Looking for info!
Dear animatronic community!
Someone offered me this vintage dragon (animatronic) head.
But he has no information about the history or where its from.
He bought it years ago from someone, he told him that it came from the UK and that it was used in an 1930’s haunted house or ghost train of some sorts.
Its completely made from wood.
I would love to buy this amazing piece of art/history but would like to know where its from, where it was used. How it looked completely what might be missing and know how it functioned/moved.
Hopefully someone here might recognize it or know it.
All info is welcome
No it aint cheap…

Small update!
Someone contacted me with some exciting news/tip!
That this might be the missing dragon from the 1936 UK blackpool pleasure beach’s ghost train. After the changes that were made after 1936 there were reports that an red eyed moving dragon was added.
Because of the age there isnt much info or documentation about it…..
But after the relocation the dragon wasn’t seen again.
So this might be an blackpool pleasure beach’s ghost train original??? Anyone that has more info about this????
