Fire-breathing dragon bursts into flames during Disneyland's Fantasmic show [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.', 'Backgroundurl Avatar_Large', 'Nickname', 'Joined', 'Created_At', 'Story Count', 'N_Stories', 'Comment Count', 'N_Comments', 'Popular Tags'] Date: 2023-04-23 Photo credit: Disney Fantasia Sorcerer’s Apprentice Mickey must have zapped the dragon a little too hard. Because as most of us know, in the animated epic, the apprentice Mickey attempts some of his master's magic tricks but does not know how to control them. I believe that must have been the cause of what happened here. From the L.A. Times… A fire erupted Saturday night during Disneyland's Fantasmic fireworks and light show, forcing throngs of stunned fans to evacuate the area. Although the flames erupting from a 45-foot-tall animatronic dragon were dramatic, the Anaheim Fire Department said no injuries were reported, according to KABC. “It was a big giant fireball. Then they began pushing people out,” said Ryan Laux, 28, a Los Angeles video producer and an annual season passholder who was watching the show near Disneyland's Tom Sawyer Island when the fire broke out. The links will tell and show you the devastation! A bit more from the Times article… The show was coming to its climax, in which Mickey Mouse fights a fire-breathing dragon named Maleficent. But things went awry when the fire breath engulfed the dragon's head, then spread to the rest of the body, Laux said. "At one point there was a fireball," he said. "There was a bit of debris that fell from the prop." “It was shocking," he added. "The crowd was in a standstill. People are packed in like sardines." I am quite claustrophobic, so I definitely wouldn’t have been packed in like sardines. I have nothing against sardines, but I don’t want to be one. And has everyone, including in sunny, liberal California forgotten there are still people being hospitalized and dying from COVID? Super spreader event just waiting to happen, IMHO. Just in case you don’t feel like clicking on any of the above links, here’s a picture of the dragon being immolated… That’s gotta hurt. Elon Musk was contacted for comment and swears he had nothing to do with the incident.
