Make your own WDW parade here. Describe your floats, your themed units, what characters would be in it, what the costumes would look like, etc. So what would your parade be like?

[More to Coming]
Cars Unit
In a recreation of his body art studio - with paint cans, display hoods and such all around - Ramone faces backwards, bouncing on his hydraulics and holding his airbrush. He paints the cars rolling behind him - Lightning McQueen (with his original Piston Cup parts), Sally and Wingo - as well as the guests' accessories on occasion.
Paintable: Lightning, Sally, Wingo
You should also include Mater in this section and make him paintable as well. In many of his tall tales, he has gotten different paint jobs on him, depending on the short in question.
I like where your project's headed, @mharrington . I took a look at the lyrics you put up and, while they don't quite follow the meter of the original song I think they're going in the right direction.
Another note: I'm not sure about the lyrics directly containing the word "SpectroMagic". It seems to be put in just for the sake of it without context ( what is SpectroMagic? If you never saw the parade when it was running you probably don't know) and the fact that you're referencing its tune is homage enough. (Were you planning on a straight-up recycle of the original instrumental track, or a new arrangement similar to what PTN's doing with Baroque Hoedown?)
This is how I'd revise it if it were up to me:
On this magic night
A Magic Kingdom opened for us,
Brought our dreams to light
Yesterday, fantasy and tomorrow
Fifty [Many] years so bright,
And every day 'till now and forth
The young-at-heart can light the way!
Maybe the opening float could take cues from the infamous Castle Float (and sparkle from the inside with light!) or simply feature Cinderella Castle itself?
Having the castle as the finale does make more sense. Go for that. And maybe Main Street should be towards the start, in reference to its place as the de facto opening act of the park. For the music, you could always use a couple of the period songs that play as ambience in that land, or even I'm Walking Right Down The Middle of Main Street USA.
I miss the Spectromen so much!I really like the idea of having a parade like paint the night but still with respect to the old spectromagic parade.
