Based on the fact that Disney Cast Members are blocked from allowing guests into Animal Kingdom, which is extremely uncommon, I’ll predict the likely date for the opening of Rivers of Light.
I’d pencil in Tuesday, April 19, 2016 as a possible opening night for Rivers of Light at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. I won’t guarantee this as Disney hasn’t yet officially announced the opening, but Cast Members are almost never blocked from attending Animal Kingdom with their Front Gate Pass for their guests. I’ll let you know when Disney confirms the date.

We’re going April 19th so now I’m worried the place will be too crowded it was a 4/10 on the crowd calendar. Should this park be avoided now?
I doubt it. Anyone rushing over would be for night time stuff, if it were to happen that day.
We are there on the 22nd. We were there for the 15th anniversary in 2013, so I hedged my bets with the 22nd again :)
What time of night are you predicting the site to be
I’d bet they do twice nightly at least for a while.
Do shows like this sometimes have soft openings? We’re there there week before!
Sometimes do.
oficial test was made on 17 feb
We are there on the 21st. Hoping this is true!
would be nice going to be there the following weekend
I should be able to obtain this information fairly easily, one of my friends has just got a place on the Opening Team for RoL at AK.
waiting anxiously.
Earth day is April 22nd so it would make sense they do a big event that week.
