Any part of SpectroMagic salvageable?

[mharrington]

Is there any part of SpectroMagic that is still salvageable? That is, are there still any pieces of the parade still intact?

The audio track, which is, IMHO, the best parade audio ever made, could be re-used. From other posts on this and other sites, the physical detritus of the parade was trashed in loads to dumpsters. Curious if anything survived this scorched earth policy.

Listen, enjoy what we got because you never know when they will bring in Paint the Night, ugh I have nightmares about that.

I was referring to the floats. That is, if any of the floats could be reused for a future parade.

If I remember correctly it was the floats that ended up in the dumpsters. I don't think that any of it still exists, at least above ground.

I believe the fish from the Little Mermaid unit are still around, as well as Ursula. But nothing more substantial than that.

sebastian from the little mermaid float is used in FOF. A dress was ripped apart to be turned into pins (i have one). They most likely took what they can to use as spare parts.

As I understand it, the floats are destroyed. Now, some of the props on the floats could have been salvaged.

The spinning hippo/alligator topper was salvaged

i had heard a rumor that they kept a few Fantasia props, including Bacchus and Chernabog's body (sans wings)

They've been selling limited edition Spectromagic pins for each of the floats in the parks for the majority of this year. I have the trumpeteer pin and it has a tiny scrap of the float in the pin (according to the packaging).

When I saw those Spectromagic pins in September, it made me sick to my stomach. I adored Spectro so much and to realize that it is completely gone....well, the nostalgic Disney fan in me was heartbroken.

The magic Kingdom still isn't the same to me. That was one of the only 3 shows I liked in Disney World and all 3 looked forward to all year round, now I only have one and a half.

According to this article on D23 during the Attraction Rewind event they state the Finale Float was there and all lit up...

One reason I was asking about SpectroMagic is because I was thinking of doing my own parade, and as part of that, I was seeing if any part of the parade was salvageable for this new parade. You can look here: http://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/make-your-own-parade.878971/#post-6446373.

I was particularly interested in the carousel float as part of the Fantasyland section. It was so wonderful. But if they're gone, including the carousel float, the only way out is to create a brand-new float from scratch.

As I stated above in my post above the Carousel float was on display at D23 Attraction Rewind and all lit up..However there was a no camera policy (which is mentioned in the article).

For what it's worth, apparently the Sebastian figure on the Little Mermaid float in the Festival of Fantasy parade is from the Little Mermaid float from SpectroMagic.

Yes.
