Related: About this forumMassive fire breaks out at Disneyland park
KTLACitizen video captured by parkgoers shows massive flames fully engulfing Maleficents dragon prop on stage. The flames first ignited from the dragons face before spreading to the rest of its body.
During the final showing of Fantasmic at Disneyland park on Saturday evening, the dragon caught fire. Anaheim Fire & Rescue quickly responded and the fire was extinguished. All cast members were evacuated from Tom Sawyer Island. Due to smoke and wind, attractions near the island were safely cleared of any guests, and the cause of the fire remains under investigation at this time.

I wonder if DeSantis has any idea yet how outmatched he is by Disney's ability to handle a situation.

Of course the MAGAs are paying attention.
First question. Ronny isn't smart enough to coordinate but there are outsider sympathizers who could.

(1,690 posts)Just because it's not in Florida doesn't mean that some other person hasn't been motivated by DeSantis and right wing rhetoric to attack Disneyland. Their Pride show may have been enough to motivate someone from Shasta to come down and share.

Thanks for posting. Looks like a heck of a mess to clean up and repair.

(59 posts)that Disneyland CA is in Buena Park, Orange County, CA. Orange
County runs notoriously Republican. It doesn't stretch
the imagination too far to consider the possibility of some
local RWNJ kids infiltrating the park and trying to sabotage
things. This event needs to be carefully investigated before
there's a real tragedy.
There's a reason SoCal locals say "Don't mess with The Mouse"...
