Light & Magic
Light Magic was a nighttime parade/street show that ran at Disneyland in 1997 from May–September. It was billed as a replacement for the Main Street Electrical Parade. At the time of its closure, Disney officially stated that it would return in 2000, but it ultimately did not return. Infrastructure improvements made specifically for Light Magic – particularly in Fantasyland – are still used today. The show utilized over 4500 miles of fiber optic cables and 1520 strobe lights.
