My concern is that, with the cost of AAs and the budget of this ride, we won’t end up with many.Since we're in the WDW section of the forums, may I remind everyone that, AFAIK, the AAs in MK's Splash Mountain aren't from America Sings. Those AAs went into DL's Splash Mountain (and two became droids elsewhere).
Also, those original America Sings AAs are now close to 50 years old. I doubt many of them have any of their original parts. Ships of Theseus and all that. And the ones in MK's Splash Mountain are 30 years old.
I find nostalgic attachment to those specific limited-movement animatronic skeletons to be a bit odd. "We got to keep them and reskin them!!" Why? Why wouldn't we hope for newer, better AAs?
Something like RotR. It’s a great ride, but not an AA tour de force like Splash (or in the way it was hyped).
