PHOTO REPORT: Animal Kingdom 1/19/16 (AVATAR, Rivers of Light Construction, ETC.)
WDWNT Reporter Dirk Wallen was on the scene at Disney’s Animal Kingdom earlier today and he has some great photos to share from his trip:
Rivers of Light construction is picking up as they race to soft-open the show in March/April
New islands conceal static show elements
I applaud Disney on the viewing area, glad to see stone benches instead of the metal bleachers
Here we see the control booth under construction
A view from Everest allows us to look from the same direction the crowd will see the show
Meanwhile, Pandora: The World of AVATAR races towards a 2017 opening, which may actually be sooner than we thought
It may be very early in 2017 when we get to visit Pandora for the first time as apparently work on the attractions is going well
Things are getting exciting at Animal Kingdom as we prepare for two incredible years of new offerings
