Imagineering a brand-new Disneyland experience for you! (By BDF and MEW)

[Big Disney Fan]

I think MEW forgot to mention something about the Electrical Parade, that Jiminy Cricket will now be seen in the Pinocchio unit. Anyway, here now is the next part of the new and improved Electrical Parade, the second of two new elaborate additions, The Little Mermaid!

This new underwater unit marks the first time since the early 1980s that a scene themed to the ocean is featured, that being the Briny Deep, which was later rethemed as Pinocchio Underwater. Anyway, the new Little Mermaid unit's music has some of Baroque Hoedown intertwined with "Under the Sea" and "Part of Your World". This new unit has some elements of the old Briny Deep scene thrown in, most notably some depictions of seaweed, seahorses and lots of colorful fish, all under a series of ripples to further enhance the underwater effect and bubbles, both lights to simulate those floating up to the surface and real bubbles that are sprayed out towards the audience. It is an entirely new version of the old Briny Deep unit, but new and drastically improved. The fish all swim around in a circle underneath Flounder and Sebastian all lit up. On the end of the float, Ariel herself waves to the audience. Bringing up the rear is a gigantic Ursula float, about the same height as the clock tower in the Cinderella unit, all done up in lights and surrounded on both sides by the Flotsam and Jetsam puppets from the old Parade of Dreams, but which are now re-purposed for this new parade here.

Oh, and I forgot to mention something else: Donald Duck on the train at the start of the parade will be positioned as he had been in the Paris version of the parade (watch from 0:45 to 1:14):


There's more to come, so stay tuned!

For the Princess & The Frog float it could look like a steamboat light up like mardi gras with Tiana,Naveen & Louis playing Goin down the bayou,almost there,dig a little deeper and a jazz version of baroque hoedown.

Before BDF completes the new Electrical Parade, I'd like to show you what many of the new and refurbished floats will be based upon:



The new floats resembling giant Disney characters will appear as similar to their movie counterparts as possible but will be colored and vivid just as the movie character-floats are in Tokyo. The giant caterpillar seen at about and around 5:40 is the same size as the new hookah-smoking Caterpillar, complete with the flowing color patterns and on-and-off lights. His hookah pipe smokes steam as he parades down the street. Many of the scenes found in Dreamlights that are found in our Electrical Parade will be updated to better resemble their much more prominent Tokyo counterparts. And that's about it (of course BDF will be posting the rest of the actual parade later).

Roxas, I didn't necessarily mean that Princess and the Frog will be in the revised parade, I meant that they'll find their way into the park(s) elsewhere.

Oh well atleast you got to hear my idea of the float.

Nice job guys, keep it coming.

I've been really busy guys, sorry. BDF are you going to complete the remainder of the Electrical Parade? We're pretty much done it seems.

I've been pretty busy myself. I guess I'll try to close the parade out when I've got the time, which I haven't right now.

Here's the last of the Electrical Parade:

Next up, you witness still another classic scene in the parade: Pete's Dragon! It's the same float as before, a giant Elliot the dragon comes down the street, spewing smoke from his nostrils, disappearing and reappearing at will, his friend Pete riding him on his neck, and a lantern hanging off of his tail. Pete also continues to comment on Elliot to the guests and vice-versa. But again, this float has been replaced for the new version of the parade. Instead, he now looks like this:


But other than the new look, it's the same scene as before.

Finally, we have still another returning classic, the finale unit To Honor America. Like some of the earlier scenes of the parade, this closing scene is the same traditional unit, but remastered, restored, and given new life, color, and lighting effects. It features the same elements as before: a banner reading "To Honor America", firework rockets, firework effects, a long, elongated American flag, drums, and finally, at the very end of the line, a giant bald eagle to close out. Flanking the sides of the unit are several female performers in colorful colonial getup doing high-kicking dances as they parade along. Behind the eagle, more patriotic girls act as rope tenders to allow the guests to leave. As the music reaches its end, you hear the classic closing line: "Disneyland's Main Street Electrical Parade!" And the music finally reaches its dramatic close, the lights along the parade route are turned back on and the parade is over.

I never saw this parade before.

I never saw this parade before.

That's because it's part of the newly re-Imagineered Disneyland!

[Twilight_Roxas]

No I mean't I never saw the show at all not even when it was at Disney California Adventure.

[MANEATINGWREATH]

Up next: Adventureland! Stay tuned...

[starwarsgeek13]

Can't wait!

[MANEATINGWREATH]

BDF and I are kind of busy at the moment and are currently working and discussing what to do with Adventureland. Stay tuned, I promise you that our next post will be coming soon.

I hope you like some of our alterations to Adventureland, they will make this part of the park better than ever.
