Disney World Swoops A Giant Fire-Breathing Mechanical Dragon Over The FantasyLand
#-Link-Snipped-#
Disney World has a new attraction with the grand opening of the New FantasyLand. But what really caught our attention was the debut of a giant dragon who swooped over a crowd of guests before the mega event. This dragon, which is really an ultra light aircraft, has been engineered to operate wirelessly. A single pilot makes it airborne and the setup makes use of an inflatable parawing combined with a rear-mounted fan. So, all you see is an illusion of an autonomously flying beast, because the parawing and cockpit are camouflaged to blend in with the night sky. But, no matter what, with those ferocious sounding roars accompanying the perfect musical score, it's hard not to believe what you're seeing. And again, who doesn't love seeing dragons flying across the sky?
Go ahead and check out the following video from Disney's to see the dragon taking its first flight over Cinderella's castle -
