Disneyland has opted to extinguish signature flamethrower effects from its nighttime fireworks and water shows in the wake of the stunning technical failure that led to the “Fantasmic” dragon bursting into a towering inferno.

Disneyland has temporarily suspended fire effects in “Wondrous Journeys” and “World of Color — One” out of an abundance of caution following the “Fantasmic” prop fire, according to Disneyland officials.

Disney has temporarily suspended fire effects similar to those used at Disneyland’s “Fantasmic” at select shows and entertainment experiences globally following the Maleficent dragon fire on Saturday, April 22, according to Disney officials.

“Wondrous Journeys” features skyward flamethrower-like effects on the Fantasyland rooftops around Sleeping Beauty Castle during the fireworks show. “World of Color — One” also features similar fire effects in Paradise Bay during the water show.

The Isopar cannons are capable of shooting 50-foot flames into air during “Wondrous Journeys” and “World of Color.”

The flame effects used during nighttime spectaculars at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure create quickly dissipating smoke rings that have been confused for UFOs by bewildered Disneyland visitors.
