QUICK TAKES - Sept. 3, 2009

After months of false starts and anticipation, the “Fantasmic” dragon finally took the stage at Disneyland on Tuesday night to cheers from the Disney faithful that crowded the banks of the Rivers of America.
Visually imposing and impressive, the fire-breathing animatronic dragon nonetheless seemed a bit stiff and failed to breathe fire.
The oft-delayed dragon, originally scheduled to debut in early June, failed to appear throughout the Anaheim theme park’s peak summer-vacation season.
“Fantasmic” plays at 9 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. over the four-day Labor Day weekend.
After that, “Fantasmic” switches to a Friday-through-Sunday schedule until the Christmas holidays.
