Bishop Castle on Reels

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!

Two years ago I decided life was passing me by and to go see all of Colorado. One of my first stops was Bishop’s Castle. The video went viral. I owe my channel to Jim. I have returned since. One of the few places I can say that about. The early morning is always peaceful allowing me to feel and appreciate its
