I was wondering what it was like. How big are the ballons and where does the parade start and stop? Thanks

It starts next to the Boneyard, winds down Production Central, around Hollywood, back into New York turning onto the road in front of Bettlejuice, and exiting by Ghostbusters. There are pictures here of each ablloon at the event: http://www.ioacentral.com
 
It is an excellent parade. The balloons are full size...the ones that are too big...like woody woodpecker, barney, snoopy...are inflated in the back so that you can see them.

If you sit in front of Macey's you can see the pre-show. Between Macey's and Kong...you will get the blasts of confetti throughout the parade.

It is a lot of fun...take you camera!
 
Yeah I just remembered the Annual Passholder Viewing area is at the Macy's there. That is where I took my Macy's Pictures the parade was very enjoyable.
 

I saw the parade yesterday. The parade will exit by the ghost buster show area. The parade will do a split there on New York Street. The floats and bands will go to the right and the baloons will make a left towards the baloonopolis area and then back out production central area. It was a real nice are to watch the parade at the end of the parade they had the tree lighting ceremony and thad tons of confetti there.
 
Actually there not better, but Robert already wants to cause trouble as I have seen in he last few posts he has made in other threads. As he claims that Chris's pictures are "better" then mine as they can't be equally good. My pictures have to be worse then his. See Chris didn't get the full parade, he didn't get the fireworks, he didn't get the Tree Lighting, he missed alot of the event. However I got all of the parade, the shows, the balloons, fireworks, stuff he missed. Also he took 640x480 1.3 Mega Pixel pictures, I took 1024x768 2 Mega Pixel pictures. He offers 60 pictures I offer 100, Therefore my pictures would be better.

Although Robert is trying to make this a personal thing and my post will reflect that I fell Chris's pictures are worse then mine, but I will say they are equally good, he just failed to caputure the entire event. So check his pictures out, I don't care, I just was saying while your at it you might like to see mine as well.

It isn't that I want to cause trouble. It is the fact that you are always saying that I have more pictures, higher quality and I cover the whole event where as Chris missed alot of the event. This was going on while you were here the last time and it is already stating again since you've been back.
 
It's not a crime to say he missed a lot of the event because it's true; it’s not mean spirited to say he offers lower quality, I am stating facts. I feel that if you post pictures for a major site like IOA Central and you are promoting event pictures it would be a good idea to offer people a chance to see the entire event not part of it. That is what he has done on Macy's and Grinchmas; my pictures capture the entire event from every aspect, to every detail.

I don't find it fair you say I am saying that "It is the fact that you are always saying that I have more pictures, higher quality and I cover the whole event where as Chris missed a lot of the event." I wouldn't say it if after I posted links to my pictures to get posts like.

"There are some better picts on www.ioacentral.com."

"There's some good ones at www.ioacentral.com too."

"i really like the IOACENTRAL site for pictures"

I find it in bad taste when I make a new thread with links to my pictures to have in that thread people posting how IOA Central had better pictures. See when people do that, I feel I must explain now why my pictures should be viewed; because everyone who visits my thread now will not go to photos but IOA Central's because they are "Better".

Since this is my 2nd post on my pictures being better, I find it strange to have you say "It is the fact that you are ((always)) saying" my pictures are better. So before the above post I said it "1" other time so where is (((always))) I only even replied because you had to post IOA's link saying they are "better" to cause trouble. In my opinion you did it hoping I would reply. I don't know why would want to but that's I seen your comment.

See when I put in the time to take the pictures and upload each picture, I do it for you and everyone who wants to see them. I didn't do it for me, I didn't for money, I didn't do it for online fame, and I did it so people could see it. I like being nice and allowing all of you members to see my work that I take pride in doing. I love doing it and the only reward I like is when someone even if it's 1 person views my work. I have the pictures why should I keep them to myself when I can offer them with you?

Make whatever views or opinions about me that you wish all I have ever done or hope to do here or else where are help people out. Seeing that you and others see me as this smart *** punk, thug who likes nothing more then cause fights and insult people. If you knew me you would know that is 100% not the case. I do have a temper problem, and you won't see it unless I am being called a liar or when I am being insulted. So when that is not the case I am a good guy.

So let's leave it at you are right and I am wrong, and Have a Merry Christmas and I promise not to post links to my pictures because they are not worth looking at.

If that makes you and the other members happy that will be my Christmas gift to you all.
 
I'm only going to say this once: cut it out! Stop bickering, everyone. Otherwise, I will start deleting posts.

Thank you.
 
So, Barry, maybe next time ANYONE writes "there's a better such-and-such" about other member's efforts, you could go in and edit it!!!

You could have changed the "There are better pics at...", to "There are MORE pics at..."

I don't know about everyone else, but I'm really just interested in seeing MORE pics... I'll judge for myself the quality...

Just my two cents!

BTW, I enjoyed BOTH sets of pics.... thanks to Robert and USO/NWO for taking the time to put them up for perfect strangers to access...

The pictures at IOA Central are Rocketman23's pictures not Robert's so Robert doesn't need to be thanked. I'll say you are welcome for the pictures I posted, I am glad you enjoyed them.
 
NWO I am not taking credit for the picts. If you look at the website in general you will see that is does say that they pictures are from Chris (rocketman) and thanks to him. I only posted a link to the website for people to enjoy the picts.
 
Robert:

he didn't say you took credit- I accidentally did. But you might want to read my message to Barry (and Robin, by default).

The rest of us would prefer you say "there are MORE pictures at..." that way we won't have to deal with the rest of this silliness.

THAT SAID, thanks for all of the great info you DO post!

Happy New YEAR. Let's keep it clean!

Elaine
