Tokyo may be open to a retheme... but not with PatF.
Tokyo very much has wanted lots of Disney IP historically. But they may be picky which IP they get.
If TBA is done very well and becomes successful, Tokyo may change their mind. I don't know how attached they may be to Southern critters as an IP.
Anyhoo, if there is leverage Disney may have with OLC, it's if they create an attraction in the domestic parks that OLC wants very much. And they can have it... for a price.

Do you think Tokyo would want Runaway Railway?

Sorry, I thought we both agreed this was not the thread for this.
Damn, I messed up. We gotta go bald

This being the sole PatF-related thing in TDL in the 13 years since the film came out says a lot.
This interests me a lot, would Japan legally be able to make counterfeit projects featuring the Br'ers and other characters from before that magic number?

Not about “southern critters”…. the Japanese people simply love rabbits.

Peter Rabbit: Why the Japanese love Beatrix Potter
The Japanese love Beatrix Potter so much they have Peter Rabbit themed juice bars, florists, gardens and a replica of Potter's house - but why?

So a ride about a wily rabbit who constantly tricks a bear and a fox has a lot more staying power.

I think they also know they got the first string of designers for their money and are hesitant to replace the things they thought were #1 attraction with "new and shiny" just to drive merch sales and bury an unpleasant past. Bunnies are cute too.....Not about “southern critters”…. the Japanese people simply love rabbits.

How specific.
I guess the electricians run the wiring and a special company terminates it? I would have thought both by one vendor but maybe a separate inspection? That does not sit right either., maybe there is a "special" (proprietary) termination they are using but I would hope they stay with standards that can be serviced and repaired with off the shelf parts.

One of the Jack Sparrow animatronics replaced the frightened woman in the barrel.

The contractor is Pro Sound and Video, so these are A/V connections. It's possible that another contractor pulled the wiring and Pro Sound is just doing the terminations.

I know, the barrel was changed because it was a movie alteration they copied from DL/WDW. It wasn't changed because OLC deemed it problematic, hence why the auction and even turntables remain unaltered from opening day. Had DL/WDW changed the barrel figure to a generic male pirate figure and not Jack, it's a safe bet that OLC wouldn't have changed it either.

Honestly they should get rid of the auction scene, not because it's bad but because Redd is objectively better than what was originally there.

They need to fix the audio though. It’s too crisp and clear and it stands out like a sore thumb.

You think the newer animatronic would look out of place next to the old ones?

I think this is one of the first times I've disagreed with you here. We wants the [original] Redhead!
