SpectroMagic Returns To The Magic
Kingdom Tonight!
Combine
the energy of seven lightning bolts, the electrical power of a fleet of
2,000 highway trucks and a sprinkling of pixie-dust. Then turn down the
lights in the Magic Kingdom. On April 2, it’s show time for the Walt Disney
World nighttime wonder “SpectroMagic.” Designed as a moving gallery for
audiences along a darkened parade route, the show uses a techno-workshop
full of lighting effects to re-create pixies and peacocks, sea horses and
flying horses, flower gardens and fountains -- all the whimsical creatures
and environments of Disney’s worlds of wonder and fantasy.
