I agree it will be nice for viewers, but I hope it isn't too hideous during the daytime.

Will the leaves on the ToL light up at night? I know they replaced all of them and the artist drawings made it look over the top - glow in the dark type lighting.

Those are wonderful in the ride, but I think they'll be using lasers to establish such a large effect on the Tree of Life.

And here I was, thinking that 15 year old tech did a much more impressive job of creating a blaze and sustaining it than DCA's 3 second blast of WOW HOW TALL. lol.

Well 500 gallons of propane can do that.
DCA produces a coherent fireball that is very impressive to see (and feel).
Feed 500 gallons into those, and it will really wow the crowd.

From what we've heard they replaced some of the leaves but not all. ..I believe it will be more of a subtle effect but effective

Yeah, I'm much more impressed at feeling a much larger fireball for about 3 mins than DCA's 3 second thing.

I think DCA shoots 3-5 fireballs (lost count), so it's somewhat longer than "a 3 second thing".

Three. Two in Star Wars, one at the finale. I think.
But they're each about 3 seconds and not in proximity to each other. So, yeah, literally, a flash in the pan. It's impressive, but it doesn't last. Save for a smoke ring that ridiculously hangs about DCA and DL for about an hour afterword.

Photo update as of Tuesday, Aug 25. Behind Flame Tree Barbecue, at the river's edge, the low structures for show support now has "rock work" at the water level.
The primary show support building is getting larger and taller.
The reconfiguration of the old Expedition Everest Fastpass building continues, with a new single story concrete block building now appearing over the construction wall (left side of photo).

I think it will be really cool to watch Rivers of Light while riding Expedition Everest! To the poster that said opening should be in March.......Was this a guess? I have read nothing about that date, but would be excited if it was true!

Steve (@wdwmagic) has mentioned it himself multiple times before and at D23 they did announce a Spring debut so March would seem to jive with that for now.
As a recent comparison for entertainment debuts, Festival of Fantasy debuted on March 6, 2014. With spring break crowds, it makes sense they'd want to debut it for that time frame. At WDW, literally the entirety of March is Spring Break.
and im assuming we see the night safari to open in a similar time frame allowing DAK to stay open a little later...at least 8 maybe 9 o Clock
im really interested in seeing how A. DAK handles the night time crowds and B. how crowded it will be before Pandora opens
probably a good idea these openings are staggered
