Personally I hope we keep the DHS dragon. Murphy is too comical. Ours is far more menacing.

There were plans for Orlando to get Murphy. As said, it`s down to money.

I hope to see the new Fantasmic dragon at WDW as well. I don't get it, Disney is all about cloning, and Disneyland's already gotten all the bugs worked out; it can't be that expensive. :shrug:

As much as Murphy looks cool, she's much too small, and not nearly menacing enough.

I'm with Martin on this one. Keep our Dragon, but maybe upgrade it a little.

wait, are we talking about the same Murphy dragon from DL's show? Because small and comical are not the words I'd use to describe it :lol: Have you guys seen it in person?

maybe it's just me, but I didn't find the old dragon head-on-a-stick to be menacing at all. At DL it was the weakest part of the show.. When you could clearly see the simple, and cheap-looking, mechanism that moved the head up and down. :shrug:

In six months I will ;)

From what I have seen, DLs did indeed used to look poor but from this I also think Murphy is too cartoon-like. Orlandos still looks the better, plus you can`t make out the mechanism, the wings are wide and well defined and the whole effect of masking the mountain works so well.

I`d still take your new flame thrower though :D

Yeah, DL's old dragon was sad-looking. You'd be lucky if you saw the effect working properly. Not sure what you mean by cartoon-like, but ok.

She is modeled after a cartoon dragon.. so if she looks a bit cartoon-like it is intended to look that way :shrug:

and yes, her new flamethrower is quite impressive!

Nope. Still dosn`t do it for me. Her wings are too short and stubby. I know it`s based on the animated figure but as a stage spectacle I prefer WDWs. I hope I feel different in September.

Still want your flame thrower though!

You think their dragon is the comical one? Ours is a head on a stick! Whereas Disneyland's is an enormous, full-bodied, fire-breathing dragon. It's really quite impressive and menacing.

I was a bit disappointed the first time I saw WDW's dragon - it was much too obscured by mist (clearly to hide its mechanics), and I was expecting a lot more because of all the marketing. But there is nothing disappointing about Disneyland's new dragon.

I disagree. WDW's with it huge wings and head is much more menacing. DL's is impressive from a technical standpoint, no doubt, but WDW's is much more...I don't know...scary.
