Rivers of Light is expected to open in 2017 according to a “What’s New, What’s Next” press release issued by Disney yesterday. The nighttime spectacular at Animal Kingdom was originally scheduled to open on April 22, 2016 but has been long delayed due to technical difficulties.
Below is the new press release, which is the first official update from Disney since they announced the delay back in April:
Rivers of Light – Coming in 2017, this powerful theatrical production takes Disney’s Animal Kingdom guests on a magnificent emotional journey – a visual mix of water, fire, nature and light choreographed to an original musical score. Continuing the park’s transformation from a day-into-nighttime experience, the amazing after-dark show on the banks of Discovery River celebrates the majesty of nature and the connection between animals and humans in the world. With innovative and never-before-seen technology, Rivers of Light will be unlike any other production ever staged at Walt Disney World Resort.
Disney Cast Members have been treated to special previews of Rivers of Light over the past few weeks so hopefully the opening date will be in early 2017.
