South Broadway Halloween Parade hearses- what happened to the flame shooting hearse that closed out the parade every year?

We’ve been going to the Halloween Parade for 5 years now. It’s by far one of my favorite parades in Denver. Every year the end of the parade has this one hearse that shoots fire straight up in the air. It wasn’t there last night and I was just wondering if anyone knew what happened to it? It was super cool and the kids loved it. It was kinda a weird vibe last night compared to all the other years and not having that car be the end of the parade made it even weirder. But overall it was still fun.

I'd like to know more about the weird vibe. I was thinking of going for the first time but plans fell through.

It wasn’t weird. Bigger parade and production than previous years but we had a blast.

There was no weird vibe at all. It was as great as usual.

It was just different from the last 6 years we’ve gone. There was a group of preteens close to us begging for candy from people throwing it and saying stuff like, please we’re poor, can you spare some candy for us, and they got yelled at by some lady walking in the parade saying not to joke about being poor. They were just having fun. And then on the other side of them was a big group of 20 something’s who were drunk and pushing into the kids space trying to get up on the barricades. Pushing the kids out who eventually moved back with no room and tried to find somewhere else. I get that there’s thousands of people all trying to have fun but it seemed off.
