would work.

If fantasmic almost always fills up with two showings and an entire stadium with overflow seating I shudder to think what only 2 showings could do for this bare seated nighttime spectacular.

Rivers of light seating area from above on google earth. I highlighted possible areas where you could be outside of the seating and watch? But given the bridge serving as a traffic flow area I doubt that location.

For comparison here is fantasmic's seating including the overflow sections. #uhoh

I would not count on the majority of viewers to be sitting.

how much space does standing save? and again there isn't that much space to stand in the first place.

Nicely done. After seeing this, it makes me wonder if they would build up the sides of the bridge so that people can't see anything from it. That could cause a minor traffic flow problem.
