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."

  1. I'm praying now. by fuqqer · · Score: 0, Troll

    Now I'm praying for mecha-Jurassic park. Maybe the robots will go crazy, and eat a lawyer. Just like the movie yeah! Ohhh, and they could go crazy and kill lots more people and Disney-World/Land would get nuked.

    Maybe then lawyers will band together and shutdown that poor excuse for entertainment. I mean come on, what has Disney done lately? Other than appeal to the widest deomgraphic with crap entertainment to get your money. Just so they can lobby congress to extend their copyrights on what was once good media and is now only exploited for more money...

    Another useless rant by some guy who obviously never got to go to Disney theme parks because his parents didn't want to be 'bilked' of their savings.

    I'm too lazy to use a sig field so you'll have to read this I guess.
