Remember the Dragon?

Such a shame that something this cool was only used once. Bring it back!!!

I agree that the dragon was extremely cool. But in the video, it seemed to me that the "magic" was exposed when it breathed fire (the light of the flame seemed to reveal the glider for a split-second). Perhaps this was even more obvious in person and they decided that it wouldn't be convincing. Also, depending on whether it's a very dark night with little moon or a full moon could make a huge difference in what is and isn't visible. Still, it would be amazing if they brought it out now and then when conditions were right.

I have to imagine they tested it out before flying it in front of a bunch of reporters.

I have to imagine they tested it out before flying it in front of a bunch of reporters.

They did test it in California's Central Valley... over fields free of people. It probably was a safety issue. That's why it only flew on a Media Night when the crowds were concentrated in one area and the dragon flew over empty portions of the park.
