Well was there any Disney film set in Brazil to fit in the fireworks show?
No, there is no Disney movie set in Brazil. "Saludos Amigos" and "The Three Caballeros" are PARTIALLY set in Brazil, but not entirely. And they never were referenced in fireworks shows, I don't think.

Emperor's New Groove is set in Brazil.

Fantasy version of Peru actually. It is South America though. But I'm not sure @mharrington is too worried about fireworks yet

I am starting to work on the fireworks show in my park and honestly don't have a ton of ideas. So, if you're itching to brainstorm a fireworks show, you can feel free to PM me or head over to Pi's Disneyland.
I'm not sure Mharrington and MEW are doing nighttime stuff yet, but you seem excited for that part and I could use the help
Not yet I'm not, and when I do, it will probably not be outright duplicates of the shows in Paris or Shanghai.
Anyway, as I mentioned before, another ride in this park's Adventureland is called "Expedição do Rio Aventura", or Adventure River Expedition, which is a mashing together of the Jungle Cruise, the Rivers of Adventure, Tokyo's Western River Railroad, and the numerous river rapids cropping up at the parks lately (with a bit of Tokyo DisneySea's Raging Spirits put in for good measure). As such, it is one of the longest river rapids rides ever in any park at all. The time length is about the same as, or even longer than, the Jurassic Park rapids ride at the Universal park in Singapore.
Expedição do Rio Aventura is a white-knuckle adventure where guests float along a raging river. They first start out in a pool of elephants similar to other versions of the Jungle Cruise out there, with a baby Indian elephant playing in the water with its mother, and another elephant using a waterfall to shower, but at the end of this area, a bull elephant submerged in the water rises up and not only attempts to squirt at the raft (and may actually succeed in doing so this time), but also accidentally bumping the raft off its intended course.
From there, the rafts run through an ancient temple home to two feuding gods, one representing fire and the other representing water, and they don't take kindly to strangers entering their domain, especially those who seek the treasures they guard. This darkened room is full of riches, but the guests don't have time for them, given the swiftly-moving river and the gods bombarding with fire and water. Guests thankfully don't get burned by the fire god, but they're usually not so lucky against the dousing of the water god. In addition, guests also have an encounter with spiders and a jaguar poised to pounce.
That's all I have for right now. What do you think so far?

Hi mharrington, nice work!
Wonderfull brainstorming you started. I’d like to add some fuel into the fire but as English is not my primary language I apologize in early for several mistakes I’ll make.
* Curitiba it’s a great city, a bit rainy but It’s people are one of the most polite in the country and, as a bonus, is near of Paranaguá port. In the past the city used to have a nostalgic train ride trough the rain forest connecting the city to the port. (Google for “curitiba to morretes train” images)
* Dream Street it’s a good choice since the word “whimsical” it’s pretty difficult to Brazilians to pronounce
* Brazilians do like collored stuff, so make the Dream Street a whimsical and happy explosion of color (see artists like OsGemeos / Eduardo Kobra). They also love to color rustic houses as you can see in this TV show: <https://www.pinterest.com/victoriafifi/meu-pedacinho-de-chão/> or at turistic points like "Bahia's Pelourinho".
* Some mild attraction during the train ride would be great - Maybe one fun Night Beach Party inside of a tunnel (with A.A. Donald, José Carioca and others… Maybe stolen from EPCOT's Mexico pavillon ;-)). There is a LOT of amazing beaches in Brazil and this tunnel could be a magical passage to one of them.
* Soarin' (with a different closing, set in Rio de Janeiro) - Great! People love to go to “pedra bonita” to a Hang gliding ride. I’d add scenes of the warm “Lençóis Maranhenses National Park”
* Character meet-n-greed can also have the Aracuan crazy bird from "The clown of jungle"
* Jungle Cruise and the Rivers of America together it’s a very good idea, fill it with some plunges rafting style, people love a big and soaked ride, they will have so much fun during the summertime. Why don’t you add two more gods (earth and air) to complete the four elements found in nature?
* I didn’t see anything about a haunted place. You can add something like it in the Fronteirland using the Brazil’s colonial style (coffee farms, historical slaves quarters, abandoned theaters, old villages - seek for images like “City of Parati”, "City of Ouro Preto”, “Theatro Jose de Alencar” or “Teatro Amazonas”).
It’s all for now. Hope it helps you.
Regards,

All good ideas. The only parts I would not agree with is the Aracuan Bird. Do people really know him well enough to merit a meet-n-greet? Soarin' is pretty difficult, since it's all pretty much predone, save for the final scene. I'm wrestling with the Haunted Mansion concept here. Maybe that could be set aside as a later addition after the park opens. Also, since the river ride combines Jungles and the Rivers of America, how could the four elements work? Maybe the earth and air gods could be saved for the latter? I don't know.
I do like your ideas for the train tunnel.

The other gods could work the same as fire. Air god shoots air jet at guests. Earth god shifts the path to redirect you.
Remember, however, this is going to be merging elements of the Rivers of America, not just the Jungle Cruise. I'm having some difficulty of figuring out how to transfer from a jungle to an American forest. It's not that difficult with the Western River train at Tokyo, where the transition from Adventureland to Westernland is marked by the arrival of a train station for Stillwater Junction (at 3:39 in the video below):
However, this is not a railroad ride, this is a river rapids ride, so there needs to be something more done to better transition, I think. Any ideas there would be nice.
It should also be noted that in many of these attractions I'm referencing, they don't have all four elements of nature in place, only water and fire. It's pretty obvious, as they are polar opposites of each other. If I went with all four elements, there needs to be a way to work them into both parts of the land.

True, let's keep him to disturb some show/parade (he's so crazy hahaha)
Rio is perfect (especially if you select a great "carnaval apoteose")
:-(
I'm having second toughts on it. Better keep it simple, just water and fire.
I'm thinking of slightly redoing the first part of the Adventure River Expedition. Departing the rotating load area, the raft floats down a river and into a jungle. They first see giant butterflies in the trees and then get doused by a small waterfall (based on Inspiration Falls). Further H2O dosage comes from a school of razor-teethed piranha jumping out of the water, splashing water everywhere. They then float down the Congo, where they meet gorillas having taken up residence in a camp, like other versions out there, complete with a jeep being "turned over". In this case, some of the gorillas have gotten a hold of some firearms and indiscriminately fires a round here and there in the water, creating huge blasts that can douse the rafts as they float by. One gorilla is seen reaching out at a pile of bananas, but in reaching out to them, the ape mistakenly bumps against the raft and sends it spinning away.
It comes across a lion pride, similar to other versions, but it's a whole scene inside a cave full of waterfalls. It is based on @MANEATINGWREATH's concept for his Jungle Cruise ride. The rapids become relatively rough as the raft tries to escape from the lions that are feasting on a zebra. You manage to escape in time.
Now guests come across a pool of elephants similar to other versions of the Jungle Cruise out there, with a baby Indian elephant playing in the water with its mother, and another elephant using a waterfall to shower, but at the end of this area, a bull elephant submerged in the water rises up and not only attempts to squirt at the raft (and may actually succeed in doing so this time), but also accidentally bumping the raft off course - again.
From there, the rafts run through an ancient temple home to two feuding gods, one representing fire and the other representing water, and they don't take kindly to strangers entering their domain, especially those who seek the treasures they guard. This darkened room is full of riches, but the guests don't have time for them, given the swiftly-moving river and the gods bombarding with fire and water. Guests thankfully don't get burned by the fire god, but they're usually not so lucky against the dousing of the water god. In addition, guests also have an encounter with spiders and a giant cobra.
That concludes the improved first part of the Adventure River Expedition. Next it will be time for a transition to the more Rivers of America-style scenes. Until then, though, what would be a good way to transition from one to the other?
And thanks to @MANEATINGWREATH for the idea of the lion den scene.

- I'd take off the gorilla/gun scene.
- Will not the fight between the gods be much like the IOA Poseidon's Fury?
- About the transition, I think you could add something magical: A cave full of fireflies / a sudden dense fog / a waterfall that opens. Also you can add a lot of sound effects, smells and lights.

What do you not like about the gorillas and guns? As for the fight between the gods, I never thought about the similarity between this and Poseidon's Fury. Maybe their fight kicks up a ton of steam that somehow causes the fog.
I'm also thinking of this water ride to intertwine, at least partially, with this park's Big Thunder ride, whose theme I have yet to figure out. In the meantime, the steam caused by the gods in the temple somehow causes your raft to climb a lift hill inside a cavern full of stalactites, waterfalls and small geysers that spurt out water in the raft's direction.
What are your thoughts here? And @SeAraujo, before I continue, what is it about the gorilla scene you don't like?

This is the part, I know it is a classic scene but I really don think it is funny.
Okay, fine, but I would still like to include the one gorilla reaching out to grab bananas and accidentally hitting your raft, bumping it off course.
Also, the second half of the ride now is set in the Rivers of America style now. I'm having some difficulty tying it together, though. All I know is it that involves going up a lift hill and going down rivers based on the Rio Grande, the Mississippi and the Colorado. There would be an effect involving a forest fire, run-ins with wild animals like bears, and, as in most Disney river rapids rides, a plunge over a waterfall.
Any help here would be appreciated.
