Disney testing 'Flying Dragon' for new Avatarland

Jun 23rd 2012 at 4:38

The Bakersfield Californian reports that several eyewitnesses have seen what can only be described as a "Flying Dragon" over Shafter Minter Field Airport. The device appears to be a modified ultralite or microlight , sporting a dragon theme built into its airframe.

It's expected that this is likely for the upcoming Avatarland expansion at Animal Kingdom. The airfield owners were only able to confirm that Disney was in town recently testing equipment. 

Reports from the ground say that the wingspan is around 15 feet. The full article and photos can be found at The Bakersfield Californian.
