On June 12, Disney's Electrical Parade will return to Disney's California Adventure with major changes. This video pays tribute to two longtime units that have been part of the Parade since its debut in 1972: The Blue Fairy and Dumbo's Circus. In addition, Don Dorsey's electro-synthe-magnetic musical soundtrack, which has been part of the parade since 1977, with additional music from the 1972 Christensen/Beaver Soundtrack and updates from Dorsey from 1979 and 1985, will be changed to. See all of the magic as it returns as part of the new SUMMER NIGHTASTIC!

ANYONE POSTING ANY NEGATIVE OR IMMATURE COMMENTS WILL BE BLOCKED.

ALSO, THIS VIDEO WILL BE DELETED AND REPLACED IF DUMBO'S CIRCUS IS INDEED STAYING IN THE PARADE

This classic guest favorite returns to Disneys California Adventure park with Tinker Bell now leading the way aboard a brand new float. The parades popular song is also enhanced and two floats that have been absent since 1996 are back: the Diamond Mine of the Seven Dwarfs and the Pleasure Island playground of Pinocchio.

This little VW bus toy actually plays records. Not great sound, and it will destroy your vinyl.

October 2008 edit: To really play a record with no electricity whatsoever, please see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =EPWyTBUYolo

I have recently discovered this method. I always had an interest of vintage sound reproductions. I was fiddling with my records and makeshift horns and was plesently surprised that it can actually reproduce sounds!

The sound quality is not as superior as you can hear via electronic speakers, but hey, its only made out of paper! :P

The best records to play with are wider groove records- microgroove records doesnt tend to respont too well as the "needle" on the horn is wider than a microgroove. You may also want to try it on original 78's (they have even wider grooves) as those were originally played in a very similar way. I dont own a 78 so I never tried it.

It works best with stronger paper- about 100-120gsm(not card though). Also, you shouldnt press the needle too hard. The needle (and horn) will only last for several minutes before the needle gets blunt- this can only be used for several minute's fun. To be honest, needles in gramophones only lasts for one play anyways!

You know when the needle gets blunt as the sound quality/volume has reduced and sometimes the needle will fray out and ride on 2 grooves (listen carefully to the very end of the song!)

Next time you have a power cut, you may want to use this method (and turn the turntable by hand!) xD

The recording is Magic Moments by Perry Como. You can listen to it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =Q5zarGeHKNU

Edit (22/1/2007): Since I made this video, theres a stream of "home made" record players appearing on youtube. :P
