Here's something I put together last night -- it's nothing we don't already know, just an organized list that provides an overview of the show with brief scene descriptions. This is the basic layout of the different segments as described by Steven Davison. As he already mentioned, this is the initial roadmap for the show and some segments are subject to change once the actual show opens.

The End! Let me know if I missed anything or if you think anything should be added/removed. :wave:
speaking of the water.. i'm hoping it they add the dark blue dye it had before. some have speculated that the water will have more a green tint like RoA - hopefully that won't be the case.
