Work is continuing around the waterways of Asia at Disney's Animal Kingdom installing the show elements and seating areas for the upcoming Rivers of Light show.

Still no precise opening date set, but expect it to debut in the Spring, and Earth Day (April 22) has always been a popular opening date at the park, so could well be a target here.

Rough. I had high hopes for this, my oldest son actually loves it. We knew it wasn't popular, maybe if it had been given the chance it deserved, instead of constant cutbacks it could've been great. The area is beautiful, hope they do something with it.

One of the best shows on property

At least we have the Tree Of Life projection show (that happens at random).

Well, I guess if they aren’t going to be open pat 6:00 pm 😭

R.I.P Rivers Of Light 2017-2020

I don’t think they probably do that much cleaning (if at all) to the water in Paradise Bay. Having experienced WoC up close and personal, I can tell you it’s definitely not chlorinated by any means. I don’t think I’d feel too much difference with it versus the water in AK, haha. And I’ll echo what the other poster said. Definitely fireworks ash combined with water. Has happened to me at several of the Florida parks if there’s been a rainstorm right before the night shows. Still gross ;)

Delicious tropical bacteria*

The water in Paradise Bay is nasty, too. At least in Florida, it’s only tropical bacteria.

Maybe im wrong but I feel like there is a big difference between the water in WoC and RoL lol. Getting wet from WoC doesn’t sound as bad or dangerous as getting wet by the nasty water of RoL lol. I feel like I’m going to catch some nasty bacteria or something lol. I remember watching Ignite at Sea World during the Summer, getting soaked from their fountains and having black specks on my skin. Gross!

There's wind only in Florida? You usually get soaked in WoC if you're close to water. That's a non issue

TTA94Mar 13, 2019

It happened to me twice recently from the Dinoland side.

SquishyMar 13, 2019

I watched the show front row atleast 8 times already and never felt a drop of water.

TTA94Mar 13, 2019

Hopefully I’m wrong but I doubt the Shamans will come back. If RoL was more like World of Color, sadly with IP, it would be extremely popular. Although I’m not sure that would ever work due to wind and beeeze factors. As it is you can get pretty wet from just the 4 lotus fountains and the giant water screen.

Let's hope so. No sign of Rafiki's reopening so I'm not holding out hope. :(
