Dopey takes a fall at WDW Fantasmic!

Well, at least he "kept his head", and if the rumors are true then hopefully the poor CM got to keep their job!
 

I see I am not the only ne that watched it a few times.


Such a freak occurrence. Thank goodness dopey didn't fall all the way to the water
 
Wow! Just watched the video and while I cracked up because it was such a spectacular fall (also because it had to be Dopey), I am glad to hear that the CMs are okay. When I heard Dopey fell, I just thought he slipped and fell back onto the floor and didn't realize he fell between the railings. What are the chances of that!
 
I wonder how deep that water is? Probably not more than a few feet. If the actor (and for the sake of simplicity I'm going to assume the cast member inside the suit was a guy) had fallen into the water, he'd probably have been OK if he could have stood on his feet. But if he had lost consciousness or couldn't get on his feet, that heavy, water-soaked costume could have dost him his life.

The water is probably full of oil and polluted and full of bacteria. I know Disneyland's Rivers of America (where they do Fantasmic!) uses oil to light the water on fire. There's also cables and the track for the riverboat. Plenty of reasons to stay out of the water.

I have not heard any rumors. Why on Earth would Dopey lose his job?
Reportedly, if the character's head comes off and the CM is "exposed", it's a fire-able offense per Disney rules regardless of circumstances.
 
Was it raining that night?

Think of all the poor children who had to witness that.....FREE TICKETS AND FAST PASSES FOR EVERYONE!!!!!!
