Spectricallusions is an evening parade that will run at the Disneyland II. It will be produced by longtime Disney Show Producer Dan Rounds, it is similar to the Main Street Electrical Parade and Fantillusions, which was its predecessor, and its successor, directed by George Scribner. The parade incorporates elaborate, brightly lit floats, a musical score, and many sound effects. The floats are populated with Disney characters and represent scenes from Disney's movies and short films.
History[]
A lot of the preliminary technical work for the Fantillusion parade was proof of concept in this parade. So it's kind of the interim step between The Main Street Electrical Parade and Fantillusions.
Opening Announcement[]
The opening announcement is provided by a male narrator who says: "Welcome to the Splendor, the spectacle, the sparkling sensation, where the romance, the comedy and the thrill of Disney Fantasies come to electric life... And now Disneyland II proudly presents in a million points of musical light, the Magical Worlds of Disney in SPECTRICALLUSIONS!”
Soundtrack[]
Music[]
The main theme for SpectroMagic ("On This Magic Night") was composed by movie composer John Debney. Together with Steve Skorija, he arranged music by Disney composers into a 14-minute suite. The parade's scenic designer was Ken Dresser.
