What was the point of this thread.

Not even remotely new. Disney confirmed this months ago.

Horizons is also closing.

I guess if I had posted a photo of the barges on the scrap trailer going down I4... Everyone would have been like "OMG"

Visuals do help.

wow really? I fully expected the hardware to be repurposed.

It should just be being removed from the water and taken to an outdoor location still within the park.

 

[cjkeating]

wow really? I fully expected the hardware to be repurposed.

I even expected some of the floats to be reused in whatever takes over from RoL.

I dont see why they wouldnt just parade the floats around at night time and just let poeple watch them from the seating area with background music at their leisure.

If they put those animals floats in the dumpster...I mean...come on now.

This is one of those threads where a glossary of abbreviations and acronyms might come in handy for those of us who have no idea what ROL is.

Will there be a new show of some sorts?

However, ROL isn't there - it stands for Rivers of Light.

One day...

Wow, that's really sad. I was originally really excited for this show, and never got to see it. I know it wasn't everyone's favorite, but it seemed really magical. I was holding off watching it on youtube, so I could see it in person for the first time, but I guess that's my only option now.

At least ROL will be in the history books as the shortest nighttime spectacular for Disney.

The joke is how its kinda cohesive then turns in Aladdin

Yeah I realized about that show too. I quickly deleted it but you're quick to answer. Well, one of then...

In February, we had a dessert party for HEA with my parents as a surprised 50th anniversary gift. That night there was high winds, and they announced that no fireworks would commence. We ended up staying a few minutes and bailed.

The next day we were scheduled to do RoL. Even had the vouchers from a Tusker House dinner. I made a gut call to park hop to MK so my parents could see the full show of HEA.

It was the right move, but it turned out that was the last opportunity to see RoL.

YouTube it is...

ROL. It was pretty to look at, but for 20 minutes you're waiting for something exciting or meaningful to happen, but you're left wanting by the end. A beautiful, yet hollow, show.

It was nice to look at on the EE lift hill

Rivers of Light may be gone, but that doesn't mean a new replacement isn't in the works. All that time spent building all the seating etc for a night time show won't just be put to waste. I'm pretty sure something will come along... eventually...
