Disney Cinema Parade at the Walt Disney Studios Paris
Page 6 of 12
The third float symbolises the script element of any movie. The script is presented in a four metre high book and opens intermittently to reveal Rafiki holding Simba aloft on Pride Rock. The giant Lion King script is accompanied by a series of Giraffe and Zebra grooms and if one listens closely, you can make out the sounds of the jungle coming from the float itself. Each float has its own independent soundtrack coupled in perfect synchrony with the foreground music that was being broadcast from the speakers littered along the parade route. The computers developed for this parade are the most technical ever used by Disney and exceptionally versatile as the parade controllers can change the composition of the parade at a touch of a button. For example, if rain begins to fall during the parade, the computer can switch off the "stop loop" and allow the parade to proceed without interruption along the corridor. The complex 24 track audio recorders ensure faultless digital reproduction of the soundtrack through the parade poles found at regular intervals along the route.
