Just before I shipped out to Orlando to help open EPCOT Center in '82, I had occasion to visit the Disney Studio and watched the filming of one of the Figment scenes used at the end of the ride (which included the mountain climber, song-and-dance man, superhero, cowboy, etc.) which you referred to in your article. These dragons were not audio-animatrons at all! They were hand-operated puppets, shot against blue screen and operated by puppeteers wearing matching blue costumes so as not to be seen onscreen.<br /><br />While I can't tell you which charred and dessicated dragon pictured above was used in which scene of the ride, I'm fairly certain that they were not used in those film loops.Dreemfinderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12604572363076670321noreply@blogger.com
