Editing Fantasmic! (section)

====Refurbishments====
Disneyland's ''Fantasmic!'' has undergone several technical refreshes. A new sound system debuted in the summer of 2007, along with new show barges featuring LED lighting arrays. A complete overhaul of the lighting system debuted in the spring of 2008. The three mainland lighting towers, which rise hydraulically from pits in the ground prior to the show, were rebuilt with pull-out slides for the new [[Clay Paky]] Alpha Spots and Washes and redesigned for the new Strong Gladiator IV followspots. The footlights on the mainland side at water level were replaced with LED fixtures. Refurbished pyrotechnic barges were given new technologies derived from Disneyland's Air-Launch Firework (ALF) system.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://corporate.disney.go.com/media/environmentality/enviroports/enviroport_2004_web.pdf |title=Disney's Enviroport - 2004 Annual Environmental Report |publisher=Corporate.disney.go.com |access-date=September 22, 2012 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120813024042/http://corporate.disney.go.com/media/environmentality/enviroports/enviroport_2004_web.pdf |archive-date=August 13, 2012 |df=mdy-all}}</ref>

In 2008, the three original 70mm projectors were replaced with high definition (HD) digital projectors. A new audio-animatronic dragon (nicknamed Murphy by fans, after [[Murphy's law]], when the dragon experienced multiple delays in 2009) was built to replace the previous dragon which had been a mechanical dragon's head mounted to the top of a Genie boom lift where the man basket used to go and two wing assemblies that were raised up and were flapped manually with poles. The new dragon was designed to be a full-bodied replica of Maleficent's final form in ''Sleeping Beauty'', standing at 45 feet tall.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ocresort.freedomblogging.com/2009/07/15/disneys-dragon-still-under-repair-for-fantasmic-show/11627/|title=Disney's Dragon still under repair for Fantasmic show|work=The Orange County Register}}</ref>

In early February 2010, the entire [[Rivers of America (Disney)|Rivers of America]] were drained. Both the ''Mark Twain'' and the Sailing Ship ''Columbia'' were refurbished, and the track along which the ships travel was replaced. The show's underwater effects underwent maintenance as well, and the laser effects for the finale were upgraded. On August 28, the second-generation dragon broke again, partly collapsing during a performance.<ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-disney-dragon-20100831,0,3787283.story | work=Los Angeles Times | first=Paloma | last=Esquivel | date=August 31, 2010 | title=The case of the missing dragon | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170725173739/http://articles.latimes.com/2010/aug/31/local/la-me-disney-dragon-20100831 | archive-date=2017-07-25 | url-status=dead}}</ref> It was restored to the show on November 12.

The show was remastered, featuring a new sequence with segments from ''Aladdin'', ''The Lion King'' and ''Tangled''.

In December 2023, Disneyland announced that the ''Pirates of the Caribbean'' segment would revert to the ''Peter Pan'' segment.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-03-27 |title=Disneyland swaps Peter Pan for Jack Sparrow when 'Fantasmic' returns |url=https://www.ocregister.com/2024/03/27/disneyland-swaps-peter-pan-for-jack-sparrow-when-fantasmic-returns/ |access-date=2024-04-15 |website=Orange County Register |language=en-US}}</ref>
