'Potential explosion' reported at Disneyland was show effects, authorities say
ANAHEIM, Calif. - A possible explosion reported at Disneyland Tuesday morning turned out to be testing for some effects used in the "World of Color" show, authorities confirmed.
Around 6:30 a.m., people in the area reported seeing "sudden flashes of red and yellow."
Video shared with FOX 11 show a black-shaped cloud formed the air over an illuminated rollercoaster.
