Okay Disney, I'm willing to bargain: All will be forgiven in SWGE if you use your robot technology to have a platoon of fifty Stormtroopers walk through the land, in formation. And if you play the John Williams music. Do we have a deal?
You got about 10 minutes before some idiot with a camera tries to go "bowling" by ramming into them with an equally stupid friend recording it.

I get what you're saying, but the risk of guests knocking or kicking robots over exists whether there's one (Olaf) or 50 and Disney looks to be placing a bet this is not an issue and/or that they're training the robots to handle this (i.e., instantly tuck down into a stable pose to prevent a dominoes-like effect, when it sees someone coming at them, given the robots can see everybody).

There's a risk of people destroying food delivery robots and self-driving taxis and robots at Disneyland (or wherever robots end up over the next few decades). In Disneyland, at least, people are trapped so consequences are faced.

These robots will be either behind a barrier or being watched carefully by a squadron of security guards disguised as fellow tourists.

From a cost perspective... I assume it would be a lot cheaper just to hire 50 people to walk through the land in formation.

IMHO Robots should be limited to things that we can't just use humans for

e.g., Giving warm hugs.

Or, to avoid the moronic public who will mess with them, make about 9 of them, break them up into groups of 3 and have them patrol a few rooftops. Get a few more cast members in costume patrolling the ground and get some dang drones that look like ships going in the distance already.
