· The new dragon is a fully animated three-dimensional design that replicates the movements of the dragon in “Sleeping Beauty.”
· Maleficent, a classic Disney villain, transforms into a dragon during “Fantasmic!” – just as she does in the famous Walt Disney Pictures film.
· The “Fantasmic!” dragon is 32 feet wide and weighs approximately 18,000 pounds.
· When she stretches to full height, the dragon stands 45 feet tall.
· When she “lurks” beneath the “Fantasmic!” stage prior to appearing, the dragon contracts to 22 feet tall.
· During the spectacular finale, she rises to stage level in 35 seconds on a custom-built elevator.
· Tri-color LED lighting fixtures put the gleam in the dragon’s eyes.
· In her spectacular appearance, Maleficent breathes a plume of fire 35 feet long, lighting the Rivers of America on fire for 25 seconds during the show.
· During the show, the dragon is controlled and monitored by four computer systems.
· The dynamic and menacing animation of the dragon is achieved via 18 axes of motion which enable a wide range of movement in her eyes, ears, mouth, tongue, neck, wings and body.
