Apparently dry ice was inside the volcano, producing excellent "smoke" for quite a long time through a hole in the volcano's top. You can still order this at the Mai-Kai. It's on the dessert menu and called a Polynesian Surprise. But instead of dry ice, it's lit up with sparklers. I think it's lit up from the inside too so the ice "volcano" glows. It's great, although dry ice would be a nice touch!
