I believe our T-rex friend also got a second shot at fame in the "Galaxy Search" show at MK!

It was also used in a show in MK playing as Elvis called Galaxy Search. It now sits behind a bunch of Trailers on property frozen in a pose.

Yet another show I had no idea existed... and that is flippin' hilarious! Is that all you could see of him for that show (i.e. neck up)?

Can't say 100% for sure, as I don't remember much of the show itself (outside of it being canceled in the middle of the show because some technical thing happened, heh), but it seems like that's all you'd have seen.

Where was this located??
The old Galaxy Palace Theater in Tomorrowland. :)

Am I seeing this right? I know if you go up World Drive and try to make a left into the backstage area of MK (road behind FLE) there is a gate that you can't get past without being authorized but... am I see it right that there is no such gate that prevents you from getting back into the facilities and engineering area? I'm not asking because I'm going to drive back there to grab a picture of Robo Dino or anything I swear. :rolleyes:

There's a lot of areas you can drive around that have facilities.

If you drive past the Contemporary, towards Space Mountain, you'll see a small sign saying "authorized personnel only", but if you are somehow authorized, you can drive all the way through to CM parking and out

As of only about a month ago, he has been moved. Where to? I dunno yet.
NOOOOOOOO Please tell me that you don't know that first hand and are basing that only on what you've been told. I convinced DH last night to take a drive back there on the next trip so I could get a few shots of him! :(

Ok so I FINALLY got a second to watch this and I'm wishing I could go back in time here. :) Seriously though... I'm trying to put my head around it but what is the space where the Robo Dino "lived" used for now? Is it just an open area? I'm trying to place it from that side of SSE.

The very edge of Innoventions East in the area that has the spot with green plants..

All gone. Sorry. I used to enjoy glancing east and seeing it while driving past the monorail barn.

A full Night rehersal show of Splashtacular..It appears mostly in the second half of this video.


Oh wow,it does remind me of Fantasmic.
Except,I didn't realize how weak Mickey is in this show by calling for his guards first.
Yeah,I'm over analyzing.

I've heard the reason Splashtaular didn't work was because the fountains had too much water and would soak the performers.

Any update on what happened to him?
It's funny you bumped this up because I was poking around for some answers just last week and came up blank. All I know with any sort of certainty is that his shell did indeed disappear from the cast building backstage. I read a rumor that he was for whatever reason reused in Tokyo but something just doesn't add up on that theory so I'd love to know if anyone knows for sure!

Probably not, because it's a Megalosaurus in UoE :)

Ellen's trip across space and time must have ripped the continuum a new one....

Apatosaurus was found in Oklahoma, Colorado, and Wyoming.
Stegosaurus was found in Colorado and Wyoming.

Megalosaurus was a Brit. Found in southern England. Right time, wrong place.



BUT...Elasmosaurus (the one about to eat Ellen) is from the right place...but wrong time. He got pulled back from the Cretaceous to the Jurassic. So he's not HUNGRY...he's just ed off.

Even worse is the confusion for the poor Dimetrodon, since he's not supposed to be in the Mesozoic era at all.
