I've never even seen that animatronic, the one time I went on this ride with Fastpass. Since I've had no desire to go on again, I doubt I ever will. Maybe I'll see it at DCA these days.

Poor WDW maintenance strikes again. A cast member got it on tape. At 50 seconds into this video, you can see what happened.

I had a similar experience with the Buzz AA in BLSRS queue. He was covered by a curtain the whole time I was waiting but I re-rode about 2 hours later and he was up and running again. Probably just a malfunction with the AA, I hear mr. Potato head breaks a lot...(although I've never seen him, I always use fp)

You can't blame Remy, all he wants is a ride.Maybe Mr. Potato Head was french fried....
Then let's give him one!
(Fastpass was for 6:00 and we needed to leave at 2)

I doubt it. Could you imagine the back lash, french fries are too unhealthy. I think they are just moving him to living with the land to talk about hydroponics in the garden scene.Maybe Mr. Potato Head was french fried....

And in case all else fails, there's nothing a new M&G can't fix!

Kind of in the same boat here. I've only used the Standby line when there was nobody there (i.e. about a minute before park closing), and have never actually seen him in action. I didn't know he was "interactive" until a few years after it opened, when reading about him on this forum.
But, we were just there for 8 days and didn't ride it once. We could have gotten Fastpasses, or gotten in line at park closing, but it just wasn't worth the effort. We've done it a few times, and there's just nothing captivating about a ride-through video game for us, I guess. Perhaps if the Studios had more attractions to consume crowds, and the queue was 20-min or less, we'd devote some time to it.

TSMM is a fun ride, but I agree not sure its worth anything more than a 20 or 30 minute wait. Neither for a Fastpass for a ride time 8 hours away. Just illustrates how there is a dearth of attractions at the Studios...

The queue is the best part of the attraction IMHO, far better than the ride itself (which highly disappointed me).

True. And even at that, it was a fairly inexpensive queue to build. Nothing immersive, but some clever props. They blew their entire budget on the ride system technology, and had nothing left for the show building or queue.

I tend to agree that of all places that Disney's obsession for interactive queues could be fitting would be here. Although, the bigger problem is really that DHS doesn't have enough attractions to distribute the crowd properly. The park needs more rides and attractions, and needs to run their big crowd-eating shows more than twice a day.
Until they fix that problem, the headliner attractions are going to continue to have 2 hours waits and no Fastpasses after 9am.
