Anyone know what the movement update insideDLParis mention could be? We really missed this attraction on our Dec visit as it was closed, looking forward to taking our 3yo there next time :)

I've heard the changes have been great. Does anyone have a more detailed explanation of what's changed? :D

Here's a video that was uploaded to YouTube 3 days ago. I don't know if this is the "new" Dragon, but it might be:

The head does seem to move quite a bit. I know in years gone by I've waited for what seemed like ages for it to move, and when it did it was a little look up, swing to the side and down again. If this is a video of the old Dragon then I've obviously just been unlucky!

I think the animation is about four minutes long, so yeah, it may have just been luck. XD

Also, he seemed to breath a lot more smoke than usual in that video, Alan. :D

that looks like more movement, better lighting and smoke effect than before to me. Looks great :)

That is amazing! He (she?) is moving very fast now, something I can not remember from my last visit.

Yes, that's how it looks to me, very snappy and yet much more precise and subtle with the movements of the head and jaw. Fantastic lighting too!

Ah see, so I did find the correct video. Props to myself for finding the Internet's first video of Dragon 2.0 in action :-)

Wow, she looks great in this video.
Can't wait to see the dragon in the park again. I missed it, when we visited Disneyland in November.

The dragon looks more dangerous now. Quick movements and more smoke. :thumbs:  :thumbs:  :thumbs:

How amazing would it be if they could somehow work the fire effect back into her sequence! She looks brilliant with the return of decent amounts of smoke, and the return to a more active effect! Last time I visited, it was just a tail twitch and a claw tap!

I admit, the dragon does look like it's moving faster.

To me it sounded like there was a lot more growling too! Def an improvement, nothing like what we saw in March 2011. Bravo!
