Magic Kingdom Parade
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Magic Kingdom Parade is a large theatrical presentation at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World which dates back to the beginning of the theme park.
It is comprised of many floats, each of which has its own theme music which is synchronised with a rhythm track that plays underneath the theme music for all floats simultaneously. As the floats move through the park, the appropriate theme music plays through loudspeakers on each float as well as through land-based loudspeakers along the route. A complex electronic tracking system manages the sound so that the correct theme music plays alongside each float as it travels by and pans from one group of loudspeakers to the next synchronously.
