Gran Fiesta Tour - New Animatronics

[Touchdown]

Donald appears to shake those maracas much better and more realistic (the small shake back and forth) and Jose is strumming his guitar better too. Glad they are back.

 

[ToTBellHop]

They admittedly look good.

Joe Rohde retired, remember? That’s just unnecessary detail for some ride themed to Mexico or wherever.

At least Joe’s exploration trips got us Kilimanjaro Safaris, Everest, and Avatar.

Who led the exploration trip to Norway to build a Princess Meet and Greet?

You mean to tell me The Zach’s posts are just marketing garbage and not his personal thoughts?

Is he even a real person?

Did I read correctly (much) earlier in the thread that the animatronics actually came oroginally from the old Mickey Mouse Revue? If so, that's quite some lineage. Makes me wonder what happened to the rest of the animatronics from that show.

Dead Simba is hitting me right in the feels.

Dammit, Scar!

The Seven Dwarfs look really well-animated there. Why didn't TDO use those figures for the Snow White dark ride rebuild, instead of the lame static figures that are there now? Oh yeah. Costs money.

And here we see the team programming the The Zach animatronic: their most life-like yet!

He’s a real boy!

I was gonna say that the Seven Dwarfs animatronics were moved to the Magic Kingdom's Snow White ride in the 1990s, then after it closed they wound up in Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. But I believe those were just the same molds, not the actual animatronics (since wouldn't the actual animatronics be at Tokyo Disneyland's Mickey Mouse Revue?). I could be wrong, though.

Ratatouille moved to 10/1/22 CONFIRMED!

I choked on my coffee

Will the cardboard cutouts be sent to Jungle Cruise as the supporting cast for Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Shop?

I would 100% support this. Trader Sam's shop should absolutely be mocking stuff like this.

Was THE Zach 1.0 the precursor to Bob 2.0?

Top men.

Was the sound and sync way off? or was that just the video?
I really don't notice them any better than before the re-build...

Likely the video - I wanted to include a few closeups from a second ride through.

here is a single camera ride-through

Glad to see these guys back and working. They look great in the video.

Is there some way we can make the boat pause in front of this for, like, 5 minutes? You can have your Avatar Shaman. Give me these old-school AAs ANYTIME. And, yes, I want every one of the Tiki Room birds for myself.

That is actually my question... Is he a real person or a concocted marketing profile...
