Whats the real story behind Spectromagic, did they lie to us?

[THEMEPARKPIONEER]

We were told that Spectromagic would be gone for 90 days and get a refurbishment just like the Main Street Electrical Parade did. After that 90 days the Main Street Electrical Parade would end and be sent back to DCA. Not only did they have us fooled they probably had them fooled to. Not only is Spectromagic the first show to disappear off the face of the earth the Main Street Electrical Parade is still at Disney World and within those 90 days when Spectromagic was supposed to be in the shop getting refurbished they left it with the elements and it "accidentally" got destroyed and the WDW keeps the Electrical Parade. Was that just their way of avoiding internet controversy before all the changes were made?

My gosh, we're through the looking glass here people! And, now that I think about it, how come you never see Goofy and Super-Goof together at the same time? It's a conspiracy!

We were also told 20K was coming back in Orlando.

Hey... We were sold the idea that the MSEP was "Glowing Away Forever"... And BOY was it sold....

[Bluewaves]

Honestly I never liked Spectro so it really doesn't bother me, but like everything that comes out of TDO I wouldn't believe anything they say until it actually happens

 

[Goofyernmost]

Does it really matter? What are you going to do, call up management and call them liars? Is there some kind of problem with them possibly thinking it's coming back and then finding that it isn't worth it? It's gone, it's not coming back... get over it. And I might add, it's only a parade. It's not like they sold you an empty oxygen tank.

 

[FettFan]

No. They didn't lie. When Spectro ended, MK park operations were honestly intending to bring the parade back after three months.

Unfortunately, the gulf between "intent" and "actual plan" is fraught with horrors....like accountants.

 

[Christian Fronckowiak]

The story that I heard was that due to the space occupied by Festival of Fantasy, the Spectro floats were moved outside where they basically rotted. If Spectro were to ever have returned, it would have only been specific floats that survived, or new recreations of floats would have been built. Given the choice between the two possibilities, Disney chose to retire the parade.

 

[bethymouse]

They couldn't keep the floats in a "safe" place where they wouldn't rot? Well now that's sad.

 

[Bairstow]

We were also told 20K was coming back in Orlando.

We were? When did that happen?

 

[drew81]

Do you want the real story??

 

[FettFan]

We were? When did that happen?

From 1994-1996 before it was confirmed as to never coming back, and they turned the covered queue into a meet and greet station, parked a sub in the lagoon, and built the Triton fountain.

I sure hope some of them make it to the Main Street Electrical parade. If Chernobog survived they could play an electronic version of night on bald hill to baroque hoedown. I also thing the symphony units survived, that also would make a great addition if they could tweak the music.

This is your 15th thread on this subject... When will you accept the truth from the credible cms about this former parade already?

 

[Master Yoda]

That would require an airtight building filled with an inert gas. Taking them out everyday and running them in the Florida, sun, humidity and rain would also have to go.

Everything rots in Florida.

 

[Nemo14]

Do you want the real story??

yes

 

[kvandmx]

So, is there any hope of a parade similar to paint the night on the horizon?

I sure hope so!

 

[MKCP 1985]

Do you want the real story??

To echo @Nemo14 "yes, please."

 

[Spectro shire]

If you want the real story, get hired by Disney. Otherwise stop complaining, We may love Spectro and wish it was back but its over, time to move on
