Gran Fiesta Tour - New Animatronics

[Rteetz]

Love the historical photos of the preview event.

Also, the attraction's got new exterior signage based on an old Mexican poster for the movie.

They also have a t shirt for sale online at the Disney store.

This probably cost one new booth at Food and Wine Festival

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?

This is great! What was the downtime for installation? Would it take long to program them or did they use the old program from Tokyo? So excited to see these guys in action!

Same! It always takes me ages to get it out of my head after I ride.

I'm one of the only ones to actually like the Grand Fiesta Tour. It's more interesting then when it was just a travelogue through Mexico.

Here's the AMAZING thing About this....I asked if they were going to bring them to The ride in a post in May of 2011...

Jim hill talked about this a while a go. Apparently they've been sitting backstage for years, waiting for some extra money to get installed.

Jim Hill? Well I guess even a broken watch is right twice a day...

Pretty sure they were upgraded here's a clip from when they were still at TDL...

It's great to see my old friends back in Orlando again! I remember seeing the MMR during my first visit in 1975 and was quite upset when I found out that it had been shipped to Tokyo a few years later.
I know that I'm probably in the minority when I say that I prefer the Gran Fiesta Tour over El Rio del Tiempo, but I can't help myself. I'm a Caballero fan!

Remember to buy your commemorative T-Shirt!

Just saw this video on Twitter.

Sales of the $30 t-shirt should net more than enough to pay for their installation...

Perhaps they're onto something here? A sort of roundabout way to make fans fund the projects they want done?

In that case, where can I find my limited run Yet tee?

Who wouldn't be? Panchito can really hold a note

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

I saw it in Tokyo Disneyland right before it closed and everything seemed well maintained, except for the never-changed-since-the-1970's preshow film...that one was very weird

This was such a welcome surprise to see on twitter today!!!! The animatronics look so good,can't wait to see these on my trip next month~ <3 the Three Caballeros!!!

Those are some great AA's. Never noticed how bare that stage looked with just the screen before.
