On Saturday night, the day before the traditional celebration of a saint famous for destroying a dragon, the Maleficent dragon in Disneyland’s “Fantasmic!” show accidentally went up in flames and triggered an emergency evacuation from the scene.
From the New York Post:
A 45-foot-tall animatronic dragon caught fire and forced parkgoers to flee a popular show at Disneyland on Saturday night.
The blaze started during the theme park’s “Fantasmic!” show at the Tom Sawyer Island attraction… The show was abruptly stopped as guests and Disneyland cast members were rushed away from the scene as emergency personnel extinguished the fire, which was seen spreading down the body of the giant dragon…
The Anaheim Fire Department responded to the blaze and reported no injuries… The area around Frontierland was cordoned off, with the remainder of the park kept open.
