That way, there would always be something new to enjoy, but it would be the "good old MSEP" that everyone loves.

I LOVE it when Disneyland has a Daytime Parade, a Nighttime Parade (ala MSEP), Fantasmic, Fireworks, Bands (Jazz in New Orleans; Swing at the Carnation Plaza Gardens; Rock and Roll at the Tomorrowland Terrace. Bring it ON! The more, the merrier, and the better (OK - as long as it isn't "Light Magic" - that one just didn't work!)

Maybe I'm confusing it with the Return to Oz unit, which was destroyed in a fire shortly after it premiered (which would make me think that it was around the same time that the iasw float disappeared...coincidence?)

We know this because we read the article about the burned floats in a newspaper article with a friend we didn't meet untio 1990. The Return to Oz floats had mirrors on them which reflected the sun's hot rays and this is what caused the fire which, not only burned down the Wonderland floats but also burned the OZ floats, too.

That thing has been around long enough to surpass being "old", "outdated", and "vintage" and is almost to the state of being a "classic". I guess the Sunshine State couldn't live up to its name (though I have doubts about the mirror theory in CA too)
