    Quite frequently in Spectromagic, float pieces are missing, not working properly, and feature less cast on the floats.

    Unfortunately, I have nothing to offer on your original question. Your terminology is new to me, but I do find it an interesting tidbit.

    If Mr. X was refering to my post I'm guessing he is not a fan of SM. Personally, I am indifferent on the parade. I've seen it so many times.

    But I also think that everyone who lines up to see it should get the same presentation as the first time it was presented. It's not like SM is undergoing a renovation like the Share A Dream Come True parade which would explain its absence.

    The only change I can think of on this parade is that the Genie replaced Roger Rabitt as the conductor on the music float.

    I'll reluctantly give Disney the benefit of the doubt that the reason the float piece was missing was due to maintenance.
