Walking Animatronic Dinosaur At Disney Park

Posted by simoniker on from the attendants-following-with-shovel-and-bucket dept.

Dan Howland writes "Shades of Jurassic Park: Disney's first walk-around, interactive animatronic character, Lucky the dinosaur, is now strolling around Disney's California Adventure, but will probably move to Disney's Animal Kingdom in the coming weeks. It kinda walks on two legs, just as the rumors promised, but actually pulls a cart for additional balance (and to hide the computers). Videos can be found on the link above. More photos, and a video of Lucky blowing his nose here."

    I don't like how they have introduced it to slavery.

    What will archaeologists of the future think of this when they unearth its remains?

    It's a good thing Disney decided to put the computers in a cart behind the dino. Otherwise, I just know that about half of Slashdot would be out in Disneyland right now, wardriving (war-walking ?) Lucky and hacking the wireless protocol.
    Hi, my name is Lucky, and I luuuv yyy-y-y-y L-l-l-ook at you haCker (hacker), huffing and pUfFing as you cr-cr-crawl through my database (base). How can yOu coMpAre to a perperperfect, immmmmmortAl MaChIne ?
    That ought to send half the kids looking for cover, and the other half whipping out their trusty PsiAmp and overcharging Projected Pyrokinesis...

    John Hammond: All major theme parks have delays. When they opened Disneyland in 1956, nothing worked.

    Ian Malcolm: Yeah, but John, if the Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, the pirates don't eat the tourists.
