Disney Imagineering - Audio Animatronics

[JaredSPeters]

I'd love to be a show programmer. But I heard you have to study and know exactly how the puppets work before you're even considered. Doesn't look like it takes much knowledge of the actual figures.

i wanna see gomer thro the piano! ahahahaha!

[HAISPAM]

"Si!"

*Jack Benny pose* "Now, CUT THAT OUT!"

Well, that was certainly the last thing I'd expect.  Good to see Jack's spirit lives on.

I'm sorry.. but I have to laugh at the idea of an animamatronic throwing his piano... xD

[CosplayCore]

Mr. Walt was there when they started planning the Pirates Of The Caribbean ride?! :'D Yeeeee~ -loves it even more now- Walt was AWESOME.~ Hey can anyone reccomend some other like, lesser known, Walt cartoons to me that I can look up on here? I wanna see more of his stuff. :3

[slamaholic]

what was the last one at the end with three heads? never seen that one before

[80sCommercialVault]

That's a troll from "Maelstrom" at Epcot Center.

[crazysingingchick]

I LOVE the troll in that ride, although the giant one in the water really freaks me out in a good way.

[CosplayCore]

@80sCommercialVault

Maelstrom? I've been three times and never heard of that. D: What kind of ride/attraction was it?

[80sCommercialVault]

@CosplayCore It's at the Norway pavilion at Epcot. It's still there.

[AllieIsTheSoxFan]

yeah that's in a norway ride in the world showcase i went there last year it was amazing :)

[GoodPolarGirl]

Aw, good times.

Too bad they've turned into Di$ney now. They've made everything worse since then. :(

Oh well, I still like it anyway.

[jar0fdirt63]

The guy is WRONG the carousel of progress is not closed ge just stooped sponsorship in 1985 still operating today.

[80sCommercialVault]

The Carousel of Progress of progress in WDW has reportedly been at the chopping block several times, somehow avoiding closure through the years. It's likely Sklar was referring to a closure that never occurred. He also might have mixed it up with the one at Disneyland, which closed in 1973.

[Costerguy1234556]

"somehow avoiding closure"

Walt said when he was still alive that ride most remain working forever.

[80sCommercialVault]

The Imagineers of today have little regard left for "what Walt said". The almighty dollar is king.

[ChimcharEvolved]

That's because carousel of progress R-U-L-E-S!!!!

[bprett]

how i miss the old tiki room... it USED to be enchanted, now it's just obnoxious. this made me really nostalgic.

do you have the old disney bumper (i think it was with eric boardman) and it was a segment on "the fastest ride at disney world" and they interviewed guests to the park. The answer: the monorail! wish i could find a video of that...

[80sCommercialVault]

The updated show at Disney World is an abomination. If you ever make a trip to California, go to Disneyland. Though the Tiki Room there has been shortened by a few minutes, it's still essentially the original show.

I have some more video with Eric that will be posted here, but unfortunately not the "Fastest Ride" bit. I wish I could see that one again too.

[ajbsbbaby]

that music is so rad

[MSW32281]

I love nostalgic Disney...what awesome memories! It's just too bad they went corporate and sold out in the 90s.

[KablamBoom]

agreed

[Invaderjes]

I've heard people say that seeing the behind-the-scenes stuff reguarding Disney animatronics takes some of the magic out of it.. I disagree. Seeing this stuff makes me appreciate it even more.

[Jal8919536]

I have this one.

[schrambal]

Cool sweater!

[kittymow321]

he DOES have a magic sweater!

amazing!!!!!!!
