(CBrief) – A massive fire broke out at Disneyland causing an evacuation of one of the popular rides at the famed theme park.
The fire occurred during a “Fantasmic!” performance at the Tom Sawyer Island attraction where a 45 foot tall animatronic dragon, some refer to as “Murphy” was engulfed, The New York Post reported.
Multiple videos posted on social media captured the Maleficent Dragon’s head engulfed in flames mid-performance.
A thick black smoke plume was seen rising from the location across the 100-acre theme park.
The show was abruptly stopped as guests and Disneyland cast members were rushed away from the scene as emergency personnel extinguished the fire, which was seen spreading down the body of the giant dragon.
“Due to unforeseen circumstances, this performance of “Fantasmic!” cannot continue,” an announcer said. “We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and hope you enjoy the rest of you evening here at Disneyland.”
