And yet they have no body of water that is even a fraction of this size for a show like this. It would require a massive lake to be built in DAK, most likely on the periphery of the park somewhere. And then you've got the DHS Fantasmic! problem where this night show is performed in a sterile, cheesy aquacade theater with metal bleachers and tourists doing the wave to kill the boredom before the show. No thanks.
The only place a WoC show could be installed in a current park would be World Showcase Lagoon, but the route of the Friendship Boats would be heavily impacted as I'm sure they wouldn't let them go over the submerged show deck.
If WoC ever arrives in a WDW, it could only go in Epcot.
Not for Animal Kingdom at all. I'm fine with that, Animal Kingdom just isn't right for that kind of a show with giant walkways and big barges...No thanks, like you said.
I'm pretty sure that giant fan is coming from just one nozzle! Can you imagine three of those overlapping? I think that's how it'll work...*
*Crazy speculation

I'm not sure, it's just speculation at this point. I think Chernabog is pretty much a given.. but i wouldn't leave out the possibility of the tower being used for some other characters as well :shrug: there's this piece of concept art that shows Zurg rising out of the water. just a guess..
Oooh. Cool, I never saw that.

The lights are lowed into a water proof box similar to Fantasmic! lighting rigs, and speaker towers.
Some more info hopefully all is correct, The lights are called Syncrolites, and if Iv been counting right theres at least 16 in the show 5 on each light tower(Screamin and Jumping Jellyfish) and 1 in each "lighthouse".
Same lights but different models are also used in Magical and Halloween Screams, 3 on each the side of the castle, Iv heard that Tink, Dumbo and Zero are lit from 6 more additional Syncrolites through out the park.
Fantasmic! uses them too different models again, but were updated again sometime this year after first being installed in 2008, theres at least 10 in the show 2 on each major light tower.

Its probably already been mentioned in this thread but the viewing area is getting lights.

Seriously this would get DAK to stay open past 7!

The lake that is near EE is big enough with some modification, and it would't be that same show just the same tech, the shows theme would be unique to and made to fit the theme of DAK. Also you can't argue Fantasmic because they also have that in DL.

I agree...They could easily make that lake "Show Ready" for a WoC esque show on nature, adventure and animals.

A look at the platform its to big to fit in the picture but you get the idea-
The fountain in the viewing area is coming along-
The hidden stage-
More of the viewing area, also if the concept art is correct the Mermaid facade(the big arch part) should frame up beautifully with the Paradise Park's walkways, trees, fountain, and hidden stage.
The pillar thing now also has one lamp post installed, along with some trees-

Im guessing its so they dont have to put up those big ugly stages like the ones used for Rockin the Bay, X-Games Experience had the big blue ones similar to what DHS uses for event infront of the hat, or the smaller TSMM! grand opening all had stages that seemed to take longer to set up and take down. Its some great thinking ahead.:sohappy:

And heres a shot of the stage rised up, it reminds me of the DL Tomorrowland Terrace Stage just on a smller scale and no underground access and no topper since the topper is the walkway.

I don't even think that's really show height yet too. Still think it goes lower, as the Light Rings are supposed to be under the water I believe if my Fountaineering knowledge is correct.
