Via Original Alamo Blog -
On October 25, 881 people gathered at the Long Center in Austin, Texas to attempt to break the Guinness World record for the largest synchronized Thriller dance. The old record was 140 people. Consider that record to be... shattered.
The record was witnessed by Mayor Will Wynn and Austin City Council Member Sheryl Cole.
Thrill the World Austin was executed by Alamo Drafthouse, Rude Mechanicals, Flash Mob Austin and sponsored by Mosaic | 5619, Mexic-Arte Museum, Ballet Austin, 6th Street Austin, the Long Center and the Capital Area Food Bank.
Check out the encore performace of Austin's Thrill the World Team in the Day of the Dead procession down Sixth Street on November 1st. Complete details on Thrill the World can be found on the official website, www.thrilltheworld.com.

Check the link above for the video...freaking awesome. Only in Austin ;)
Only a minor correction, but the old record was 147 dancers and was set in August 2008, by a group of school kids in the UK.
I mean, it was kinda unfair...we have Pirates Protesting Zombie Rights to March in Austin. Needless to say the major groundwork was done, just need to get enough people to stop working for the 5 mins. heeh
