Well, this should be interesting to see when he debuts. (I'm expecting alot outta this, Servo! :lol Hopefully the folks in maintenance can keep him fully operational, considering he's going to be in the elements for at least part of the time.

 

[SirGoofy]

Sounds like it will give maintenance fits...:dazzle:

What doesn't these days?:lookaroun

They need to hire me. And I have my own tools too.


On second thought............nevermind.


I think this will be a hit. I also think they might have something planned for the MI arch that is back towards stage 1 someday. Someday.

Oh, I agree that it will be a hit. This is one of those small, unnecessary additions that made Disney great, and something that needs to be done more.

As for maintenance, I don't envy their positions at all. No area of WDW has to do more with less.

The AA's at Jungle Cruise are outside...and IN water....they seem to work pretty well!

Yes, but they are very low-tech and I'm not sure they even qualify as AA.

 

[SirGoofy]

Yes, but they are very low-tech and I'm not sure they even qualify as AA.

They aren't. The animals and people on the Jungle Cruise are what we call Animated Figures. AAs can make much more sophisticated movements, where the AFs can only make the same, simple motions over and over again.

 

[Brian_WDW74]

No new information, but D23 now confirms the AA.

Well...Won't something be going there?:lookaroun

I'm not talking about the MI ride. I am talking about something like a Luxo LCI placed on top of the arch at the back of Pixar Place.

By the way there is only one Pixar character left in "Muppet Square" so I think the rumors of a greatly expanded "Pixar-land" at DHS seem very real now. And that would be awesome!

I'd still rather have a greatly expanded Muppet-land.:zipit:

 

[jt04]

There is room. Just look at how DL manages space. I agree though, more muppets would be good. I love the Jim Hill rumor about a Muppet restaurant!

Oh believe me. I've done plenty armchair Imagineering for a restaurant and a ride for the area. Maybe if I have the time I'll post them soon.

 

[CaptainMichael]

Me too. I'm afraid that PIXAR is gonna end up taking too much of DHS' land. The park is small enough as it is without Carsland eating up all of the available expansion.:dazzle:

Ah...Gotcha.

So would I. It's possible...but not probable. Unless Disney hypes and promotes the franchise again.

Well they've already greenlit the new movie, written by Jason Segel, so there's definitely hope.

I also think this is one of the main reasons pixar is leaving muppet square. There is hope.

Ah...There IS hope.

yes... there... is...
