Animatronics are becoming such a lost art these days, you love to see em! It does me good to see places like this preserving and using them!

@venturereclipse6833 3 жыл бұрын

I absolutely adore animatronics, I have since long before FNAF became popular, and I love seeing so many of them here! Also, I love the old CEC animatronics. Nice to see them given new life, those ones are nearly extinct.

@UrSammich 2 жыл бұрын

I've loved animatronics, it varies, but I find them unique and interesting. Disney still keeps them alive mostly, but the old days of animatronic bands are sadly done for. While I hate to admit it, FNAF has brought some renewed interest in animatronics, both people wanting to view them and own/refurb them. So I think we could see a eventual resurge, but with Scott Cawthon no longer making FNAF games, interest might dewindle.

Those characters up on the building actually were aliens from an old buzz lightyear style shooting game, it was a really fun dark ride I loved it when I was little! It then got turned into a minigolf course and then a pizza place took over. It’s pretty cool they kept the figures around though. I honestly never noticed that despite basically living there oops.

7:41 I swear that that's Disney's Brer Rabbit with a but with a Green Shirt. It looks way too similar to him. The fact that they have the Crows from Dumbo on the same exact ride makes me think it's SUPPOSED to be Brer Rabbit. That's pretty cool they included him.

I’ve been going there since I was a baby! One of my favorite attractions was the train ride around the park. Looking and listening to the animatronics now make this part of the board walk seem like a time capsule!

It also holds a special place in my heart because I had my first ever dark ride experience there. It wasn't the Dark Ride featured here, though. At the time, they had a haunted mine cart ride. Sadly, it appears to be lost to history. Thank you for this lovely trip down Memory Lane!

The ride was designed by Wayne Seddon who worked for Bill Tracy. Some of the stunts are from Gillian’s first dark ride, Tracy’s Ghost Creek Caverns. Some of the stunts were molded from Tracy stunts and some were built by Wayne to resemble Tracy stunts, like the prisoner, the rat and the bat. Wayne made the gravestone as a homage to his former boss. www.laffinthedark.com/articles/gillians/ghh_P1.html
