Photos of Universal’s new parade floats: ‘E.T.,’ ‘Back to the Future,’ and more classic movies
The new “Universal Mega Movie Parade” in Orlando features floats representing classics like “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial,” “Back to the Future,” and more.

The photos below are from the first public technical rehearsal of “Universal Mega Movie Parade,” which performed July 3, 2024 at Universal Studios Florida. Tap or click on any photo to expand it and see the details closer.

Tip: We recommend watching the parade from near Mel’s Drive-In, Café La Bamba, or “Universal Orlando’s Horror Makeup Show.” There’s lots to see on both sides of the floats, and from this spot, you can see the procession twice as it enters and exits the route, with a different side of the floats facing you each time.
‘Back to the Future’





‘Sing’


‘Kung Fu Panda’



‘Ghostbusters’








‘Minions’



‘Trolls’
