Unfortunately the dragon is hidden behind the gate and it's there to rot The lagoon is completely dried out And Merlin is missing his head It's very unfortunate If they tried to repair them it would be amazing They both are such a beautiful animatronics Amazing works of art left to rot behind gate and locked door in the darkness

This was back in the good old days when things were awesome

Vegas was awesome

Filmed on my 14th birthday, and I was living in Vegas at the time!

A special thanks goes out to MGM Resorts for de-theming and ruining every single fun, unique, and captivating thing they ever had in their resorts. Vegas' boring decline couldn't have happened without you.

Tis true. De-theaming a medieval castle is a great idea...lol

And that’s the unfortunate theme nowadays with Vegas. It’s nothing but soulless “modern contemporary” styles that cater to soulless modern millennials and to GenZ crowds that think nothing but sex and alcohol in their lives

Back in a time when casinos Cared about their guests and entertainment. Now, its all rooftop bars, DJs and $25 drink specials.

This is really cool I would have loved to watch this live 🐉🧙🏻‍♂️

Bless you for this footage

Greetings! May I use this footage in a video I'm making about submerged animatronics? I will give your channel full credit.

That would be ok.

I've went to las vegas 1 year ago first time and we stayed at excalibur and I know it has been changed since there's no dragon shows like that before there's only merlin house

With technology today, there could be a magnificent dragon vs merlin battle.

Yeah, they could put out an impressive show with the latest technology but corporations are running the resort operations and I'm sure they wouldn't see the return on investment for this type of free show. Now with the Raiders and Golden Knights stadiums just a few blocks away, they have all the traffic they need.

i wonder how it worked? were lines spoken at specific spots? was it all timed ? what's the worst thing to happen during a show?

Someone said “scary” haha! Why did this end?

I'm sure it was due to the lack of awe factor. Most people would rather see the volcano at the Mirage or the fountains at the Bellagio. I thought it was kind of cool as a free attraction.

Even if it only cost 50¢ to see that id be pissed and want a refund

It wasn't much of a show but it was something to do when you burned through your bankroll for the evening. To your point, it was shut down about 20 years ago so yeah, it wasn't great but for 1997, it wasn't the worst thing out there.

Horrifying!! It belongs in a Don Bluth movie! 😂
