Gran Fiesta Tour - New Animatronics

[DisneyJeff]

Whoa, that was updated quickly. I did this ride on Tuesday and it was still the old scene then.

Oh good, I rode it on Monday and didn't notice any change. I thought maybe I missed the ending while trying to post photos on Instagram.

What did it look like before

What did it look like before

It was a screen with animations of them singing.

The animatronics have such a limited range of motion compared to the animated versions on the screens.

At first I was like

but then I saw who posted.

That's a nice addition. Watching the video here:

Were these figures always so "smooth" in their movement, or were they just maintained/upgraded while in use at Tokyo Disneyland?

Wow. Those are some good-looking figures. Very nice plus.

This makes me so happy

So glad to see three of my favorite characters in AA form-a lot more animated/fluid than I anticipated too.

Great work Walt Disney World, great to see these back in Florida and lovely for this ride to get some attention.

 

[MaxW]

that's awesome! so nice to see AA's back in use. I was born well after the show was relocated, so it'll be nice to see at least a part of MMR

Was there any downtime for this attraction or did they work on it behind the scenes at night? You have to figure it took some time to sync everything up.

Who needs 3D animatronics with jerky motions when you have 2D fluid animated cartoons?

 

[JohnD]

Didn't I read somewhere that AAs are so 20th century? Actually, I think it's a great addition with a stamp that definitely says "Disney."

 

[ShoalFox]

Great news! I'm okay with this ride, and this addition makes it a little bit better.

Also, whenever I think of the Gran Fiesta Tour, I can't stop myself from thinking that only one of the Three Caballeros is actually from Mexico.

 

[FigmentJedi]

I wonder what happened to the other set of Caballeros they made for the Revue. Could see them being put into the Small World doll scene.

You wanna Disneylandize MKs version of IASW? Hehe.

 

[EPCOTCenterLover]

I'll always prefer El Rio del Tiempo to this BUT this is a good addition. They should have had this done from the beginning. Disney looking for money to make this happen?? REALLY? They are rolling in it- if only they wanted to use it. Maybe now its time for the Yeti.

 

[brb1006]

I always felt the finale for Grand Fiesta felt disappointing and always wished they added AAs. And out of nowhere it actually happened. The finale looks much better now besides looking at a screen.

I mean the Dias De Los Muertos scene in the Mexico ride. i.e. the part of the ride everyone compares to Small World.

Oh Ok. Gotcha. Sorry.
