Where did you see that? I actually like that the blog post addresses this without actually saying "safety"...
" ...enhanced with new features designed to keep her in check while on show."

They mention she has a new look, hope it's still just as impressive.
Oh, and she's fresh out of rehab, so no talk about the incident!

They must have read what I said and edited the post already... because it definitely used the words safety features before.

She looked the same in the video so must have been very minor changes to her look.
Since this vid was done during overnight rehearsals, can't MK think about adding FOF at Night again? Why they turned it down after MSEP left, I still don't get. Ths strobes on the floats would look wonderful and the dragon after dark would be really something!

These are the changes as far as I know. The head and neck are obviously brand new. The rest remains original. The fuel delivery system was updated to include additional E-Stop triggers at ground level to shut off the fuel in the event of a problem.
Why?????? How about giving FOF more showtimes sinceand then they go and turn it into a money making thing

MK STILL doesn't have a Night Parade other than going right to cupcakes for celebrating the dragon's return?!?!?!

wait... so we're mad because they fixed the coolest parade float at WDW and simultaneously rolled out some new Maleficent merch? I'm not exactly ready to pat them on the back for this, but what am I missing here?

By selling food and merchandise with it.
Well my comment was before I saw that
The Disney of old would have done something like 2 performances a day for a month, or ran the parade at night as well as in the daytime.
Disney of today is focused primarily on short-term profit, so turns the long overdue return of the float into a money making scheme by selling over-priced junk.

In truth, it's all done very poorly. If the intention was to celebrate the return of the float itself, than their merchandise group has no clue.
