Just over a year after unexpectedly closing following a destructive fire, Fantasmic! is back at Disneyland Park in California but, it looks a little different from what had been there before. In April 2023, Disneyland's roughly 45-foot-tall, full-body Fantasmic! dragon caught fire, and the nighttime spectacular was closed indefinitely.
