What's Wrong with Rivers of Light?

Two weeks ago, Disney announced that Animal Kingdom's new nighttime spectacular, Rivers of Light, would be delayed until further notice. Now, as Disney begins their annual summer media preview Rivers of Light which was supposed to begin on Friday, isn't even on the press release anymore. 

They did announce however that the other new nighttime experiences that are expected to begin this summer as well. Here is what the press release had to say on the new experiences minus Rivers of Light:

Disney’s Animal KingdomFor the first time in its 18-year history, Disney’s Animal Kingdom will debut new day-into-nighttime experiences that celebrate the magic of nature.

• The park’s iconic Tree of Life will awaken each night amid a lively celebration of Discovery Island music and dance. Through stunning visuals, animal spirits appear and enchanted fireflies reveal stories of wonder as the tree morphs to showcase the magic of nature.

• Kilimanjaro Safaris transitions to a new nighttime adventure in the extended orange glow of a setting sun. For the first time, hyenas and African wild dogs join the safari trail creature feature.

• Hungry adventurers can have lunch or dinner at the new Tiffins signature restaurant on Discovery Island this summer. Guests seated in the restaurant’s travel-themed dining rooms or on the waterfront patio can sip libations and savor dishes featuring African, Asian and South American flavors. 

• Across the park, guests can experience wondrous new nighttime experiences and entertainment celebrating marvels in nature and enjoy long-time favorites such as Expedition Everest, DINOSAUR, Kali River Rapids and more – in a whole new light.

The question is however what is the issue that is keeping Rivers of Light from debuting? Rivers of Light might possibly be the biggest nighttime spectacular ever at a Disney Park. Rumors are arising that the wireless control system for the show's nighttime floats are simply just not working. But that's not all as the biggest issue might be that one of larger flower barges may have sunk into the Discover River as reported by WDW News Today.

Now what was thought to be debuting by the end of this week, now it is unknown when maybe the newest nighttime spectacular will debut by the summer or the fall. I'm sure when it does debut though it will still be amazing so stay tuned.
