That's mighty kind of you sir!
No problem. So what is it? I’m guessing a plush?

Yup, it's supposed to look like it's in a glass case. But it's just plastic, soft plastic, not a hard case. They have Howard the Duck, Groot, Cosmo, and Rocket. They were hanging on a wall when we were there.

Here's the Titanic attraction that was supposed to be in the foreign 20th Century Fox theme park. Now that Disney owns them (?) what's happening with this? Wouldn't this be great in DL?

Does anyone know if Universal will send you merchandise from their park stores if you call them and order it?
I'm looking for one of these, I'm not even sure if they still sell them.
LOL it's hideous.
EDIT: Looks like they did away with this one, found a number and called Universal merchandising. They now have a stiffer version. So looks like this one is no longer being made or sold. Shoot.

How could anyone sleep with that thing in their house?

Lol He'll likely sleep WITH it in bed with him. He's still sensitive like that.

It looks like my neighbor's yappy purse-dog.
I have an embarrassing confession to make. All these years I thought those were a bunch of little Maters pulling us around in Maters Junkyard Jamboree ( which of course makes no sense) not realizing its those little tractors instead. Which then got me thinking where is Mater? And why isn’t there some big Mater AA in the middle of the junkyard singing?

Just watched a side-by-side comparison of both Soarin' films and confirmed there is a HUGE difference in the amount of movement!
What do you mean exactly ?

I remember concept art showed Mater off to the side hosting but I believe the explanation for the cut was he rolls out regularly for meet and greets and you can’t have two Maters within eye shot.
To put it simply, the Over California film has a greater number of turns and ascends/descends, more severe turns and ascends/descends, less straights, intentionally wobbles or tilts (for lack of better words) more often, and in-action transitional movements are probably more frequent.
So much that you may as well remove the simulator part of the attraction. And this does not even take into consideration the Over the World film has worse music, smells, slightly more jarring transitions, obvious CGI wildlife, etc.

CA was real footage which was more dynamic and epic. The new version looks, shall we say, artificial.

Yes. And gave me the false impression that the Eiffel Tower is curved instead of straight!
