Actually it was the FSU (Florida State Univ) beaver... not the FCU.
And I can attest that the little guy was working before the rehab back in the middle of December. This critter is toward the end of the ride and he shouts out F-S-U from his little nook above in the trees.

Its something that one of the imagineers who worked on the project (an FSU Alumni) stuck in there. Its pretty well known but whether or not that was going to be cleaned out during the rehab is anyone's guess. I will believe that specific content was not changed... just fixed if it wasn't working to original specs.

It was there on Sunday when i rode it... the guy didn't pop down (half the things didn't work) but it did say "F-S-U". Being an FSU alum, i always listen for it and was glad it was still there after the rehab :)

I'm pretty sure its a mole, not a beaver. He was there saying "F-S-U" during my second ride during Extra Magic Hours last night.

It's right before the big lift hill. In the Laughing Place, you see the turtles on their back raising up from water, the moles pop up out of the ground as you turn left and pass, and as you "snake" back to the right, look up and he pops out from a hole above you.

Now that you mention it... the mole/beaver/rodent... (whatever) didn't pop down in December... but I did here it say the three letters that the Hokies really don't like to listen to last month.


Here's hoping the Bowden jinx is finally broken this November 10th in Blacksburg.
Go Hokies!
