Bye bye dragon float, signed WDW liability division.

What did it set fire to?

 

[BigAlsGal]

Oh no. Hope it’s nothing major.

 

[DisFanDad]

Not sure and nothing major i.dont think.... people literally ran .... they stopped parade and evacuated characters and CMs. Now have it roped off and can't get close.

The float itself caught fire. It didn’t light anything on fire.

Certainly we all hope there are no injuries, but truthfully I think this float will now get shelved (at least temporarily).

What a shame!

I know it’s a fake dragon but it’s still suffering.

People being taken away on stretchers ....

Based on this one the dragon is gonna need a serious renovation.

That’s crazy! Hope everyone’s ok.

I can imagine this is the last time the dragon will breathe fire, though I can see the float returning if it isn’t too damaged

Do we know how or why people would’ve been hurt? Being trampled by running people maybe? Not sure how the fire itself would’ve caused injury to anyone other than maybe the float operator.

RIP, Dragon.

maybe from smoke inhalation if it got low enough? Though likely could be being trampled by other panicked guests

I agree; I think it might be the last time we see it with the "real" fire.
