Originally Posted By typhoonCM It depends on their specific role. They don't really have a general name for all of them, but for instance the ones that spell out Walt Disney World and SpectroMagic on the sign are called spectro-sign or script-sign.

Originally Posted By riverted They actually have names for all of them...

The ones on the spinning balls are named Hyper-Chic (front left), Rapper (front right), Lo-Ball (back left), Opera (back right)... & if you listen & watch very closely you'll notice why they're named these names... Each one has a different voice & personality...

Originally Posted By riverted Well the point is that they're spinning to send out the electricity to the parade... Of course all that energy is coming from Mickey Mouse & his interactions with the electro-ball on his float... Mickey sends it out to the Spectromen & they spin to send it out to the rest of the parade...

Originally Posted By Blackie Pueblo I remember him. The big demon guy from the Bald Mountain cartoon. I remember when he came around, I would hear parents saying they didn't like that one. I guess it was too scary they thought or something. Or maybe they didn't remember it being from Fantasia.

Originally Posted By TDLFAN As far as I know, the Chernobog float should still be in the parade. Has it been taken out for some reason?
Originally Posted By riverted Chernobog is still in Spectro... Although some nights that float isn't used under wet/rainy weather conditions... That also goes for the Carousel float too...
