A person told me of a movie or tv special that was apart of a segment by Disney called "After School
Special(s)".  It was about a boy who came across an abandoned amusement park
wherein he finds a mechanical dragon.  This machine is apparently alive and
requests that the boy complete him.  Could you help me find it?

Doesn't ring a bell...But if you substitute "Disney" for "Henson" and "abandoned amusement park" for "F/X studio" you sort of have "Monster Maker" (1989)....

i'll look into it.  Heson does sound more likely to be correct as I remember the dragon being a complex puppet

I think Frank is correct in saying that the film requested is "Monster Maker".
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.

It is certainly Monster Maker.  For years I had searched this exact film out thinking it was part of the Henson show where Henson studios would present little one hour stories.  Finally found out about a year ago that the dragon one is actually Monster Maker.
