Thank god. The parade really does immediately deflate when the float speakers stop working. It kinda reveals how lacking a lot of the parade is in actual dynamics. Even the wonderful T-Rex puppet loses a ton of life without the Jurassic Park soundscape and roars.

I can't exactly recall what the current issue is with the Raptor puppet float, but the ECTO-1 car apparently was completely gutted and redesigned internally to work similarly to the rest of the floats. Once they did that though, they found that it didn't work at all anymore. From what I know, the car is currently being repaired. It's honestly rather silly, because it was an operating car before they bought it. I believe Phoebe and the Finn Wolfhard character were supposed to ride in that. That's why there are so many walk-around characters in that troupe.

Kung Fu Panda float is also currently downed.

The Ecto car was actually purchased in halves. Literally they bought the front half from one person and the back half from someone else. And both halves were completely inoperable. They are building a FrankenCar for Ghostbusters.

Not sure if this has been posted before, but does anyone know what is going on with the Kung Fu Panda float? I noticed the last few times I saw the parade that they haven’t been bringing it out (in at least a week or so).

That's a nice dose of individual float kinetic energy that people were hoping for. Nice job, Universal.

So that just means Ecto-1 is missing? Is Kung Fu Panda back out?

To be fair they got alot going on. New Park, New Lagoon Show that was only needed due to hurricane damage, then add on all the normal stuff for seasonal events.

The actor on the Jaws boat is the MVP of the parade.
