This attraction is open why is this discussion still ongoing ?

You are welcome to no longer participate. Every new post jumps the discussion to the top of the board.

Have you met the president face to face? Or are you just assuming how he looks from photos?

Where is the eye roll preset emoji when you need it?

Here is our video of the update.

Ok. I don't like this attraction, as previously stated. However, I will admit, they did a great job with this animatronic. The movements are believable.

For those who keep droning on about how “unpopular” and “low-rated” this attraction is.

Yes, I’m aware that these aren’t Guest Satasfaction surveys, but it would be interesting to know how “low” this rates and what the questioning is like.

Regardless, it rates pretty well in all of these apps that average Guests use.

13 people rated it. That tells you nothing about it's popularity.

Farming aura.

Maybe some hype moments

Again, I wouldn't be surprised if HOP pulls a SGE at some point in the not too distant future and operates seasonally before "Temporarily" closing forever and not saying

For the amount of money they put into the animatronics having it operate seasonally wouldn’t make sense. Magic Kingdom needs capacity and unless they have other plans for this space I don’t see them doing that.

Back on topic, I think based on the pictures and videos that they did a pretty good job with the animatronic. None of them have ever been particularly great. I think the last time I actually went inside HoP was when Obama was President and I didn't really thing the animatronic looked very much like him.

This is not impossible. They could even have the animatronic skins on statues. As ghoulish as taxidermied presidents sound.

Yeah, alcohol and “problematic” animatronics…brilliant

Not saying I support this. I'm saying Disney has done baffling things lately.

Yes, I agree the new animatronic looks good and behaves believably.
