A Dragon flies over Disney World
After over a month of teasing people that a dragon may be coming to New Fantasyland, the dragon actually showed up tonight. (Dec. 5), according to the Disney Parks Blog.
The video shows the dragon flying over Cinderella Castle to celebrate the opening of New Fantasyland. The dragon looked spectacular in the footage as it criss-crossed the skies and spewed fire.
Disney Social Media Managing Editor Gary Buchanan has been teasing everyone about dragons with his Tumblr blog called “Disney Dragon.”
The story behind the dragon goes back to June, when The Bakersfield Californian reported the sighting of an ultralight craft over Shafter’s Minter Field that was a mechanical dragon. While airport officials were sworn to secrecy, restaurant manager Tammy Zaninovich snapped photos and posted them on Facebook. “It breathes fire and the mouth opens and closes,” she said, told the newspaper.
