Ok, heres my review from toue CB gazette!!
As many of you know the parade had its's initial run yesterday at the park. The sky wasnt on its side, first of all, and people were looking uneasy. But luckly the rain held off for the parade. Im not gonna be long winded and babble on im just gonna get to the meat of it. All I can say is that im impressed. For those who wasnt expecting much you will be shocked. And for those that were expecting much you still will be shocked. Its like paramount went from 4th gear to 9th over night.
The parade starts off w/ cast members comming out dancing around for a few minutes. Not to the disney style music that disney has at their parades, im talking about music from outkast, nelly furtado, and whoever that person who sings "its a new day" (the song on the opening day vid). After that the floats begin. The folats are pretty decenty size and very different from each other. I never knew paramount had soo many different character suits. It now makes me wonder why they only have like 5 character meet and greets when they had about 20 different nick characters out yesterday. From little bill to susie carmichael............they were all out there. The parade featured music from the particular shows each float was from as well as mixed the urban pop music that kids and teens listen to now-a-day.
Now this is where it gets good..............The parade is totally interactive. It stops like 3 times (from where i was standing) and involves the crowd. One interaction was tieing cloth around lil bill's eyes, then getting a kid from the audience to put on a donkey butt and lil bill chases the kid around the float while tryin to pin the tail. The parade also let patrons come up and play the drums. They had everything, from water to bubbles to foam spraying audience.
The only gripe which is usually everyones gripe is that i wish it was a little bit longer. I think it should have had atleast 3 more floats with one featuring the stand along nick toon characters like cat dog, rin and stimpy, rocko, and rocket power. I recommend all who have littlel tikes or who just loves parades (like me
) to go view this preformance.
would know............
