The dragon lives!!! Bishop Castle, the world's largest one-man project, started in 1969 by Jim Bishop, has a fire-breathing dragon! Over 20 years ago, Jim installed a hot air balloon burner in the mouth of the dragon, and it breathed fire for the crowds until about 1999 when it stopped working. It remained inoperable... until now. An old friend of the castle, Randy from Florida, decided he'd like to install a fire cannon and get it going again. Thanks to him, the dragon lives!
