I wish that they would bring back the Mainstreet Electrical Parade. But whatever new parade does show up later this spring, will be great.

I wish they brought it back too. It didn't feel the same watching it at DCA. It wasn't "Main Street Electrical Parade" at all even if it was the exact same parade.

I agree, it really needs to be back in DLR MK's Main Street. That's it's rightful home. I wish Disney would swallow their pride and bring it back there with its correct name too.

No, but they will gladly sell you burnt out bulbs for the right price.

Speaking of, did they ever replace the bulbs with LEDs?

I'll have to look at the CD to see which one it is. I'm sure someone has it. I just have the copy that I use in the car, I don't know where the original one is at the moment...

No but I totally remember DLR's Light Magic show.

Oh and the CD you're probably looking for is a Fantasmic CD since I think that was the only one that they put the audio track on.

Nope, it is Walt Disney Presents The Official Album
Found it listed on ebay and it indicates it was from 1997. I guess Light Magic is actually from the Disneyland show "Streetacular"

Light magic itself was aborted only partway through it's run, the CD I have it from was the fantasmic one.

But yeah, it was one of those that I didn't think was terrible, but at the same time having to sit on those hard steps for hours just to see it made it less enjoyable.

We really don't have LM on here? I have like 3 or 4 variants on it (with narration, etc.)

I think the kiss of death for it was that it wasn't a parade so unless you were in the exact location you saw nothing (the floats would go dark and gun it to the next area once they were clear.

Since you have so many variations, do you know what instruments are used in the song? I can pick out the violins

and some of the other ones, but I'm not sure what the main thing is, doesn't sound quite like a bagpipe since there is no drone, but very similar...

Wizz: Light Magic was, for some reason, on the official park album that was sold in Disney World the same year it was briefly in DLR.

That version is a shortened version. There was a longer version that was bouncing around on Ebay for sale some time ago, but I haven't seen since. There are bits to the missing track that reminded me of Fantillusion.

There's a video I think on YouTube that has the audio with the narration.

I'm going to have to check that out on YouTube tomorrow. That is exactly the reason I thought it was from WDW since it is on the WDW album

Until I looked it up to see what year it was from, that is when I saw it was actually from DL.

How long was the WDW album version (seriously, they put it out there? What about LuminAria?)? The DLR fantasmic one was about 16 and change if I recall.

The bagpipes and violin were both electric variants, and a full orchestra, and I think there might have been a synth if I recall.

I'll have to check today to make sure but I think it is a little over 17 minutes...aha, synthesized instruments, that would make sense...
EDIT: I checked, the run time is 16:01, so it probably is the same one that you have on your Fantasmic CD
