Dan, That's a good question.....Thanks, Connie!<br /><br />Dan, That's a good question...I'm not sure about that. I wonder if they cover Mr. Potato Head after the park closes even if it isn't raining?TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440013033477237104.post-37212281610319281982011-02-03T19:16:13.084-08:002011-02-03T19:16:13.084-08:00Outdoor animatronics are amazing!

The <a href="http://meettheworldinprogressland.blogspot.com/2009/07/lost-jungle-cruise.html" rel="nofollow">Jungle Cruise Toucans and Hornbilled Bird</a> (both removed from Anaheim when the Indy attraction was built) had hard exterior surfaces that were painted as if they were covered with feathers. The barker bird appeared to be covered with the same soft material as the birds inside the Tiki Room. I do wonder what happened to it when it rained? Maybe someone would climb up there, unplug him and bring him in out of the rain?<br /><br />Major, I was also wondering if the blue and red birds could've been the same figure with just different coverings. I just assumed that they would've had at least one spare to put up there in case one of them broke down....but who knows for sure?TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440013033477237104.post-86159025054767697622011-02-01T12:08:34.515-08:002011-02-01T12:08:34.515-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440013033477237104.post-78815680358227305532011-02-01T10:04:25.570-08:002011-02-01T10:04:25.570-08:00I wonder if the blue barker bird is the exact same...I wonder if the blue barker bird is the exact same animatronic, just "re-skinned", or if they actually built another one? Love the two photos of the same display case from different years. The old display was definitely more interesting!<br /><br />Looking forward to parts 2 & 3...Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440013033477237104.post-89335920015256053032011-02-01T07:53:06.859-08:002011-02-01T07:53:06.859-08:00It's pretty interesting that the bird was outs...It's pretty interesting that the bird was outside. It's one thing to develop an animatronic that operates within the controlled environment of the Tiki Room. It something more involved to create one to function outside in the weather and elements. <br /><br />But then again, what am I saying? Isn't that what the Jungle Cruise is all about?<br /><br />I like the hat on "barker bird". Nice touch.Snow White Archivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04715594290214114608noreply@blogger.com
