Best Ride Animatronic

[Vclguy90]

Just curious. Has anyone ever done a poll on here to see how many people got to see the yeti in 'A' mode?

I've seen it and it was the most amazing thing at any theme park anywhere. It was as if a 20 foot giant put on a massive yeti costume and lunged at you like they would in a HHN scare zone. Super impressive and the perfect finally to an already impressive ride. Damn, I miss it so much

The Dragon in JttCotE at TDS is pretty rad.

We had one, for about 10 years......

Shaman of songs

And it's not close.

Anyone who thinks the dinos are better than the Shaman of Songs.... I don't even know what to say.

Lumiere from Enchanted Tales is super underrated.

Lumiere is kind of a cheat in that it's more puppet than animatronic by means of external manipulation. It's rubber hose arms and flexible body make for a very fluid, very animated character. It's done to amazing results. Great effect. Definitely underated.

Have you done Jurrasic World? Shaman is cool but the scale of the diinos and their movement combined with how they are used in the ride(terrifying) I think tops it.
Watch from around 5:40 mark

They're great but they're still kind of slow motion. And "scale" is not necessarily all that impressive to me. Doing complicated engineering in small spaces is more difficult than doing it inside large spaces.

I think I'm going crazy. These aren't the best animatronics, but this seemed the best thread to bring this up.

This is what I remember the three bonnet bears looking like in the Country Bear Jamboree:

But this is a picture from Tokyo. Florida's bears look like this:

Spoiler: The horrifying reveal

The WDW bears are kind of terrifying, and I don't remember them looking like this!

Not the best but I do miss the Luxo Jr. lamp animatronic in DHS.
