Dragon float caught on fire !!!!

[umichigan10]

It will be interesting to watch other Disney floats with fire affects such as the incredibles float in Disneyland and the Maleficent replica in Paris.

I’d expect them to go through a similar process airlines do after an incident (extensive checks of the systems to make sure they’re in working order). Unless it’s really something that they’re concerned about then maybe they’d pull them

Looks like the driver was able to get back win after things were cleaned up and drive it out.

People being taken away on stretchers ....

Oh no.... Shock? Or burns?

The Orlando Sentinel is reporting no injuries.

No injuries reported.

Is the stretcher thing true? I keep seeing that there were zero injuries.

Such a bummer. That was our favorite part of the parade.

At MK NOW .... people running. . Absolute madness ...

Otherwise don't think it's major....

I want to recognize/thank, @DisFanDad, for contributing to this story. I am local, but in no way would have visibility to this event, unless you contributed. With gratitude!

No injuries reported.

Curious where the stretcher report came from? I could see the potential for minor burns. You could see small bits of fire dripping down in the video.

Several outlets have reported no injuries.

This makes me so sad. I really hope there are no injuries! Hearing the crowd reaction to the fire was always a highlight of the parade for me. Safety first though, of course!

The Orlando Sentinel is reporting no injuries.

Fox 35 and WESH 2 are local news outlets. They "should" give updates at 6 PM EDT.

Are you saying the Sentinel is not local?

Several Disney blog/news sites have reported no injuries as well.

The videos I saw I didn't see a lot of panic from the guests or cast members

Not to chest thump, but I worked directly with ONR (Office of Naval Research). They preached to me, safety, safety, safety (although I presented alternates). We all hope for no injuries! But, I surmise, this float will be heavily scrutinized.

Did I quote Sentinel?

I'm wondering about the validity of that. That has not been reported and I am confident there would have been pictures of that by now. It didn't look like a chaotic situation or anything.

You quoted a post that said the Orlando Sentinel is reporting no injuries with this.

Fox 35 and WESH 2 are local news outlets. They "should" give updates at 6 PM EDT.

The sentinel is the same as Fox 35 or WESH 2.
