Re: Fantasmic gets a new Dragon (PICS)

Here are some more pics. As you can see I had a bit of time to kill from a very specific vantage point.




some guy was jogging. I actually ended up seeing a number of joggers. Weird.

Mr. Fishbulb deserves extra coffee and loving for getting up so early to share with all of us. So Mr. Sage, get the man a coffee and a hug from all of us. (Oh and a little back scratching would be appreciated also)

'Bout ready for that third, (fourth?) cup of Starbucks, Mr. Bulb?

Above and beyond!

Thanks!

Re: Fantasmic gets a new Dragon (PICS)

Very interesting. Thanks for waking up at the crack of dawn to take them! I can't wait to see this in person when it's all ready!

One little minor clarification though -- the freeway that runs behind TDA is the Santa Ana Freeway and not the Golden State Freeway. I-5 in So Cal can be confusing, because north of downtown Los Angeles it is referred to as the Golden State Freeway. However south of downtown the name changes to the Santa Ana Freeway. Same freeway, just a different name.

Sorry to nitpick there. But you never know if some out-of-towner trying to get to DL asks how to get to the Golden State Freeway, only to discover he's driven to Magic Mountain!

Does anyone know the exact date for when the new Fantasmic! is up and running? along with the other new summer entertainment upgrades?

Re: Fantasmic gets a new Dragon (PICS)

There are some that say that the ghost of Paul Pressler appears just before dawn in the Mickey and Friends parking structure to haunt annual passholders. Spooky!

SO the real question would be if Fishbulb was up to take pictures of the helicopter or because he wanted to check out the joggers and the helicopters just happen to show up

Re: Fantasmic gets a new Dragon (PICS)

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this for us. Backstage shots are always fun. I am now beginning to think you know Peter Pan better than you let on. How else could you be so high up in the air and get these great pictures if Peter wasn't holding you aloft? Great job.

I am now also starting to wonder if the full dragon will be helecoptered in, or just framework and the head, body, wings and other bits will be added on to the framework itself after it is in place. Although the thought of seeing a full fledged dragon being flown in would be just stunning. Thanks again
