“Rivers of Light” Construction Update from Disney’s Animal Kingdom

There is also the infrastructure required for a show like this:

Powerful lights have been added to areas in back of Lagoon

A closer view of the lights

More lights

Lights on the Dinoland side

This ‘island’ camoflauges some equipment

This also hides some equipment

Looks like both the main control booth and an elevator to accessibility

A few from the bridge

On Dinoland side, work continues on some outlier buildings that will hold spotlights

On Everest side, another building for lighting

A second spotlight tower on Everest side

There’s even more work going on around the arena:

Glad they added this ‘peek-a-boo’ area with cutout windows to see the arena

Barges with construction equipment moved off the lagoon

This barge is moved quite a distance away

Dining at Flame Tree BBQ at night is going to be interesting. I wonder how they’ll handle guests camping out. My feeling is it won’t be a very good view of the show.

“Rivers of Light” still does not have an official debut date. But a late Spring 2016 date is expected. Expect to see Dining packages and Fastpass= seating filling up early for this one.
