Disney's Electrical Parade heading to California for final run
POSTED 11 Oct 2016 . BY Tom Anstey
The show itself comprises more than 80 live actors and used more than 11,000 LED lights on costumes alone
Disney’s Main Street Electrical Parade has finished up its run at the operator’s Florida resort, with plans to move the show across the country to its park in California for its final swansong.
Running for the final time at Magic Kingdom on 9 October, the parade will now move to the West Coast for a “limited run” at Disneyland in Anaheim before the operator pulls the plug on the light up attraction.
The Electrical Parade is one of Disney’s longest-running attractions, first debuting at Disneyland in 1972 and being performed at Disney California Adventure park after an eight-year hiatus from 2001 to 2010. The attraction then moved to Orlando, running nearly every night for the past six years.
The show itself comprises more than 80 live actors and used more than 11,000 LED lights on costumes alone.
“Disney estimates over 1 billion people have seen that parade at their various parks over the last 40 plus years,” said Miziker. “It’s great that it turned out well and the audience loves it so much.”
