Why? Some of the most famous attractions use ride systems developed by outside companies.

There is a time and place for outsourcing.

Absolutely correct.

Though animatronics has always been an Imagineering thing. They should have kept Maleficent dragon in house.


Though... the Yeti in Expedition Everest was done in house if i'm not mistaken and it's not workin.

So... either way... someone's dropping the ball. Look at the Monorail for further evidence.

Actually, rumors are the Yeti has been repaired. It's been over a year, but it's being tested sporadically during park hours for guests in a slightly modified show mode.

It also requires regular maintenance. Unfortunately, when budget matters come up, maintenance has often been the first to be deferred.

Agree 100% - It shouln't have been let go this long on the first place.

The problem with the Yeti is that its concrete foundation cracked and the way the ride is constructed, they'd have to remove the mountain to re-pour it.

So....did Murphey/Bucky 2.0/Maleficent rise up from her slumber tonight? Anyone heard any news?

[Nautilus]

^ Nope. Not ready. They're aiming for July 17th at this point.

[TrevorD]

And here I thought I was going to see it....

[WDITrent]

So... the dragon should be up by at least August?

I would assume so. Then again, most all of us were assuming she would be up atleast by June 12...

[BassBone]

She... The dragon is a she.
