News Dragon caught fire in today’s Festival of Fantasy parade

[MisterPenguin]

They sure made this refurbishment drag-on.

It's that kind of attitude that pushes projects to be released before they're ready. That's how you get problems like what the MDE went through recently (and still) happening.

 

[StarWarsGirl]

Obviously, the dragon is just lacking motivation

She was completely burned out.

 

[Goofyernmost]

Glad to hear they didn't fire her.

They just gave her a some ibuprofen to decrease the inflameation.

 

[note2001]

Doh!

 

[Seabasealpha1]

Would have never caught fire if they would have just made sure she had taken her Prilosec that morning...

I can see how missing heartburn medication would make her hot and bothered.

 

[HauntedPirate]

I saw the full-functional dragon... in DLP.

Hope it's back soon, that float is on fire! (too soon?)

I know this was just a pun but I can assure you they intentionally haven’t been taking any longer than needed. They want to make sure she’s safe, and the proper steps and process towards getting her back in parade take a little while.

This parade really should go down for a refurb.. For the past week I've been seeing a lot of broken elements, Like the 2 spinning scenes in the first float have been on & off this past week and one side of the peterpan unit's cannons have also been on & off this past week..

 

[OG Runner]

Sorry, (I may be an idiot), but I have no idea what you are saying.

Fire + Dragon = Fire breathing dragon

Which she replies with ...

"Continue speaking that way to me and I will fill your life with the stuff of nightmares"

Choreographer: "Blow when you wanna blow..."

That Dragon is such a punk, she must have been steaming!

It really doesn't need to "go down for a refurbishment." It's a parade. A lot of repairs can be done during the 18 hours a day it's not in use.

Maybe if the head was made of of a metal or aluminum that fire would have never happened and there would be minor repairs. It would also help if they just took the time to check or change out that hardware once in a while, just to show how much a multi million dollar company takes care of its toys.

Are you aware of the inspection schedule for the dragons firing system? Have you seen official reports of exactly what failed?

What is the likelihood of the dragon returning flame-less? Pyro flame effects have a history of vanishing in the parks.

Besides Kali I’m unaware of fire effects being removed from a show or attraction.

Settler's cabin. Not sure if there were other instances. I'm probably forgetting something. Kali effects turned off was a major blow to the attraction. Settler's not so much but it was still turned off. I just wonder if, like the cabin, Disney decides to swap our Dragon's flame effects for something "safer" like lighted fog or if they decide to do nothing at all.

Not that it's a total cut, but GMR wouldn't always run the cowboy scene.

I did forget about the cabin
