An animatronic dragon caught fire at California’s Disneyland park on Saturday evening.
All cast members and guests were evacuated and attractions near the show were cleared of guests due to smoke and wind.
No injuries were reported following the blaze Saturday night at the Southern California theme park, the Anaheim Fire Department said. Ryan Laux, a frequent Disneyland visitor, told The Associated Press fire that fire has always been a part of the “Fantasmic” presentation. But he said he knew something was awry when flames didn’t come from where they usually do.
“The head started going on fire instead of the fire projecting out,” said Laux, who lives in Los Angeles and captured the blaze on video. “Fantasmic” is a long-running nighttime Disney show at the company’s parks in Florida and California. The show features “special effects, state-of-the-art projections and superb pyrotechnics” and “Maleficent as a 45-foot, fire-breathing dragon.”If you purchase a product or register for an account through one of the links on our site, we may receive compensation.
