Don't mistake me for comparing the quality of the shows. I was simply comparing their structure, which is very similar.Lion King show has great music. That Indian instrumental music hurts my ears.
Oh no, that's why I didn't quote your post. I understood what you were saying completely. Just pointing out that a show may have similar lines but the content could be quite different, as it is in this case. :thumbsup:Don't mistake me for comparing the quality of the shows.

The Tree of Life show looks excellent. They should just expand that timewise and use the River's amphitheater area for a daytime water show.Here's our thoughts, with photos and video.

A daytime water show is almost impossible with the way they've set up the infrastructure. There's no in water fountains that can shoot water vertical like WoC. There's just the screens in the back, and for RoL, water screens in the Lotus Flower.The Tree of Life show looks excellent.

I was thinking more along the lines of a stunt show themed to AK.A daytime water show is almost impossible with the way they've set up the infrastructure.

I mean that's technically possibly, but it's not happeningI was thinking more along the lines of a stunt show themed to AK.
That Tree of Life show is so impressive, they probably should have initially just used that for the Main Night Show (Expanded, of course) and never put the darn amphitheater in that messed up some beautiful views of the park. This is all in hindsight, of course.I mean that's technically possibly, but it's not happening
Just waiting for RoL to get it's act together. From what I heard, it still sounds like a mess. People saying it hasn't been able to get through a night of test runs yet without messing up/positioning being off. The problem now also is with DAK open until 11 now, they have less hours to test/adjust, meaning fixing problems could take longer.
The ToL show is only 4-5 minutes. A real nighttime show along the river is an integral part of the parks late night appeal. Unfortunately, the "real" show hasn't arrived yet. Btw, the amphitheater looks great in person.That Tree of Life show is so impressive, they probably should have initially just used that for the Main Night Show (Expanded, of course) and never put the darn amphitheater in that messed up some beautiful views of the park.

Also, what time did you ride Safari @BriMan? Those shots are great and the sunset doesn't look near as stupid as when I rode it (about 10:15).
I kinda think that they consider them announcing the JB show as their "update".Also, just a FWIW: The May update for RoL that Disney said would happen... hasn't happened.
While some new offerings leave something to be desired, I don't think many will/have been leaving the park not having had a good time/fun night. Most people i've talked to seem to be of the opinion (including my personal opinion) that Tiffins/Nomad Lounge and Tree of Life Awakens are great addition and love the atmosphere of the park in general at night (personally, it's my favorite at night, but it definitely needs more rides).Such a shame that AK is getting so much bad press over it's new night time offerings, AK is my favorite Disney park and I was really hopeful that these new shows would give it the boost it deserves.
Guess these hopes can go on hold till ROL and avatar.
It's been odd lately as it normally doesn't rain at night in FL. It's normally a midday thing.So we headed out to AK last night to try the new offerings. Had an incredible meal at Tiffins (believe the hype!) but the rest was a disaster due to the constant rain. Got stuck on Kilamanjaro for 30+ minutes and everything else was closed/cancelled including the two performances of jungle book. I heard a TM say that more shows have been cancelled than performed so far. That's FL rain for ya!

The recent rain has pointed out many flaws in the attraction line-up though. Every actual "ride" has to close during lightning except for Dinosaur. Even after Pandora, the park still needs more.

If I'm on a wait times app, and your theme park doesn't even have an option to scroll, you need more attractions.
