News Disney Not Renewing Great Movie Ride Sponsorship Deal with TCM ; Attraction to Close

Any chance we see John Wayne or Clint Eastwood with a pirate hat?

I'm pretty sure the rope swinging pirate in DLP's Pirates was a Tarzan mold. Since they can't seem to ever leave Pirates alone, maybe he'll be reused in that way?

I certainly hope they can re-use The Wicked Witch since that was a full articulated AA with great motion. But the rest? Ripley only turned her head. Tarzan was a mannequin on a stick. The rest had limited motion with just one or two joints moving and really old and dated facial expressions.

Let's not think anywhere near the majority of AAs in this attraction are suitable for a new, state of the art attraction. After a few decades, servos and pistons and whatevers are no longer serviceable. A good portion will be trashed. At least, I hope so, since what was there is barely usable as a store-front mannequin.

I hope they save the Ellen Ripley animatronic. At least for educational purposes on how not to build an animatronic...

That wasn't an animatronic. It was a dummy with a head that swiveled back and forth

That makes the scene even creepier. Imagine if they had updated the ride for 2017 to It with Pennywise the Dancing Clown explaining to guests--by name--that they'll float, too.

Someone's gonna have to define a "central shop" for me. Auction?

The place were things are built, repaired, re-proposed, repainted or left to collect dust. It used to be on the backstage tour, don't know if it still is.

Just saying I would love Judy Garland, and the lion, tin man and the scarecrow. but I would die to have the Judy AA.

Weird typo. Fixed now!

Ah, good to hear. The Urban Dictionary definition left me wondering....

I think it stemmed from the quote as "I'm pretty sure the rope swinging pirate..." Sometimes if you start typing before all the html code is in place it gets pushed to the end or front of the quote.

Have had that issue myself as well lol.
Or the quote loads last while you're typing. So half your text will be before the quote and the rest AFTER the quote.

I recently heard that the Indy scene has been removed and the dumpster has been moved inside the building.
