1. Launch Unity and open Case Repro project
2. Open "SkyMaster 3.4 ATOLL DEMO 3 v3.4.8" scene
3. Press play

Expected result: Scene is played
Actual result: Editor crashes

Reproducible with: 2017.2.0b1, 2017.2.0f1, 2017.3.0b8, 2018.1.0a2
Not reproducible with: 2017.2.0a4,
Regression first introduced in: 2017.2.0b1

Note:
if any (or all) active gameObject is disabled and the scene is then played without saving the scene the crash is no longer reproducile. However, Unity crashes on exiting play mode with following stack trace:

Fixed in: 2017.2.1p2, 2017.3.0p2.
Not reproducible on 2018.1+ due to the removal of the Legacy particle system.
