A fire erupted Saturday night during Disneyland's Fantasmic fireworks and light show, forcing throngs of stunned fans to evacuate the area.
Although the flames erupting from a 45-foot-tall animatronic dragon were dramatic, the Anaheim Fire Department said no injuries were reported, according to KABC.
“It was a big giant fireball. Then they began pushing people out,” said Ryan Laux, 28, a Los Angeles video producer and an annual season passholder who was watching the show near Disneyland's Tom Sawyer Island when the fire broke out.
Laux estimated that about 1,000 park guests had packed the area to watch the spectacular, which normally features digital flames, colored fountains and pyrotechnics. Images and videos shared on social media showed actual flames shooting up over the park.
Witnesses told The Times that spectators were dumbfounded.
The signature show takes place twice nightly, with the second performance beginning at 10:30 p.m. in front of the island. Most of the show takes place in the mist of the Rivers of America, and the audience watches from the banks around New Orleans Square and Frontierland.
The show was coming to its climax, in which Mickey Mouse fights a fire-breathing dragon named Maleficent. But things went awry when the fire breath engulfed the dragon's head, then spread to the rest of the body, Laux said.

What's behind the feud? The row with Disney - which opened the city-scale Walt Disney World in Florida in 1971 and is one of the state's biggest employers - has elevated the profile of Mr DeSantis, who is widely seen as a potential Republican candidate for president. He has supported measures like a ban on abortion after six weeks and the Parental Rights in Education Act, dubbed by the "Don't Say Gay" bill by critics, which bans discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity for pupils aged nine and under. The state expanded the ban to all grades this month. Disney criticised that law last year after coming under pressure from its staff. Florida lawmakers subsequently voted to restructure the special district that had been created more than 50 years ago to oversee development of the land around Disney World, which includes four theme parks, dozens of hotels and entertainment venues. The moves gave Mr DeSantis the power to appoint members to the district's governing board, removing that authority from landowners in the 25,000-acre district, of which Disney is by far the biggest. "There's a new sheriff in town," Mr DeSantis declared of the move. Before the new board was installed, however, Disney reached a last-minute deal outlining the scope of development in the district and giving Disney the right to review any changes to properties within its limits. The contract limited the powers of the new board and included terms valid in perpetuity or until "21 years after the death of the last survivor of the descendants of King Charles III, king of England". Mr DeSantis said Disney "tried to pull a fast one" and announced plans for government investigations and other potential actions. He openly referred to a series of possibilities, including new taxes, tolls and even opening a state prison near the parks.
