Mega Movie Parade

[Alicia]

By the way, yea the BttF float isn’t designed after a moment from the films… cause it’s from the ride. Where we crash into the clock tower just as we jump back in time with the gears flying around us.

But Marty wasn’t in the ride?

But this really emphasizes my point. If the parade is “Mega Movie Parade,” show scenes from movies. If it’s just generic Universal IPs, including scenes from rides, then don’t don’t emphasize “movies” in the name.

I’m just speaking to the float design. The characters are all over the place, mixing continuities for multiple properties, like old and new Ghostbusters (but not OLD old Ghostbusters).

I don’t disagree with your assessments and ideas for improvements, just wanted to point out what I thought the float design may have been evoking.

It also uses music from the broadway musical! It’s all over the place.

(But I live for them using music from the musical haha!!)

I can still hear that satisfying crash sound as you fly through the clock face.

omg we NEED a Biff Tannen character! The Amity Mayor and Chief Brody have been so well received, Biff would be hilarious.

specially if they had different versions of him at once and they argue with each other. have the old guy version. and the young version

Floats getting stuck seems to be a major issue.

What time is this parade running currently? Will it run during the afternoon before the park closes for HHN?

 

[Rhian]

Just going by the POV posted: there's definitely too much static portions on the floats. The lack of simple things like moving eyes on the Minions or fog effects on a couple of the floats like ET and Ghost Busters were a little surprising. Technical rehearsals may not have everything 100% there but even with a couple of other things to come it's lacking kinetic energy on the smaller elements. The lack of vibrant energy you'd expect from some of the performers isn't adding to the excitement either (not blaming the performers, I assume they're following directions from show leads).

It also sounds like there's a music deadzone between floats? They may have more to do with the distance but it was obivous once or twice but for some it sounded like you couldn't hear the music until after the float passed (speakers on back?).

The parade definitely needs adjusting. Working on the costumed character movements and interactions would be a good start. Or if they pumped the ET ride scent from the float. lol

Guess we can't expect a F&F: Tokyo Drift float anytime soon if they can't make the corner at slow speeds.

It seems like it's just the Ghostbusters float? Is that one longer than the others or something?

6pm currently. 2pm when HHN starts.

 

[HHN Maddux]

When we get characters coming out before parade (like Mardi Gras + Macy's), we need to see the Ghostbusters and Beetlejuice reunion!

Also really hoping for a meet-n-greet with Chief Brody and the mayor.

 

[Jwhee]

New Discover Universal podcast (28 mins in) confirms that there will be an Ecto in the parade.

 

[Mad Dog]

Any info on when the other 4? parade floats will be ready to go?

Wait there's actually supposed to be more? lol

If I'm counting correctly we're just missing 2, now with the Ecto we'd be short 1

So have they added more after the first day? Because originally there was 9 and was supposed to be 13

I believe the title float and the Gyrosphere are counted.

I will be honest I didn't personally look at video since I am waiting to see in person, I was just going off what others said here. But yes, I would think those would be counted in the 13 and didn't realize those who said 9 were not counting them. Thanks!
