That would certainly explain a lot.

Re: Fantasmic gets a new Dragon (PICS)

And I thought I was doing well to get to World of Disney at the crack of 9:30 today in order to get my AP special doorbuster and extra discounts....

Thanks, Fishy for those cool photos, I love DL at sunrise!!

Girl it could have been the Timbuktu freeway and I wouldn't have known. Anybody that knows me KNOWS it took tremendous mental capacity for me to even identify the sky that early in the morning. lolol


And yes, it's true Pressler DID show up and try to talk me into buying a churro. A SPOOOOOOOOKY Churro

Re: Fantasmic gets a new Dragon (PICS)

I didn't see any dragon. Is it like Pete's Dragon?

Just after 7am a Helicopter flew in from the north, crossed over the golden state fwy behind TDA and landed near the coral.




Suddenly it was up again, flying over the berm, across the Rivers of America and to the front of Tom Sawyer's Island.
Looks like that was tight squeeze

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!
I think people would ask "how do I get to the 5" or "where's the I-5". Probably only people who live here would call the freeways their other names.

10 - Santa Monica Fwy / San Bernardino Fwy
110 - Pasadena Fwy / Harbor Fwy
60 - Pomona Fwy
710 - Long Beach Fwy
5 - Golden State Fwy / Santa Ana Fwy
101 - Hollywood Fwy / Ventura Fwy

Is the 91 the Artesia Fwy?

Lets hope it looks like the dragon in this commercial

YouTube - Fantasmic!

I love the Jurassic Park sound effects added in for the dragon. haha

I hope that the dragon looks like that(or better?). I think the one we're getting is supposed to move more as well.

Re: Fantasmic gets a new Dragon (PICS)

So will you be waking up early again to capture the rest of the dragon?

Re: Fantasmic gets a new Dragon (PICS)

Thank you for doing this. I'm geeky enough that I love this kind of stuff. Even if it does look like just an empty cage I find it exciting!

Re: Fantasmic gets a new Dragon (PICS)

Only at Disneyland does a giant dragon be airlifted into a circular river...
