Ok we've seen the Dragon and I have to say I miss the head on a stick. That's not to say the new dragon wasn't cool looking, it was. There was not a lot of movement however. It just looked stiff.
Now I'm sure that these problems are just growing pains from the development hell that imagineers have had to go through to get her up and running, and in time the movement will become more fluid, but as it stands the dragon was all hype and no substance. One more thing to note during the video of the Villian's death thralls there are a couple of fireworks that illuminate the dragon while it descends into the bowels of Tom Sawyer's Island in a completely shut down state.
All in all, as Polar said to me, "It needs work."

Yes, you're right, the dragon does need work (from what I've heard, I haven't seen it yet) but from what I've heard it also doesn't do everything yet, it's like they're afraid to did it all right away, which in light of all the problems they've had with him is understandable.

Yeah.
From what I understand dragon has not been performing correctly all the time. The flame breath seems to having issues, especially.

I will say that's its nice to have a full body dragon in the show though.

On a side note, its really silly to me how much those Disney fans boards obsessed over it.

The way it is now, its cool looking. Yes its a little stiff and hopefully when Fantasmic goes on break they can do more work on it.

Still, I'm glad that it finally showed up.

I know what you mean DisneyGuy about the fans being 'obsessed'. On the 'other' boards it's like, "My life wont be complete if the dragon is'nt out tonite". "My vacation was ruined b/c there was no dragon".

A good time is what I strive for. Over on board X,one thread is about someone 'planning' right down to the nano-second. Geeeze.
When to get up,time to eat,restroom breaks.

I heard about a guy who schedules sex around the US Open tennis matches. Turns out the hookers in Times Square offer a US Open special. For an extra $20 they'll tell you it's in.
