We have been told that the change to daytime parades to begin in
Frontierland and proceed to the Hub and then down Main Street will be
permanent. The reason for this is people want to take pictures of the
parade coming towards them with the castle in the background.
As an additional item, when Judy and I took the Backstage Magic (8 hour)
tour we found our that sensors connected to the DACS room are in the
pavement along the parade route at 33 locations. There are small
transponders in each float or piece of equipment so the main computer
can tell where they are. We saw parade control in the DACS room, and
the person monitoring the parade was able to know if each piece was on
time, running fast, or running slow, and was thus able to give instructions.
Also, with the 33 sections the PA System music is able to be better
controlled; prior to the new sensors there were only six areas where the
music could be split.
... My hard disk is full! Maybe I'll try this message section thing.
