I don't see the neck/head. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough.

I don't think they're installed yet...I couldn't see them either (either that or it's a huge dragon with a microscopic neck/head :wink: )

But I am looking to see if someone has a zoomed in pic somewhere. I just came across this by accident and thought I'd let eveyone here know.

Edit: I read on another thread that the head/neck are there, but they are black with no accent color so they blend in. Honestly, I haven't had the chance to get a really good look.

Nice Robocop reference, Leota. Not sure if it was deliberate
No one's gloomy or complaining while the flatware's entertaining.

"Blend in" or still not there? :wink:

I think they blend in...if you follow the body up toward the neck, you see where it turns black. What people on the other boards were saying is that because it's it the shadows, it's hard to make out...but it appears to be there (looks like part of the lighting system to me). I'm still trying to find a zoomed in picture to see for sure, but no luck yet... :(

It is there, you just have to look at the zoomed in picture down the page, the one Fishbulb posted. also this is the person that took it: http://twitpic.com/fegon I saw it the other day....micechat claims they go the picture the day before it was leaked.

I'll have to take a look at the zoomed in pic tonight. Thanks for posting it! I'm pretty sure I have figured out the head/neck, but I would like to see the zoomed in pic to be sure.

For anyone on "dragon watch", apparently Disney is trying to assemble a media preview for early Monday morning...fingers crossed for a debut next week!

Yeah 4am early. They are doing it that early so it will still be dark when they preview it. From what I have heard from friends out there this will be like no other addition. They are telling me it is akin to when Fantasmic debuted back in the early 90's. I can't wait to see it and snag some shots of it. Earliest I can see it will be labor day itself. Later than most of the Disney fans but I still want to get it myself.

There is so much speculation out there, who knows? Personally, I would not be surprised if they wait for the holiday weekend...just a thought...(but I love the pics they released! She looks great! )

Here is the HD version of the video:

Also the 4am/5am Press event was canceled this morning. No word on the actual date Murphy will debut to the public. I my own opinion, I agree with Mmeleota about the holiday weekend. Although it might be CRAZY busy and no one will want to leave the Fantasmic Viewing area. I only know that I will be there on Monday, Cameras and lens' in hand ready to go.
