Refurbishment1998#

The Hercules "Zero to Hero" Victory Parade ran for the last time at the Disney-MGM Studios in 1998, after a run of less than a year.

Held at year precision on purpose. A day-level date of April 18, 1998 appears only in Wikipedia's attraction list, whose Parades table carries no inline citations; D23's entry, checked directly, gives no closing date at all, and the Disney Wiki records this closure as bare "1998" while giving exact days for the parades on either side of it. The day will be recorded once a second source supports it.
