What ever happened to Lucky the Dinosaur?

Hay, just looking over some old posts of mine and I was reminded about Lucky. I know he was at Disney in Florida a few years ago and went to Hong Kong. After that I dunno. :shrug:

Anyone seen it around anywhere in the world or did he go extinct? :ROFLOL:

Operational costs were probably more than $.01 so TDO deemed it an "unnecessary expense".

Last time I heard he was in a warehouse in Anaheim. One thing we need to remember was Lucky was a prototype and like most prototypes was prone to frequent breakdowns. I doubt we will ever see him outside of a backstage tour again.

Yes he was the prototype for things like the Muppet Mobile Labs, which is still doing the rounds at WDW.

Wait MML is still at WDW where and when???????? i have never seen it and i have been dying to.

I don't believe that to be the case.

I saw MML in Hong Kong (where it went after it left WDW) about 18 months ago, and it hasn't come back as far as I know.

I had read somewhere (don't ask me where) that he still makes occasional appearances at functions in Glendale. Private stuff.

Just noticed he was at Disney's D23 Expo 2009 like 7 months or so ago for a meet & greet. Guess he comes out of hibernation every once in a while. :shrug:

They should do a life sized version of an AT-AT and have it walk down a parade. That's be the riskiest thing Disney would have done. The coolest too!!!

Considering that it would be nearly 75 feet tall I think it would classify as both.
