Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Hmmm, while I would be glad of a change from Fanti, Spectrotragic would be a real down grade. Now if Dreamlights were coming, I would get excited. But there were huge overruns and budget creeps as Fanti did not travel well from Japan, needed a complete refurb and rewiring. There were rumours saying it cost more to refurb than build. And it opened 18months later than originally scheduled.

But who knows what's really gonna' happen? ORGOCH: I does!! But I ain't tellin' none of ya's!! So don't bother ta ask!!

Originally Posted By irishfan I would welcome Spectro at DLP, Fantillusion didn't do much for me. Cant see this happening anytime soon though, like Dave mentioned they invested a lot of money into Fantillusion when they brought it over from Tokyo, and I cant see them going down that road once again.
Originally Posted By gurgitoy2 Well, I guess one thing seems certain...Spectromagic is going away. The only thing is that rumors have been all over the map as to what's going to happen to it or replace it. There wre rumors of Spectro going to DCA, then HKDL, now DLP? Then, it's replacement was going to be Dreamlights, now Fantillusion? I'll wait and see what actually happens...

Originally Posted By SpectroWishes321 Right now it's just a rumor, but it's been going on for awhile. If it does go to MK, it won't be their till next year at the least.
Originally Posted By Disneydanny I highly doubt that Fantillusion is coming to WDW those floats are too wide for the MK parade route.
Originally Posted By danyoung Is there any timetable for Spectro going away? It's not my favorite nighttime parade, but I do enjoy it and have many nice memories of watching it over the years. I'd love to know if my viewing in a couple weeks might be my last.
Originally Posted By SpectroWishes321 I don't think there is a timetable yet, all we know is that Spectro is definitly leaving sometime in the future. Your next viewing probably won't be your last though.
Originally Posted By mickeyboy43 Not gonna lie, those spectromen give me the creeps. Its like a real-life Chuckie! But seriously nighttime light parades are a disney signature. I hope anything they do wont leave a vacancy and will be truly revolutionary and (run on at this point) and showcase the advances in electrical lighting that have occurred since the parades initiation.
