New iCan Entertainment in Tomorrowland

[Magicart87]

Not bad. Concept's kinda cool. Little ones will enjoy it. I do think it's a little too obvious it's a human performer though.

IMO, a few changes like a newer larger head to balance out the bottom heavy segway base, some LED lights, Bleeps and Bloops and a voice changer that gives monotone robot vocals or even the performer pretending to ggglitch out every now and then could help better sell the "its a robot." concept.

Overall though this seems like something I'd see at the local fair and not Disney. Needs more flair and polish. Cool though.

Not sure if anyone else did any research, but just searching "iCan robot" on youtube results in a bunch of videos of this guy (meaning design of it). There's several of him working as a "spokesperson" for companies and conventions. Still really cool and would like to see him become permanent.

Yet another thing to add to the list of things Iger bought...um, "acquired."

Everyland in MK should really have some entertainment like this. Just makes the parks feel more alive. Main Street does it well with the citizens and Tomorrowland did it well with push and it looks like with iCan too.

Adventureland- Roaming Skippers and Pirates
Frontierland- Cowboys and Robbers
Liberty Square- Patriots and Minute Men
Fantasyland- Kings, Queens, Fairies, and Villagers

How long before we have an iCan faceplant into the sidewalk on video?

Oh boy, somebody dressed up in a robot costume. What will they think of next?

He didn't buy it. You can find another similar "robot" over at the Kennedy Space Center.

That one made a Disney World joke. Now that's some foreshadowing.

VIDEO - New interactive iCan Robot experience in the Magic Kingdom's Tomorrowland

Nice to see TDO bring streetmohere back to Tomorrowland. Yes, they didn't create it theemselves, but PUSH wasn't fully Disney owned either hence his removal.

 

[Phroobar]

Wow that robot is almost as realistic as the new Jack Sparrow AA in Disneyland's POTC. You would swear it was Johnny Depp himself.

Interacted with him today. Great fun the guy inside was really quick witted and had the crowed gathered around laughing

I'm all for new little additions like this but I still prefer PUSH.

If we could have a couple of more free roaming characters and if we could bring PUSH back... I'd love it!!!
