Fire-Breathing Flying Dragon Appears Over Disney World [VIDEO]
A Fire-breathing dragon in Florida? To celebrate the opening of new Fantasyland, Disney World's largest expansion in 41 years, a flying dragon appeared above Cinderella's Castle in Florida last night, as the new area's guardian against evil.
As the story goes, there was a curse cast upon Fantasyland long ago, which was lifted, doubling the area in size. Actually a variation of an ultralight vehicle, the dragon is a manned aircraft powered by an engine and assisted by a parachute overhead.
Not a regularly scheduled part of the park experience, future opportunities to view the dragon are unclear.
"Indeed your eyes didn't deceive you. Our dragon made a brief appearance as part of celebrating the grand opening of New Fantasyland. You never know where or when a dragon might appear again!" Disney spokesman Rick Sylvain told Inside The Magic.
