  • is this year round or only at certain times

  • they should have given mickey a keyblade

  • Maleficent!

  • Wow, that dragon looks incredible! :D

  • This is the best video of the new fantasmic dragon. I love all of the different camera angles.

  • i am planning on going to disneyland california but people say its too old and not worth it and very dissapointing so is it true what they say?? i want to know so i can book my visit there

  • @meygan890 Disneyland is SOOOOOOOO worth it, I Love Disneyland never gets old for me and I've been there 4 times, every time I go I never want to leave. As they say it is the most magical place on earth. There is so much to see and do there, I highly recommend it.

  • Mickey, what are you doing?! Get out of there!!

  • This job must be terrifying. You have to pray the dragon moves to the correct position to where the fire doesn't point towards you, pray the pressure makes sure the fire dosent go to far, so many factors.

  • Why does mickey mouse have to shake if bon bons all the time???!

  • is there a person in a costume dressed as maleficent walking around in the park, because i really want to see her in real life.

  • Between this dragon and tokyo's fantasmic dragon, both are uniquely featuring great features. Disneyland has the "size" and the effect that the dragon came to life from the screen. The tokyo comes to life through the screen literally. All in all, I love both dragons. :)

  • cool I'll have to make shur I watch it when i go to Disney with my friends.

  • what a witch...lol...well, ACTUALLY she's a fairy but whateves...

  • I will always remember the first time I saw Fantasmic as a child in Disneyland. That was the night I fell in love with the Disney Villains, namely Maleficent. I've been to Disney parks six times since then and every time I see this show, even though I know how it ends, I still hope that Maleficent will succeed. Obviously, I always leave disappointed. :/

  • this is dragon abuse O__O

  • Mickey kills a dragon and stills have a smile on his face xD how cute hahahaha!

  • @stephygtz1 Lol.

  • take that dragon bitch

  • He's back!!!¡!

  • 2 Pepole Liked The Old Dragon

  • Awww wth! Why does malificent look better in DL than in DW Dx

  • So this is how mickey inspires kids................. by killing a dragon?

  • @noodlefan33 you mean standing up to your fears and overcoming them to grow stronger?

  • @noodlefan33 The show is pretty intense, actually. Very cool and entertaining.

  • @noodlefan33= Hey, it's kill or be killed. If you saw a dragon about to fry your brains, wouldn't you smote it on the spot? I would. Mostly cause it's skull would look great planted in my front yard.

  • @vigo894 The skull from malifecents dragon head would look awesome.

  • OMG I HAD A DREAM BOUT THIS DIDNT KNOW IT WAS REAL WELL THE DRAGON YA BUT LIKE THE BOAT AND WATER AND THE BOAT GOES IN A TUNNEL IN MY DREAM ITS SOOO AWESOME LOL

  • I WENT IN AUGUST FFS LOL IT WASNT THERE CUZ WE WENT EARLY AUGUST

  • HAHA Love Disney, so love this, but come on, who didn't like that old extremely crappy dragon? XD Grew up with that

  • 0:42 What's funny about that is you can see the cord for the sword XD. AT DW,they hide that very good,but looks like DL isn't very good at hiding secrets XD.

    I still think Murphy is very impressive♥

  • Mickey picks up the Sword of a Thousand Truths.

    Mickey attacks Onyxia for 9,001 damage.

    Onyxia dies.

    Mickey gains 10 xp and 5 gold.

  • My dream job is to play her in this show. 

  • I remember seeing this at Disney World several years back... I wonder if they've updated it since... Either way, the idea of Mickey fighting all the Disney villains is so AWESOME I have to check it out again sometime!

  • @dazzerd - Paris has the dragon under the castle.

  • i guess two people must not like the new dragon because its not the way they remembered it

  • didnt they have this dragon in the cave underneath the castle........unless im thinking of the paris one

  • I remember going to Disneyland and it was just a whim! My friend Brett and I saw the new dragon work for the VERY first time! Sadly, the dragon wasn't working longer than a year, it collapses :( Hope Disney can get Murphy the Dragon back into working condition and try to keep it from constantly breaking down

  • This is Disneyland, cuz at like 56 seconds, you can see splash mountain on the left of the screen. Splash mountain in WDW is in frontierland. not critter country

  • correction he collapsed last night

  • just found out he collapsed tonight. poor Murphy!

  • it was soo funny ! i when to disneyland yesterday and Murphy or Malificiant fell down! in the middle of the show! they tried to improvise but it was no use it was

    ( I )then it was (_)= murphy

  • Dragon appearance always reminds me of Ronnie James Dio Sacred Heart Tour show in 1985. Rest in Peace RJD! WDW doesn't have this version of the dragon, yet, but the one it has is great non the less. I'm partial to WDW only because I've been there over 30 times in my lifetime and never been to Disneyland. But if I get there, I'll enjoy it just the same, because it's a DISNEY PARK/RESORT.

  • At first I was very skeptical about Murphy, but after seeing this in Person I have to say that the new dragon is awesome!

  • i love disneyland because it has walt disneys true touch. the others just seem like flashy imitations

  • Well I was sure dissappointed yesterday. IT DIDN'T SHOW UP!!

  • @skellington15 Lol. That happends, occasionally. In BOTH productions! :)!

  • @elphabasfriend001 What's the "both" mean?

  • @skellington15 Both at Walt Disney World Resort and DisneyLand Resort, on certain nights, she will not appear. Cat Members have an inside joke that she is pms'ing. Lol. When, this happens, Malificent will remain - ot, n place of the a.a.. :)!!

  • @skellington15 Ya, sometimes Murphey doesn't come out. It's a big dragon, and sometimes there are a few technical difficulties that come with it. :( But they're getting better at it!

  • That dragon is awesome! :-)

  • oh my god, that dragon's huge! much better than the other one! incredible. [:

  • @JPegProduction no they both heve it but this ones at DL.

    WDW dragon and DL dragon thers just o comparison.

    DL

  • @JPegProduction No, this is from Disneyland in California.

  • @JPegProduction= No, I've been to Disney World. The dragon doesn't look as good as the one here. The Disneyland version is better.

  • @JPegProduction

    You're a dumbass.

  • WOW! Thats violent. You sure this is good for children to see?

  • @neomrdo lol

  • it had to be taken down for a bit because while they were testing it it's head blew off so they had to fix it. I've seen it quite a few times in shows its amazing.

  • I saw that two days ago, and it was awesome!

  • Every single time I've been to Disneyland, Fantasmic had been cancelled for the night. :(

  • @xSplatterPaintx 4 real??? :((

  • @PoisionberryPooptart

    Yep. To this day, I haven't gotten to see it. We have terrible luck with this attraction. Last time, we waited two whole hours in front of the lake so we would have good spots, only for it to be announced -in the last 15 minutes!- that it would be cancelled due to "bad weather conditions"! There was barely a breeze! All the kids were crying, it was terrible having to go home like that.

  • @xSplatterPaintx Aww :((

  • @xSplatterPaintx I think it was due to high winds. The same thing happend to my family once. Luckily, I have seen it, many times. Better luck to you next time!

  • i have just one thing to say. DRAGONS RULE!! Yes i like teh sleeping beauty movie but only for the Dragon scene!!

  • @Darkwing2654 That's what I always say! lol

  • *Shudders in awe of Disney's technology*

  • Omg, the new dragon looks BADASS! It actually looks like Maleficent! Grr, I want to go see this, now! :O

  • nice dragon but retarded on how mickey kills it...

  • are they going to ever make a new dragon for disney world? cause i really want to go back, but also want to see the new dragon

  • @SxyChicDisney

    No plans have been announced for an updated Fantasmic! in FL. But i won't give up hope yet. Maybe one day, they'll make a new Dragon for it.

  • ok good cause my parents said the next time we go back will be florida in 2012 and i want to see the new dragon really bad

  • Doubt it, Indy. Disneyland gets all the glorious/better stuff & even stuff we don't have. They've been using the same parade at MK for about 10 years. That's what I call "not ever, ever, EVER making changes".

  • i luv this wuz my favorite part of disneyland

  • so azaming! and so much kewler than the last dragon! thankyou for uploading

  • I thought the old dragon was too primitive; this new one actually looks like Maleficent.

  • tha show was great ! but when i went there was mad flys!

  • que binito todo eso y todo tan real

  • This Dragon Is BADASS. The WDW Dragon Is Bad And ASS

  • @Tonytambe it may not be a full out animatronic like this, but the one in WDW is still pretty good : /

  • the new dragon looks awesome!

  • Do Mickey use a eletric sword? New thing.

  • i seriously hate that i never saw him live. i go like every weekend because i have a pass, and yet everytime im there, its malificient :(

  • That's really cool everyone always says this dragon is better then at Disney World just bcuz its insanely cool at DL doesn't mean its not cool at WDW right?

  • OMG thats insane!! I hope at some point they do this at WDW too. Sure the Dragon there looks cool but this one is AWESOME!

  • i love this dragon.....i think they should add the kraken from potc!it wont happen but it would be cool

  • @mumupy

    Ugh! Noo, no kraken!! D: Fantasmic is all about 2d magic *-* The best Disney ever :D

    *** OMG! I love that dragon, WDW's dragon is cool but THIS is perfect! *o*

    GO MALEFICENT!!!

  • I love dragon!!

    Anyone want to learn Japanese or Chinese?

  • This is so much better, what the hell. I want to see this now.

  • during the vid, first murphy's eyes were red. then they turned yellow!

  • who is murphy!?

  • @famousemusic Murphy's the dragon and why the dragon is given the name Murphy is because of Murphy's law

  • but i thought the dragon was maleficent and what is the murphy's law?

    please tell me, cuz i want to know!

  • the new dragon!

  • oh! yeah i got that maleficent the dragon was now nick-named "Murphy" but i dont know why they changed to that name!! its still maleficent! :D

    thx anyway lol

  • Oh my gosh that's cool!

  • beautiful

  • they are still working on the dragon. when mickey's firework pops from his sword a firework is supost to pop in murphey's mouth but it doesn't always work

  • I like the new upgraded dragon. It is much better than the frame and fabric dragon in the previous version. What is most impressive though is that the new dragon shoots fire some 20+ feet away now as opposed to the 10 feet as before. Now the flames can actually hit the water thus improving the illusion of the water actually catching on fire.

  • To tell you the truth I'm not a big fan of Murphy. Don't get me wrong we do need change and this is great but, Murphy just seems like another animatronic to me, because I see a lot now a days. I guess I grew to fond of the old dragon, to appreciate this one :< Please don't give me a thumbs down just because I'm not a BIG fan of Murphy.

  • @GirFan501 ,

    "To tell you the truth I'm not a big fan of Murphy. Don't get me wrong we do need change and this is great but, Murphy just seems like another animatronic to me, because I see a lot now a days."

    Not sure what you mean by "see a lot now a days", do you work for Disneyland or with animatronics? Nonetheless, you have to consider that the dragon is one of the biggest animatronic they have ever had, so it's not just like another animatronic in terms of size and what it can do.

  • Yes, I son work for Disneyland, and I do know it is one of the biggest. But I don't know :I

  • I HAVE THE CHILLS! (IN A GOOD WAY)

  • THAT'S WHAT DISNEY'S HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS IN FLORIDA NEEDS!!

    Why can't Disney World in Florida have something like that?! I'm jealous!! We in Florida get stuck with a downgraded Dragon, while people in Disneyland in California get an upgraded Dragon!!

    THIS SUCKS!! WE WANT OUR OWN UPGRADED DRAGON!!

    WHO (IN FLORIDA) IS WITH ME?!

    YAY OR NAY?!

  • Ofcourse the FIRST disneyland gets the upgrade

  • Because Disney World always gets the fame, the spotlight, and all the cool rides/shows, etc. It's time that Disneyland finally got a major change for once. The last thing we need is another replica in WDW.

    Besides, the people in Disney World's Fantasmic have no desire to change anything to Fantasmic anytime soon as long as their show is the highest and greatest.

  • @hahayezzar Just FYI WDW has been getting alot of the stuff sent out to the from the DLR, so yes they may have some originals but they also have a lot of stuff that originiated in California and was packed up and sent WDW

  • @PrismPhoenix WDW doesnt have a pit under the stage because its a swamp....so its all most impossible to have a dragon like that roll out the side of the mountain......

  • Okay. You guys got me there. Good point.

  • @PrismPhoenix HEHEHE :D

  • Comment removed

  • ''MURPHY'S EYES''

  • Will they be doing the same with the one down at MGM in Florida? because the new Maleficent Dragon is just awesome! :)

  • ummm idk but they could

  • This is far better than the older dragon. Fantasmic is like the best show ever. Even the Remember...Dreams Come True fireworks show. Nobody can beat Disneyland or WDW.

  • the dragon is my favorite part!

  • saw it last night!! so life-like!!!

  • what do you call the the witch that changes into the dragon in californa down here in florida we call here malificent

  • It's still Maleficent. XDDDDD

  • She's Malificent here too... just like in Sleeping Beauty.

  • that is a new big big big big big big big big big big big big big bib big big giant giant giant dragon my god im going on sunday after church to see that baby!!! whooo whooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • So is that an animatronic or a puppet?

  • The new dragon is a really huge animatronic! The moves are programmed this time instead of a CM controlling it with a joystick (which was the case for the old one)

  • Holy SHIT!!! that is amazing. way better than the puppet

  • Maleficent looks monsterous whenever she's a dragon.

  • i thought fantasmic was only at the summer not now the last day for fantasmic aredy passed

  • no its all year i went in january and i saw it 3 times

  • i went and saw the show with no dragon and i was PISSED OFF!! But now that they have this.... im sorry i never trusted you disney!! THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!

  • Oh God, I need a ticket to Disneyland now! I have to see it in person!!!!! O . O

  • Oh man, I have to see it too! Thank the lord for annual passes!

  • I went to Disneyland last night and saw the dragon and I was speechless! But this video doesn't do it much justice. You HAVE to see it in person!

  • O.O

    Now that is a fine dragon if I've ever seen one. The old one they used was so cheap.

  • This video continues to give me chills every time I watch it! I think that they did a great job with Murphy.

  • Better than the puppet style head they used before, have to give them that.

  • YAY!!! The new dragon is awsome, anbody agrees with me

  • damn! such good details

  • *glomps the dragon*

    hello dwaggie

  • I think I actually like the OLD dragon better. While I will agree this one has a much better overall shape, its movements seem too slow and mechanical. Disneyland entertainment should have had Walt Disney Imagineering build the dragon. It would have moved a lot better...

  • I agree, but the programming is not finished yet. It'll be another few months before they get it to bend over and set the river on fire and move faster. Remember, they were set back a few months after it was damaged.

  • it wasnt damaged.

  • I beg to differ, but the dragon did indeed get damaged on June 7 which I belive was 5 days before its scheduled debut. The head DID NOT fall off, the the framing in the neck began to get stress fractures. But who cares, IT's HERE NOW!!!!!!!!

  • The head DID fall off. I have a friend that has been working there for over 30 years and knows what he's talking about. My boyfriend also works there and reported that the head DID in fact, fall off at 6:00 AM during a testing period for the dragon. They were testing for the emergency stops for the dragon and the head blew off, smacked into the chest and stomach of the dragon, damaging it for the summer. It's been working for two weeks now after 5 tests.

  • I don't know, the side that i heard from numerous employees was that the neck had some type of failure and it ceased to continue supporting the head, which then dipped down and smacked the chest. That's just the side I heard.

  • i cant wait to go back. i love fantasmic. we watched it twice and once in th reserved seating. :)

  • Now there's a Maleficent Dragon I like!

  • We finally got to see the new dragon on person this week while in California for the D23 Expo. Didn't spit fire last night but it did tonight and it looked great!

  • So you hard about Star Tours getting the pink slip next year?

  • the part where the dragon let out the fire (a.k.a flamethrower) was awsome

  • impresive

  • O.O im very amazed by the new dragon at disney land it looks like the real dragon from sleeping beautie they did a nice job

  • OMG ! It is BRILLANT !

    I'm a huge WDW fan and I also rather the Hollywood Studios Fantasmic version (the theming and I also think the Pocahontas part is a lot more exciting and thrilling), BUT Disneyland Fantasmic deserved this new and awesome dragoon ! I think with the Sleeping Beauty castle, now the dragon founded a pretty home :)

    Now, hoping for a new changes at WDW version *-*

  • Well, hopefully you guys will get a new dragon soon. I haven't been to WDW yet but I've seen enough videos of FL's Fantasmic! to convince me that your show is overdue for some updates.

  • Disneyland fanatics should also get excited another return of Captain EO. WDI is installing new Captain EO special effects to prepare the theater for Thur's private performance Jay Rasulo for the D23 Expo. It will remain till Halloween & return Jan-Dec 2010!

  • SEROUSLY!!!??????? whoooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • OMG it looks awesome!

  • Yeah this would freak the hell out of kids lol

    the rainforest cafe there made my 4 year old brother cry

    but this would make him shit his pants

  • XD my cousin wouldn't be scared he loves the dragon scene when he sees this he'll be like WOW

  • wow so thats how its supposed 2 look like when i went 2 c the newer version of the fantasmic they left out the crocodile and the big dragon

  • waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaa :3333

    Maleficent's Dragon is awesome!!!

  • im going on sunday 10/11 to watch fantasmic and go on ghost galaxy(space mtn and hm holiday!)

  • I'm going on monday just to see the dragon!!

  • They warn people ahead of time that Fantasmic may be frightening for younger viewers. Everything can't be baby friendly, they'd lose a lot of business.

  • if ur scared of fantasmic...you're really a wimp. this is cool

  • jonasguard, why are you such a crybaby? It's far from "too violent for a Disney park." Maleficent's dragon is part of Disney canon, numskull.

  • PonfuckTim, Don't be such an Asshole Moron. Grow some balls and learn what you are talking about.

  • Haven't you figured out yet that no one likes you?

  • one word to jonasguard PWNED

  • onirule, PWNED to you.

  • Dude, chill. I didn't bring you into anything. Peace out.

  • thanks dude peace

  • PonFucksTim, Asshole, grow up. It is scary for little kids like you. That is why they have warnings for you little guys. I realize you don't like me, that's a plus in my book. As far as everyone else, I guarantee more people love me than those who can tolerate you.
