I don't guess that those that didn't have it hit them that way, would ever understand. Suffice it to say the slow sad sounding march of, I assume, humans in the white face masks just depressed the hell out of me. All I could think of was death. I'm sure it wasn't intended that way, I hope, but, that is how I saw and felt it. I also think that a lot depends on which one was the first one that individuals see. My first exposure was to MSEP and I loved the Baroque Hoedown. I've already explained how I reacted to Spectro and was so happy when MSEP returned. It probably should be mentioned that I really am not a big fan of parades anyway, but, I much more approve of the upbeat sound of MSEP then the one projected by Spectro. That said, everyone has to follow their own path. You say potato and I say french fries.Still don't get the funeral march comparison.
And not a cloned parade.If they bring back some version it will be unacceptable to those of us who viewed the original many times. Somehow the imagineers fail to get the idea that 'a version' always disappoints. Just make a 'new' night time parade with lots of lights.
HEA? I'm getting better at figuring out these abbreviations, but that one alludes me.Spectro was THE. GREATEST. NIGHTTIME. PARADE. EVER. and with HEA clogging MSUSA and the Hub area, you will never again get a nighttime parade at MK.

Main Street Electrical Parade = Pure Joy
Spectromagic = Majestic and Emotional.
Both had utterly unforgettable soundtracks.
I was in the MK August 2011, MSEP ran.I have pictures camera dated August 2011 - - - Perhaps they brought back Spectro for a short run for the busy summer of 2011?
Why internalise the nasty mean-spiritedness of TWDC?Honestly there is no reason for Disney to put a nighttime parade in the MK. It cant attract any more guests since the place is already packed. I'd love a parade to come back and shorten my lines but it would make no sense spending the money.
I don't think it's true that a parade doesn't improve a park's economic dynamics. Doesn't it serve the same purpose as a show, but without the permanent show building? It's a pretty big people-eater since it occupies a lot of guests for well beyond an hour. I'm sure someone here has the numbers. In fact, maybe it's the lack of an evening parade that is causing some of the capacity and overcrowding issues for MK?Honestly there is no reason for Disney to put a nighttime parade in the MK.

Also Paint the Night is awesome but more a DCA or HS parade rather then a castle park as Marni mentioned.
Nope. Last performance was May 2009. In August 2010 the DEP was playing as part of Summer Nightastic.
Because It wasn’t.
Nope, I just checked with an ex performer - the last show was June 4th 2009. I was there that September too and was gutted it didn’t run. It was meant to be dark for 90 days but didn’t return.We took our son on his first trip September '09 and saw Spectro. The only time I saw it and absolutely loved it. Wish they would bring something back. Seems like TWDC is hoping that we forgot about the existence of a nighttime parade.
They were damaged by the elements and then destroyed.Didn't the floats get destroyed by overexposure from being left outside uncovered for an extended period of time?

I remember the Spectromen were actually given updated costumes during the final two years of the parade's existence.Closed June, 2010. Checked several other forums and they all said June 4th, 2010. One said June 5. I know I'm not crazy, I even looked at our confirmation emails from that trip. We were there 9-27 to 10-01 2009.
Also, how crazy is this? A trip for 2 adults and 1 child staying at PORS for 4 nights w/ park hopper and free dining cost $1475.96. Those days are long gone.
