Construction of Disneyland's Fantasmic!

Part 2

While Fantasmic! was under construction at the front of the Island, the rest of the Rivers of America got a gunite base to reduce water loss. This also reduced the amount of mud in the river, and allowed for show elements to be installed along the river bottom.

Looking into the construction site from Big Thunder Mountain.

In front of the island stage, you can see two of the pits that will house the fountain platforms. During the day, each of the three platforms are lowered into these pits to allow for river traffic to pass above.

The rectangle on the left side of the stage is one of Fantasmic's three projection rooms.

The slope at left will soon hold giant intake pipes for the mist screens and other fountains.
