The fact that imagineers have made something as majestic and terrifying as this makes me even sadder that beastly kingdom doesnt exist
I'm still mad at Disney for that.
Yeah and now we have pandora instead. I wish they made beastly kingdom :/
@@theogpinkyboo same here. I think what they did with Pandora is neat and super well done, but Beastly Kingdom could have been super cool too
Alexandria Nation pandora is amazing but I really wish we got beastly
Maybe they can turn the abandoned river boat ride into beastly kingdom that way they can see dragons, unicorns, griffins, krakens and much more as they hoped they would in the first place
Don't be fooled. In real life this dragon is much more realistic and scarier. I still get scared approaching it and I'm 21! My first experience with it was when I was 8 and I straight up cried the whole time 😂
I'm 21 and just watching the video I know it would probably freak me out in person too
SAME!!!!
Hahaha same! That dragon is straight up scary.
Never been there but is it scary because it so much bigger than you?
P V same here
Fun fact: This dragon is NOT meant to be Maleficent. According to the backstory of the attraction, the dragon (who happens to be male) was adopted by Merlin when it was still an egg to guard his magic shop.
the one thing that would make everything much better is if american DLR recreated this same dragon but made it into maleficent herself to fit with the theming
That’s a missed opportunity for it not to be maleficent
Personally, I enjoy the story with Merlin adopting the dragon more.
Why does the sign have Maleficent ears on it then?
I think you mean horns, not ears
I got to meet Terri Harden, the Disney imagineer who got design and create this attraction. Insane amount of detail and devotion to her work, when she was describing it I had to go online and check it out.
Looking this up on a whim, I found out it was designed by a person named Terri Hardin. I looked her up, and found out that she’s designed an astounding amount of amazing puppets and effects. The stillsuits in Dune, the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man (and other Ghostbuster puppets), the Flintstones movie, Captain EO… that’s just a fraction of what she’s done.
She also designed a ton of iconic Disneyland costumes and ride characters. It’s hard to believe one person could accomplish so much.
This Dragon has been there since the beginning
Prachtig mooi
ye, i remember when i was a kid and went there and i was terrified of that dragon
Its was black before tho
They built around her because she refused to move.
Allegedly in the beginning, the dragon also breathed fire at the guests when it woke up. Sadly that feature got removed for safety reasons soon after.
the design and movement on this thing are absolutely gorgeous, it's a lot more lifelike than you'd expect! i feel like i'd be terrified being in the same room as this dragon but watching it from a safe distance i'm mesmerized 😍
Wow the way it wakes up and roars makes it look almost real! It's beautiful in a way
I remember when I was younger my dad took me down here and told me that this dragon ate children for his dinner and I was next 😂
Same, but my grandpa told me😂. Nightmares for life!
That's the most Dad thing a dad could say.
I dig how you slowly walked down the tunnel. It gave it some ominousness. Maybe I've watched too much "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter?" The dragon looks fantastic!
Her wings flap too. She's gorgeous!!!
Male
When I was little I used to stand there, waiting for the dragon to roar for hours. I can’t wait to spend my time staring at a dragon animatronic all day.
This is super awesome!! But it doesn't move his tail. It would be great to splash his tail in the water.
she*
Josh Dohme, Perhaps it is a Male dragon. hehehe :-)
eurossocial in sleeping beauty the evil queen turns into a dragon so its a female
Josh Dohme well, it isn't specifically stated that it's maleficent. While it IS sleeping beauty's castle, the dragon has no resemblance to maleficent's dragon form. Even with the horns on the sign in the front.
It's Merlin's Dragon :)
I saw this as a kid in my only visit to Disneyland and LOVED it! This guy's been in my memories ever since and it's still in my memory to this day and I know deep down, I'm gonna have a new encounter with this magnificent predator.
Same here
disneyland has a new fantasmic dragon, disneyland paris has this badass dragon, and we have.....a head on a stick. when are we going to get a new dragon? it's not fair.
CeletialDarkness Your dragon budget is going to the new Frozen ride.
ThatHauntFreak2 FROZEN RIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?
Frozen is old and boring..
SlytherinYourBed
I wouldn't say Frozen is old, maybe stale at this point. Don't get me wrong, Frozen wasn't a bad movie and the music IS good (with the exception of "Fixer Upper") but the way it's being shoved down our throats in the parks is ridiculous and has made a lot of people sick of it.
I remember going here but the gate was closed but there was a jewelry shop inside the castle and behind it a small door, and the curious little me went back there and saw it and shitted himself went back out quicker then i got in lmao
2:15 Dragon: SHUT UUUUUUUUP I'M TRYING TO TAKE A NAP!!!
May I use this footage in a video Im making about the scariest Disney animatronics? I will give your channel full credit.
Sure
@@nathanguion4663 They're not asking you lol
This is my first time even knowing that this exists and IT IS AMAZING! I NEED TO GO TO DISNEYLAND PARIS MAINLY FOR THIS😱
This dragon looks so intimidating and so darn cool!
Wtf I have been there 15 times and I never knew this existed 😱 I’m going there tomorrow
Well how much is it
@sTaTiiC_Upsurge I’m a Khaleeji so our salaries and currency is pretty high. I’m a middle class person in my country but rich when I travel
The chap that did all the lights and metalwork just did a video on how he and his mum and dad made them. He's called Craig Jones and it's on his Doghouse Customs channel.
Weird childhood storytime: my parents took us for a holiday to Disneyland when I was 4, and I became absolutely enamoured with this dragon. For the duration of the trip, first thing I wanted to do was go say good morning to my dragon friend, and before the park closed I had to go say good night. Last thing I did when we left was go say goodbye, and I bawled my eyes out, promising I would never forget my friend and I would come back one day. The dragon/Maleficent became my imaginery friend for the rest of my childhood.
I'm uncertain if my dragon phase predated this event or if this is what kickstarted it, but surprising no one, I grew up to be a ridiculously huge fantasy nerd.
(Also yes, I have been to Disneyland two times since, and I have indeed always made sure to pop by and say hi)
Me too! I lived in fr and visited the dragon frequently because i loved him so much as a kid🥰 he was very scary though and i would always dash out whenever he begun moving when i was little 🤣 I would wait for my father to give me the go ahead that he was back to sleep and i could come back and admire him again 😅
this is so wholesome thank you sm for sharing this
First time I saw this as a kid the park was still called "Euro Disney" It's still so impressive all these years later the imagineers can make anything come true
I remember going there when I was little it actually breathed fire traumatised me
When i was there, in 1994, the Dragon was black. I have two photos from that time in not so good quality. I have a big fear about animatronics. I was not on the Nautilus.
I was there in 2007 and it was black. It's black in the movie.
I knew I didn't just dream that! I must have been around 10 when my family first went there in the 90s, and I'm sure it was darker in the cave with a black dragon! (It seemed bigger, too, but that was probably just because I was a fairly short kid) I think my parents still have an old and grainy photo somewhere...
Satanen Perkele yup it was stopped due to people like me (asthmatics)sorry👌
I was in 1994 and it looked like this tho..
This being near Sleeping Beauty Castle got me thinking- what if that’s Maleficent, trapped in a smaller dragon form and still healing from the battle against Phillip and the many other good forces she’s failed to destroy?
Me when woken up after a long night of drinking...
Sadly this’ll be the closest we get to seeing Beastly Kingdom to ever become a reality 😔
That dragon has a human skeleton.oh really,you could do that but you couldn’t put dead knights around dragons cove on the old animal kingdom boat ride.
Shhhh, it's okay. I'm here to help. Don't eat the help.
Just saw that episode for the first time a week ago!
Very incredible
Lol dragons like " SHUT THE HELL UP, TRYING TO SLEEP"
Did they remake the dragon? I ask because I once saw footage around 15 years ago, & I could have sworn that it was the Malificent dragon chained up...
disney world should make one for the 50th anniversary and disneyland california to
I love this bit of the park
I want to go, solely to see that dragon.
somehow i think this was one the attractions that was supposed to be feature at disney's animal kingdom
Devastated I missed this!!
i remember when i was a kid and went there. I was terrified when i saw that dragon lol
Cool dragon, but the greatest animatronic dragon is none other then Vermithrax Pejorative, from a movie from the 80's called: "DragonSlayer"
I honestly tried to stay quiet when I saw this dragon so I didnt wake it up when I was a kid.
Should be one in Disney World.
Danirep tenía razón da un poco de miedo xd
Jajaja cierto bro
Si
Awesome video!
holy majoyley this is awesome
Walt Disney would have loved this.
I was expecting it was going to breathe fire, does it?
It used too! It was stopped bc it was too scary for guests and was causing problems ie heart/panic attacks and some good old code 2’s, was changed to breathing smoke for awhile and the actions were slowed so that it spent more of its time resting than awake and moving to scare guests. Eventually it finally blew its last plume of smoke and was stopped due to actual health hazards this time(asthma) and was slowed even more. I hope that one day the dragon gets revitalized and will be displayed in its full fire breathing radiance!
Fantasy is slowly coming to life I hope in 50 years we can build a place like Westworld but instead of Western it's fantasy and we can build host dragons. Host means robot by the way in the westworld show.
I didn't even know this was there, i really gotta look better when im going to disneyland again
Defunctland brought me here.
Mouse steps | So good
J'en avais peur quand j'étais petit !!
Moi aussi
if you think this one is cool check out the dragons in the Efteling theme park
Very cool!
Disneyland and Disney world need to this for their castles
Mr.WolfKING 43 It WAS in the castle in Paris in the late 90s. It was TERRIFYING!! I'm 24 now and can still rember!
That. Dragoness, is. Scary.
i was petrified when i went to disneyland and saw this, so creepy
That dragon is so adorable imma go there and say hi even though it’s not real
nah man this looks terrifying
It is! As I child I was TERRIFIED!
Imagine this but in WDW Fantasmic
(I say WDW because they really need a dragon..)
I was 8 when i saw it
I didn't though it was scary, i though that dragon was beautiful
Imagine Dirk the daring meeting the sleeping beauty
How can i get there?
Is that maleficent
Um... I see some bones near the dragon's head... 😟😨
Love Disney Paris :)
I miss the smoke and dark lighting. Don't get me wrong, it's an impressive animatronic but I think it lost some of its bite.
You will be very sad to learn that he used to breathe fire and there were no lights beside some hidden from view in the pond 🥲
Nooooope
Anyone else used to think this thing was real as a kid?
I had no idea this existed and I’ve been twice
In my day we had the Submarine Ride Sea Serpent . . . this is better!
Isn't it La Caniere du Dragon? 99% sure caniére is French for cave :P
+ChoccyMonster16 Nope, it's la Tanière. Which is the french word for Lair :)
Oh...right...whoops...
+ChoccyMonster16 No problem, and the french word for cave is "grotte".
+UberGuGu Cool :) Thanks
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
This is me when I only get 2 hours of sleep
Me who visited disneylamd paris for the second time yesterday and missed the dungeon twice😂
That don't look like Maleficent
Because it's not. The backstory for this attraction is that this is a dragon adopted by Merlin when it was an egg to guard his magic shop. My guess is that the dragon is meant to guard the shop from Madam Mim (and my head canon is that Arthur also helped Merlin to train and take care of him).
I’m here to help you. Don’t eat the help.
Leave it alone it’s tryna fucken sleep god damn y’all
seeing this makes me so angry that they spent millions on pandora at animal kingdom and not on beastly kingdom :’]
Exactly, whenever people start talking about the money and time spent on the stupid avatar animatronic seen for 0.2 seconds on a dumb boat ride i cry in horror.
Anyone else getting Merlin vibes (from the TV show) or is it just me?
Sit dawn potatoes
I wish they had this at disney land California
