That's the seating area.

This is a good question that we don't have an answer to yet.

It doesn't have to be someone recognizable. I sometimes find that to be distracting (like, I would argue, NPH in World of Color). The only voice I recognize at WDW shows is the guy for IllumiNations, who also voices Pooh. Is the woman for Fantasmic anyone famous?

New video that came out yesterday on youtube, seems to confirm fountains.

We know there will be fountains, but this itself doesn't have the spray of a fountain. My first thought is it looks like the spray from the fire boats that go off in the harbor every holiday. Are there fire floats involved with this show?

It might be some sort of water screen.

would say that it is fresh<read treated> water from the shore and not from a pickup pump offshore

There are at least 3 Large diameter (10 or 12") plastic pipes that were run down the river to an off stage area about a year ago. I noticed them because they were floating for the first month or so after they were installed. They run along the left side (Everest side) of the river. I presume they were filled with water and then mounted to the bottom or side of the river bank.

Yep, Fantasmic uses these...

And notice the telescoping action of those beauties.... If only the could do that with standard show lighting...it must be REALLY hard....

some photos I took. I hope you guys like.

Sadly, was always rushing to get to our attractions, it was packed yesterday!

thats the power of a 600mm lens.

Just a few quick shots of construction. Walking across the bridge from Asia to Dinoland and noticed they had about 4 or 5 squares conveniently cut out in the screening. Peeked through and noticed lots of activity and workers shuffling around. Rock work being done on the building as can be seen in the last pic. Not the best quality but it's from my phone camera.

 

[note2001]

I wonder how often workers like that will try to sneak in their own initials, and if they're reprimanded for it when caught. I know I'd be tempted to add a hidden mickey.

Interesting you can see they've added the lighting also.

Seating seems pretty limited for this show. I guess I was thinking more like Fantasmic. Are their multiple seating locations and/or can the show be viewed from other locations?

 

[JediMasterMatt]

When's the important stuff about this project going to be released? Like what upcharge dining packages will be available?

Yes, the seating are is pretty small. I think I estimated to be about 1/10th of Fantasmic seating. There will be some places on the path around the lagoon where it you can see it, but I am not sure how much space will have a really clear view.

gotta think multiple shows a night
also im wondering if those seating areas will be FP only

Isn't there also going to be a night time parade as well?

There might be some sort of live entertainment in front of the ToL on Discover Island, but I have not heard of any plans for a parade.

There might also be a projection show on the ToL which may or may not be in conjunction with RoL.

As much as I loved watching the Jingle Jungle Parade during the xmas season, the park is just not good for parades. Just too hard to navigate. I can't imagine how bad it would be at night.
