I remember seeing it on Samantha Brown's thing how the parade works. I think that's how it went so it is possible Spectro could be rerouted, but the floats may be too large for any other route than what it normally takes.

Dunno.
There are sensors


If you look closely at the ground as you walk down the center of Main Street, USA ,you will see a series of "pucks" embedded in the pavement. These are actually small sensors used to locate and identify floats along the parade route. As float passes over each of these "pucks," they transmit information back to a central computer (identified as "pageant"). This information is used to synchronize each float with it's music., and ensure that it is in the correct location in relation to the other floats.
