Do the aquabots presage a return of a night show at DAK?

Was looking over the Paris details for Adventureworld and saw mention of aquatic drones. I of course instantly thought of this park and the lagoon. But thinking back to the previous night time show, was that already a type of water drone show already?

Here’s a new episode of We Call It Imagineering:

Okay Disney, I'm willing to bargain: All will be forgiven in SWGE if you use your robot technology to have a platoon of fifty Stormtroopers walk through the land, in formation. And if you play the John Williams music. Do we have a deal?

You got about 10 minutes before some idiot with a camera tries to go "bowling" by ramming into them with an equally stupid friend recording it.

I get what you're saying, but the risk of guests knocking or kicking robots over exists whether there's one (Olaf) or 50 and Disney looks to be placing a bet this is not an issue and/or that they're training the robots to handle this (i.e., instantly tuck down into a stable pose to prevent a dominoes-like effect, when it sees someone coming at them, given the robots can see everybody).

There's a risk of people destroying food delivery robots and self-driving taxis and robots at Disneyland (or wherever robots end up over the next few decades). In Disneyland, at least, people are trapped so consequences are faced.

These robots will be either behind a barrier or being watched carefully by a squadron of security guards disguised as fellow tourists.

From a cost perspective... I assume it would be a lot cheaper just to hire 50 people to walk through the land in formation.

IMHO Robots should be limited to things that we can't just use humans for

e.g., Giving warm hugs.

With technology how it is... I wouldn't be so sure this will be the case for long.

Or, to avoid the moronic public who will mess with them, make about 9 of them, break them up into groups of 3 and have them patrol a few rooftops. Get a few more cast members in costume patrolling the ground and get some dang drones that look like ships going in the distance already.

I never read this thread until now. Very humorous how many people were posting, commenting and engaged leading up to the 1st episode, then between the 1st and 2nd episodes. Kind of died off real fast with comments by the 3rd one.

With it actually landing on +, now... wonder if there will be a renewed interest? Guess we will see.... LOL

I think part of it is that the first few gave a lot of new info about controversial new projects coming to the parks, which always gets people talking, and after that there was a lot less about big new projects, and a lot more standard documentary/how it’s made/behind the scenes stuff which a lot of people on here already know about. There was always a bit of new info in each episode, but later on it was about smaller things that were much less controversial

Here’s the new stuff revealed in each episode:

1. The Tiana’s animatronics.
2. The new music coming to Country Bears and Tiana’s.
3. The new ride systems for the Avengers, Cars, and Monsters Inc rides.
4. Hong Kong’s new daytime parade and Magic Kingdom’s new electrical parade.
5. A tiny section on the castle for Abu Dhabi and the Disney Adventure.
6. A tiny bit on the Haunted Mansion bar on the Disney Treasure.
7. The Olaf animatronic.

Looking at that list it definitely makes sense why the first two or three would have had the biggest discussion
