Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom Discussion ThreadP. 324: V.I.PASSHOLDER Perks in January announced!Users viewing this topic: No registered users and 2 guests Re: Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom Discussion Thread^ Hopefully keeping the track that goes from hotel to hotel, I love going there at Christmas seeing all the gingerbread houses and decor and just hopping on the monorail.

Or they could build giant nets around each park, pass out fairy wings to everyone who enters Central Florida, let 'em park where they want, and then magically fly in to the front gates on their own free will. Displaying "Online Enthusiast Morality" since 2006, with 99.9% more sarcasm.
Re: Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom Discussion Thread
Are those fairy wings for sale at local Walmarts?
Re: Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom Discussion Thread
They're not the fairy wings, but look-a-likes so your mileage may vary... Re: Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom Discussion Thread
True. I SEE DONKEYS!!!!!!

While it isn't "NEW" (I think of it like Six Flags moving a coaster and calling it "NEW") Disney took a little while on this, considering the accident happened 3 years ago. (Even with not having the whole legal thing settled) However I think its clear that Disney World may not be ready for newer monorail trains yet ![]() Re: Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom Discussion ThreadBittersweet.
On one hand, this brings the fleet back to twelve, and should improve capacity issues. On the other hand, using those spare parts from the pink/purple accident means - less spare parts. ![]() Data entry nut for the official TPR coaster poll! https://coasterpoll.com/ Check out my theme park 3D visualization portfolio!

WDW Electrical Parade QuestionsHi, okay...just to fulfill my odd fascination with logistical items I have a few somewhat related questions about the Main Street Electrical Parade at WDW's Magic Kingdom (although the same questions could apply to Spectro-Magic. We are assuming that the parade is stepping off from Main Street and heading towards Frontierland for these questions:
1. How long does it take for any particular float (let's just say the Circus Train from the beginning) from the second they enter the parade route until they leave the parade route? In other words, how long is each float in the park for? 2. When the back of the eagle from the last float enters the parade route, where along the route is the first float (Tinker Bell?)? 3. How long is the entire parade in the park? 4. How long is any part of the parade in the park? In other words, how much time passes between the first float entering the parade route and the last float leaving the parade route? I know these are odd questions, but I am often more interested in these behind-the-scenes facts than I am with the attractions themselves. Of the road, but still in a truck...By the way, that's my dog Millie (named after Millennium Force) over there to the left!
Re: Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom Discussion ThreadWell given the parade usually starts at 9 and the magic the memories and you on the castle starts at 945 your looking at about 35-40 minutes from main street to frontierland. I know that doesn't help much but its a start.
Re: Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom Discussion ThreadTechnically, your questions don't have anything to do with "behind the scenes" stuff because any person could just walk the whole parade route on the sidewalk and time it with a mobile phone.
There isn't really a "set" time that the parade is en route for. Sometimes, for impending rain or if crowds or high, they'll book it from start to finish. Sometimes, there's a problem and the floats have to stop briefly. I would wager on average the parade lasts about a half hour from the start of the music track to the end of it. Tinkerbell's balloon is usually crossing the bridge into Liberty Square when the gate closes behind the To Honor America float. If it's any consolation, usually The Magic The Memories and You has started playing in the castle forecourt before the parade music stops near Splash Mountain. ![]() Data entry nut for the official TPR coaster poll! https://coasterpoll.com/ Check out my theme park 3D visualization portfolio!
