The dragon wasn't built by Disney, but an outside contractor, who was also responsible for last year's idiot mistake.

Rocket Rods and Light Magic were made from a different outside contractor.

Disney really needs to stop contracting. Really.

I thought with both the monorail and the murphy that the specs given to the contractors were wrong, making it Disney's error.

Spec errors are inevitable in any engineering project. They are, generally, much easier to rectify internally than when dealing with contractors.

Damn, and I still haven't seen that effing dragon. We've gone a few times when it was supposedly working, and lo and behold, Maleficent-on-a-stick B-mode.

It is amazing though how the GIANT, CONSTANTLY-MOVING ANIMATRONIC LAVA MONSTER in Tokyo Disney Sea has worked for nearly 10 years, but a dragon that pops up for 30 seconds (ok, 90 seconds if you count all three shows) and a Yeti that just swings his arm cannot work for longer than a few months.

Yep, it was all over twitter. Just when I thought I was finally going to get to see the show. Between this broken, HM closed, TSM closed, construction wall-a-palooza I shouldn't have bothered buying passes for my trip this weekend.

The mishap last year was due to one of the contractor's programmers triggering the dragon to open before the trap door. And, the entire thing basically blew up underground. Totally not Disney's fault.

So who selected the contractor and managed the contract? Disney chose to downsize imagineering and rely on contractors.
