Fire-Breathing Dragon Flying above New Fantasyland at Disney's Magic Kingdom

A fire-breathing dragon flew above the New Fantasyland area of Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom on the night of Dec. 5, 2012, during a private grand opening party. The dragon isn't scheduled to make any future appearances, but you never know. Keep an eye to the sky on your next visit.

Do you people really feel the need to ruin the Disney magic by saying that the dragon is fake? Were you born without the sense of imagination? Not cool.

[@midnightdarkfrost]

I agree. That just takes the fun out of it.

[@tscream80]

It's a hell of a piece of engineering. 'Nugh said. They ever get around to fixing up Dinoland at Wild Kingdom, I hope they use this for pterosaurs.

[@cutsieproductions4805]

I can’t be the only one who thinks this should be a annual thing...like they have a dragon that flies around and can do meet-and-greets with guests. It could travel around the park, ( by flying ) and could stop when people wanted to meet it. Anyone with me?

WHEW! I actually for a minute thought that dragons were real, and that we were going to be overrun with them.....until I read the comments and found out it was fake. thank you thank you all who cleared this up, now I don't have to build a bug-out shelter this weekend.....

[@freddyblack319]

Not all dragons are mean in games,books,or movies dude

[@kathyv553]

ImHereForPearlJamVid why do you think that it was not real just because you came down to the comments doesn't mean anything these people don't want to believe that it is real then let then but you believe that it was real before you came down here .

I kind of just cried a little. Hearing the cheers of the guests, and the kids screaming and laughing. It just shows how much magic they create. well done WDW :)

I mean its obviously an animatronic but thats still cool as heck

[@MoonLitCat]

I'm a 20 year old college student and even though yes, the dragons not real. That still doesn't mean you can't marvel at what went into making this creature seem so real. And I don't know about you, but I kind of don't want to know. It doesn't matter if your a kid or an adult, your allowed to wonder and marvel.

[@kelceyclark9917]

That's neat!

[@MonsterNoUtage]

Got chills watching this, it's just too awesome! I know each Disney Park is different but I think it would be nice if they had a place to see the dragon, or another dragon look alike, up close like the little hidden cave in Disneyland Paris : )

[@justimagine2403]

Incredible! Tiny little pieces of totally awesome MAGIC! Our world will be so much better when science invents magic. Hope it is soon!

[@ThatWhiteGurlLaney]

That is so amazing

[@celestiawinters667]

I really want to know how they pulled this off! It looked almost like an animatronic, but I know it wasn’t! They should really bring it back!

[@smasher.338]

It is animatronic. Its hanging from a guy on a paraglider. (A parachute, and the guy has a prop on his back that keeps him in the air.) its a really cool effect, they could do all kinds of characters like that. Ive read dumbo, star wars characters, ect.

[@hdifidjaq]

Its cool

[@Gonk]

Very cool :)

[@Padernoster]

OMG the Comments... lol. Yes, it is not a real Dragon. Of course it is not real. Obviously. Or do you think the Antimatronic Dragon beneath the Castle is real too?

[@gbird.]

Lmao rip the parade dragon is dead

:( I thought is was real :(

It's one of the shows conducted at the park!

[@FlameShogun.]

Can you imagine if someone was terrified by dragons and they had to leave the park

[@marieyoung4391]

I very much agree with you

[@JorgeSaenz1913]

AMAZING

[@jenniewilliams8192]

Notice the parachute when illuminated by the clouds and fire/fireworks coming out. It could possibly be remote controlled or audio-animatronic with the parachute being the only thing keeping it air-bound. Then again it may be a dragon still learning to fly and for its safety it has that parachute. I mean, it is disney!

I'm to old to be a kid but I still wonder. It was awsome!!!!

I know you guys can’t see or can see, but above this robotic fake dragon 🐉 has a parachute attached to it on the top of its back.👍

[@crazyanimalgirl101]

Cool

[@wulver2851]

Dear all the people who say it's fake. No duh!!! FANTASY should have given you the hind. If not that then MAGIC kingdom. It's just one of Disney's little thing they have that is new. Not so little but hey, tinkerbell flats out from the castle there. Disney's focus around was for little kids. Kinda like you are walking past Santa in malls. That's for the kids. Your saying, not real, it's impossible. Yes all the later teens and adults know it's not real. More than anything for those groups is how they made it.

I know. It's a bummer. I wish they had it forever. :}

[@TheCrazyCoasterKid]

It is supposed to look like fire. I think it looks cool. Especially the way it glitters/glows after the dragon breathes it out. It also looks better from a different angle. If you were looking at the dragon from the side it looks like the "fire" goes straight out of its mouth.

[@seowkokgoh9168]

I went at Fantasylands and i saw that dragon too. Its called a muladerin dragon

... I would probably cry seeing this and I'm 20. When I was a little girl, yes, I liked unicorns and ponies, but my FAVORITES were the Dragons. I would probably break down crying a little bit if I saw this in person, now. I've always wanted to see a dragon, whether real or fake, flying in the sky that looked "real".
