Toy Story Mania Mr. Potato Head Barker Promotional Box

Toy Story Mania will be opening at Disney's Hollywood Studios in May, 2008. The attraction blends "4D" technology (3D screens/glasses + practical effects, like water squirting riders) with an interactive carnival-themed shooting element, similar to Disney's own Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin at the Magic Kingdom, only taken to the next level.

Mr. Potato Head will be acting as the attraction's barker, standing in front of the queue, enticing guests to enter. It looks like he's getting an early start in his new role, as he's already inviting us to join him at the attraction via this mailing from Disney.

And Mr. Potato Head has been doing some test runs in California Adventure.

There are some youtube videos of him.

i went to see the real thing and it seems they have taken some of the interactivity out. i mean he's still interactive but i saw this video where he drops the ear he takes out so i guess they didn't want it happening again and they took that feature out for a while

It's a Genie mouth for your Mr. Potato Head.
