Re: Fantasmic gets a new Dragon (PICS)

The net is there in both pictures. The problem with the bottom picture is the angle the picture was taken at. You can barley see the net on the right side of the building. One of the poles the net is attached to helps block it.

Got it. It looked very different to me in the dark from the other side, but it's there.

Nevermind.

Dragon Update! The silicone skin that goes around the mechanical neck is going to be installed Thursday and Friday. The last few kinks are being worked out this week. Everything is coming up to speed, and we will get to see the beast in all her glory very soon!!!

Well, that's good news, BUT... Just remember if you are captured, the MiceChat Impossible Missions Force will disavow all knowledge of your identity and mission.

(In other words Ix-Nay on the Ast-Cay Ember-May Alk-Tay if you are revealing insider information. I can Guarantee that the folks in the TDA Hotdog Building are reading this. And they make the "Watergate Plumbers" look like a bunch of amateurs - Oh wait, they were... But you still don't want to get them mad enough to track you down. )

It's probably safe to say "Done" when it is, in fact, done - but don't go any further than that.

If you must say more, send the information as an anonymous source tip to one of the site principles like Al or MonorailMan or DustySage, and they can post it as a news story from an anonymous source - then it is protected by the Reporter's Shield Laws.

Reading it with relish, and oozing mustard with every word.

To which I say, let 'em get off their buns and go start their own betting pool.

Even if they declared the Dragon operationally "all done" today, it will still take Technical Services and Imagineers a week bare minimum to program it, and a few full Technical Rehearsals after close to make sure it all works as planned.

They have to load the flame charge and make sure it goes off when it should and not before, get the movements right and programmed and locked down, and make sure Mickey gets some late-night rehearsal time alone with the Dragon to know what to expect and when to strike the Coup de Gras.

Call it two weeks after the announcement as a minimum before he makes his first "Soft Opening" appearance. And they won't send out the press release till it's done 3 or 4 performances sucessfully.
