The Main Street Electrical Parade is a regularly scheduled parade, created by Bob Jani and project director Ron Miziker, famous for its long run at Disneyland at the Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World at the Magic Kingdom Park. It features floats and live performers covered in thousands of electronically controlled lights and a synchronized soundtrack triggered by radio control along key areas of the parade route. The parade has also spun off several other versions that ran or continue to run at Disney parks around the world. Currently, an updated version runs at Tokyo Disneyland as Tokyo Disneyland Electrical Parade: DreamLights. In 2014, Hong Kong Disneyland premiered a spiritual successor to the Main Street Electrical Parade, the Paint the Night Parade, which, like its predecessor, features “Baroque Hoedown” as its theme song. Disneyland has announced for its sixtieth Diamond Celebration a version similar to Hong Kong’s parade which will begin operation on May 22, 2015.

The original Disneyland copy of the parade runs at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World as “Disney’s Main Street Electrical Parade,” and has been in an “open ended” run since arriving in Florida in 2010.[1]

The parade is notable for its electronic musical soundtrack, all set to a 1960s tune called “Baroque Hoedown,” and its use of a vocoder effect during the introductory and closing announcements.

Catch the spark after dark at Disneyland Park. And say farewell to one of the Magic Kingdom’s most celebrated traditions – The Main Street Electrical Parade. Where else, but in The Main Street Electrical Parade, could you see an illuminated 40-foot-long fire-breathing dragon? And hear the energy of its legendary melody one last time? It’s unforgettable after-dark magic that will glow in your heart long after the last float has disappeared.

In this Break to Educate webinar, we go through a project in SOLIDWORKS Electrical 2D Schematic and 3D, and show you how schematic and single line diagram layouts link directly to parts, automated routing, and harness design in SOLIDWORKS.

Faulty electrical cabling that has failed testing could be installed in thousands of Australian homes and businesses. Time is running out before the cables become a fire or electrocution risk. If you purchased a new property, renovated or had electrical work done between 2010-2013, get your cable checked.

The Tesla show wowed its Moscow crowd, Saturday, as it showcased unique electrical effects in a spectacular show at the Geek Picnic festival. Some attendees were lucky enough to be involved in the show – standing in a glass box and being ‘electrocuted’ by the Tesla show staff.
