I think I prefer the open eyes better, as the other ones eyelids are just too low, makes him look more tired lol

I’m a bit confused with what they are doing here. Isn’t there another, brand new AA with this attraction? Heidi Howler?

No, one AA just like Hopper.

Yea, Heidi Howler is the host reporting on TV. Clawhauser is hosting the watch party here in the theater.

Though the old show had Flick as well that popped in from the ceiling, could have another character in similar role here but I don't think they ever said Heidi Howler was an animatronic in this

My understanding is that the second AA will be Bob Iger’s head popping down from the ceiling at the end of the show asking guests whether they’d like to tip 18%, 20%, 25%, or custom for the outstanding entertainment. Then bugs crawl under our butts, collecting spare change in a nod to the classic “it’s tough to be a bug!”
It’ll cost you a lot but then your kid will look at you like
Priceless.

It's actually an animatronic vacuum that sucks all the cash out of your pockets making it even easier for the guests to properly donate to Disney

That feels a little early for a soft opening. Maybe some previews going on though!

Yep I was right , he's where Hopper stood....Wonder if they patched up Flix hole or if intended to be use if Weasleton pops up or something?
Also, I'm glad they went with actual eyes than digital ones the Shanghai park has..

I just hope Disney does the right thing and doesn’t offer a virtual queue again when the attraction actually opens and/or does an open preview like what they did for Test Track.
