"Push" could be considered "low tech" next to these guys...

Maybe the drones could be used to combat the sky writers that insist on pushing their religion overhead.

LOL Jeff!! My friend and I actually joke about that - she was fascinated one day, watching one of these guys - so much so that we had to wait to get a bus to a park, so she could see what he was writing - and he did it "weird" - in htat he didn't do it from left to right, like normal, so it was hard to figure out what his message was going be be. And when he was done, it turned out to be "God loves babies", which threw us both for a loop, not knowing this type of "content" gets sky written there all the time - we both thought it a VERY bizarre message to sky write.

Technology sounds awesome though, k5jmh, thanx for sharing!

Did the MK use drones for the dragon that flew over New Fantasyland?

Kristina,
I hadn't thought about the dragon using that technology. Does anyone know if that was the case? I don't think I ever heard anything about how the dragon operated.

No the dragon was not a drone
SPOILER alert




The dragon was a specially modified para motor set up
You know this giant fans strapped to your back with a parachute
Disney took this basic concept and made a dragon style body the pilot sits in. It was made very well and from a distance it's hard to tell what it is

Too bad this didn't say "Disney may use CLONES in Parks."
THAT would be interesting.

This is really neat. A cool way to stay on the cutting edge of technology.
