Sounds like a run at a local SpectroMagic- which is great!  Now if we could only get the parade to last more than 3 minutes...

Looks Great maybe we will have a "Disney" Like turnout now for our parade Instead of having all of 5 people stop to look at what is going on.

The "Over 60 performers" part is what surprised me.  This is going WAY beyond just being a bunch of lit floats.  I'm really looking forward to this.   It makes you wonder if this is the same type of night time parade they are creating for Animal Kingdom to keep people around later at night.

It looks like they have done quite a bit of work for Hershey's.
And Star Trek the Experience in Vegas!

I think keeping AK open AFTER 6 pm on any given day will also help keep people in the park longer!

This looks like it will be cool, and should keep some more people away from the coasters during the night time rides!
