Return_of_Yogi Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Early this morning around 8:30 a.m. the floats began to arrive at PKI. The Parade itself starts this saturday, at 5:00, and make's 5 stops throughout it's route. Any body got any expectations? This is by far, i think the best production the park has ever done, and I believe everyone will enjoy. Please give feedback, if you watch it.

ThatGuyInTheEmporium Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 There was one morning they were testing the soundtrack, it kept cutting out on Spongebob. Sounded like he was being censored. Twas funny for us in Emporium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Return_of_Yogi Posted July 14, 2004 Author Share Posted July 14, 2004 lol. Anyone notice they are painting HUGE signs on the ground, one is directly in front of Bandstand, I'm guessing these are for the stops. This truly is going to be fun.

DeliriumDreamer Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 I don't think they go through AZ. But they do go through Rivertown and HB. I'll have to see it when I'm not working, or when I get sent somewhere in the vicinity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Return_of_Yogi Posted July 14, 2004 Author Share Posted July 14, 2004 I don't think they go through AZ. But they do go through Rivertown and HB. I'll have to see it when I'm not working, or when I get sent somewhere in the vicinity. The parade goes as follows....... From The Racer Access Road, down Coney Mall towards Oktoberfest, through Oktoberfest past funnel cakes to in front of the tower, from there it follows its path into HB, then down The Path of Nick Central to The Beastie Access Gate. The Parade makes 5 stops throughout its course, and is very interactive and fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOB_TOM Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Just so you guys know: One of the guys in the shop went to PKD and was told that when the parade started, it seemed that everyone in the entire park stop what they were doing and went to watch it. So far, it seems like a big hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Return_of_Yogi Posted July 17, 2004 Author Share Posted July 17, 2004 WOW! that was so much fun to do for an audience! AND Here is the final details. The Parade Starts at 5 at FOF. IF you are not seated near there you will not see the parade at 5, but rather at a later time in the route. To see the most in croud interactivity you should be seated near these 5 stops. PARADE ROUTE Down Arcade Lane at Coney Mall. Bubba Gumps Home Stretch International Street Corner Celebration Plaza ( Eiffel Tower ) and HB Hill.

StXBomber Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 I was able to see a bit of it from handcars in HB today at the very end. My line died when that came by because everyone went to see the parade. It looked great, and it looks like everyone really enjoyed it!

Magic41445 Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 I have yet to see the parade yet today I saw a few essential technical elements along tha parade route, like primarily the sets of speakers. A question that I have is...how technically advanced is the system...does the soundtrack simply follow the parade till it leaves a certain zone and then fades out, or is it as advanced as Disney's whereas the soundtrack changes to match the action or theme of the different floats within the different zones. Also when does repositioning take place...I'm assuming it is after the park closes for it would be too difficult to manuever the floats through the access roads.

unknown_dude Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Well, saw it yesterday and saturday, its pretty good for kids, could be better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teenageninja Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 I watched it while I was on break, it was actually pretty good, I think they just drive the floats through the park after everyone was clear, they are actually slow, and the hills in the access roads would not work well.

Xx2cansamxX Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 It's a good little parade, but it's very short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOB_TOM Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Sorry I had my one off day for the week. Im back though: The sound system is kinda basic. What happens is that the person in charge of background sound hits play on the cd player, and the cd player sends out a RF signal to the sound systems throughout the park. Thats basically it. Except with The Nick area. The sound is put through the HB feed, so we leech off of that and use it with our kick-@$$ sound system at Nick.

king_bag_checker Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 When the floats go behind the scenes at the end of the route near beastie, there is a big tent there and somehow they manage to squeeze every float under it. Dont ask me how. I saw it today when I was walking back from the water park on my break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Columbus coasternut Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 I was at the park Thursday and saw the parade. It was great and the kids loved it the only thing that I disliked was the sound system was crazy loud. I felt like I was at Ozz fest not Pki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonLord Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 "Kicken it all over town, this party's getting out of bounds! Every day's a second chance so get off your feet and dance!" Gotta love the theme song! The parad is pretty cool, but people have to remember not to expect a Disney production! When I walk the end of the parad in my wonderful duckling shirt I hear nothing but good things. I tend to agree with the sound, but the sound is the que for the dancers and stuff, if they can't hear it, the parade might get screwed up.
