I recall the fire effect only ran for a short time just after the park opening,before it was stopped ! It is mentioned in the first Eurodisney guide book that was published !

I have just received an email from Terri Jackson ,the Imagineer who designed the Dragon.She confirmed that the Dragon did breathe fire for a short time,but the effect was withdrawn for safety reasons. There were concerns that if the Animatronics failed and the Dragon did not lift its head to a safe position ,that the fire effect would still operate and if you were stood in the wrong place ..... !!!

Oh, that's a shame! I wonder if there is a video of the effect available somewhere.

wow! i can see why they stopped it then!- would have made the dragon just a touch too scary to say the least. its a shame they couldnt work out some sort of safety switch to deactivate the flames should the animatoranics break
