Weather seemed perfect the night I saw it, but I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they knew something I didn’t.

You’d hope so but sadly I’d be surprised. I think they’d also have announced something if a new dragon was coming.

I was actually surprised to see that it appears Fantasmic has been moved back and now starts at 9:05 PM rather than 9. Is the show shorter now than it used to be, or was it always 9:05 around this time of year and I just didn't notice?
(Very well could be standard because of sunset times, and I've definitely seen 9 PM Fantasmics where the sun had just barely set before).

No reason I can see it should be 9:05, It's been 9pm for Years!
As for the Dragon: going off History......It's unheard of that the Dragon would be installed while F! is on its normal Schedule.....

They could be doing prep work. Probably unlikely, but possible.

Show was moved back 5 minutes to help with Paint the Night. No prep work has begun for the dragon, and I wouldn’t expect to see a new one until 2027 at the earliest.

Do you think this show is on the chopping block for DL ?
Disney doesn’t seem to care about getting it back to a proper functioning state.

I doubt it, it's pretty established at this point, serves as a useful alternative to the fireworks, sparks revenue via dining packages, etc.
Disney undoubtedly knows that bringing the dragon back would be enough to prolong the show for another decade or so.

Not a Disneylander but I can’t comprehend them getting rid of it ever. Aren’t the crowds for it at Disneyland insane even by Disney standards?

Whats the cause of all the lifts apart from the house one being down for months then?
Could be many reasons.
These aren’t standard elevators you can just call an elevator mechanic out to fix.
Budgets etc take time to be approved and work to begin

I find it incredibly unlikely that multiple stage level lifts just managed to break at the sametime and then go unrepaired for 5-6months while the one on top of the house is still functioning. There has to be something else at play.

You’re assuming they’re all broken. A concern with the same or similar component could take out multiples.
No, DL F's needs the Columbia and Mark Twain.

I feel like we won't get a new dragon until they do another rework of the show. We will likely get a fantasmic 3.0 at that time

They're sizeable enough. I don't think it's actually in any danger of going anywhere.

There’s been a couple issues with the lifts along with parts, so they’ve been all taken offline until reliable fixes can be completed.

Wait so no dragon? No lifts?
This show is seriously in pathetic shape, how dare they allow people to pay extra to view it. It would be better off paused until they can get it in proper working order.
