Although it might be CRAZY busy and no one will want to leave the Fantasmic Viewing area

Yeah, I'm thinking some serious crowd control from park open til show time will have to be in order...maybe limit the number of hours prior to the show people can "camp out".
If she debuts prior to the weekend, the park will be even more jammed. Someone on another site has the opinion that they will wait until the expo to debut her. Who knows? I'm just glad to see that she is up and running...even if she still has stage fright...lol

You do that, Doc. I'll just avoid everyone and ride the rides that are vacant.

I've been going crazy finding videos and pics! Murphy is finally here! She did not breathe fire, but she was still amazing!

I saw a few videos and I have to say that he looks pretty great and while I'm not a huge fan of Fantasmic, I think I'll go soon to see him in action.

Out of all the videos I have seen of Murphy this one is the only one to make me tearup and almost cry with joy:

With all of the difficulties that have delayed the debut of Murphy this just makes me over joyful. I am happy for the entertainment crew for finally being able to get him out there. Granted there was no Fire from the great beast but still this is a HUGE step. I know for a fact that IF Murphy is live on Monday I may start to cry, yes it sounds weird but I feel like I was just as involved as the Imagineers, mechanics, carpenters, welders, electricians, etc. and I am sure more than a few felt the same way I did. I ordered a new lens and should be able to get close-ups of him. I just hope I don't bork my camera from the tears, it is water resistant.

Unfortunately, I cannot see the video at this time, but I can tell you...you are not alone. I had the same feelings. I got goosebumps watching it last night. I must have watched 10 different videos.

That's the same video I saw last night, Doc. If I go next week, I want to see if I'll be able to check out the camera at school again so I can get a bunch of Murphy.

Lastnight Murphy Roared and a massive breath of fire was seen by all. Murphy performed flawlessly according the OC Register. I really am getting excited about this coming trip. I wonder if I can "barrow" my brothers HV20......hmmm, late night raiding party!!!
