Awesome! That gives me some hope about this.

New parade route system, spectromagic in need of refurbishment... They could be giving Spectromagic new parts and reusing the old on the Electrical Parade. Disneyland had the Electrical Parade for 40 years with no parade to part out, Disney World is cheap and this tells that they don't take verry good care of they're things, I can see already that they're running that 40 year old parade into the ground.Drive systems, motors, logic controls, batteries, wheels, speakers, amplifiers....
That doesnt sound right, I'm not saying the parade isn't beyond repair but what parts besides light bulbs would they use. The operating system of Spectromagic is nowhere near compatable with the Electrical Parades. The hardware no matter what they did for the Electrical Parade is 20 years apart. They're 2 totally different systems. Then here's the expence... Why would they spend millions just to send a parade thats falling apart across the US then spend money on parts and repairs, not to mention it was refurbished in 2009. I Doubt that the Electrical Parade is taking in any Spectromagic parts. If the Electrical Parade needed that kind of attention we would be talking aout a new light parade right now.
I often wonder if they're going to make this parade allot like Spectromagic, the lineup is everything Spectro had without Fantaisia. I'm also suspecting that this parade is going to have LED's installed all over it LOL. I wonder what this origional soundtrack they speak of I'd going to be.Uhm...We've been talking about it forever. The Electrical Parade is in terrible condition. Even the newish Tinkerbell Float has massive issues.
Everyone also needs to come to peace with the Fact that it's very likely that Festival of Fantasy might also "Temporarily" Replace the electrical parade...
Save yourself some effort and just read the thread here that has been covering this for months. The answers lie within..I found one of he sources saying the parade is being destroyed, not to familiar with the site so bear with me. http://www.themeparkinsider.com/flume/201304/3462/
Go onto GoogleMaps and go Behind Magic Kingdom, Go to dry docks, and get into Birds Eye View (aka zoom in), and change your view to viewing west, and look into the entrance to the building next to the drydock boat maitence building
Can you see the floats from here?
Go see for yourself, I can spot one float
I've been back there recently and remember spotting where the units are stored.I think I found it, very difficult to see. If that is one, amazing job on finding it!
