My fave thing in Watermouth Castle. This is Captain Andy’s River Towne Band. They were made in America for the River Towne Restaurant Company (a restaurant like Chuck E. Cheese). This set were brought by a UK theme park called Thorpe Park, then went to another theme park before ending up at Watermouth Castle.
The band were in a theatre building and the show played every half an hour from 12 noon to 5pm. The show was about 5 mins and I adored watching it. The main stage had Captain Andy and 4 other dogs. On the side of the theatre behind glass is 3 cats, 2 frogs and a Hippo. At the back of the theatre was a bird/seagull. It looks like originally, in the River Towne Restaurants, all the characters were on stage but the theatre in Watermouth Castle is quite small so they have spread the characters around the theatre.
My fave character was Captain Andy, I also loved the cats. The show looked to be in great condition which I was so happy about. I love it when people love and look after animatronics. There aren’t many chances to see animatronics in the UK which means I sadly haven’t seen many in real life, so watching Captain Andy and his band was an amazing experience.

They actually are in really good shape, cosmetically and mechanically. Although the programming is pretty bad and it doesn’t utilize the characters to their full potential which is sad. This is a pretty cool band

There was a Rivertowne in Baltimore County MD when I was very young/small. All of the characters were on stage back then, with extensive dialogue, the frog's wife often threatening him with the rolling pin, and the extravagant Hippo doing songs Mae-West style, including a version of the Creedence Clearwater (most famously performed by Ike & Tina Turner ) Proud Mary.

They aren’t programmed they use hydraulic systems, which is why the keep on repeating the same motions. To “program” them better would to rip out their hydraulics and put in new ones, which would be a lot harder than writing a few new lines of code.

sir smoss all animatronics are powered by hydraulics, and they are programmed lol. Even Disney animatronics are powered by hydraulics, there is a better way of programming them. I just think because it’s so old the technology to program them is outdated or would be too hard to convert.

The characters themselves are in great condition, but the mechanics seem to be on their last legs. The mouths barely sync up (broken decoders or stuck valves), the motions are jerky (improperly set air pressure). Some movements don't seem to work at all. Animatronics aren't really seen as profitable these days, so often they fall into dysrepair as they're not deemed worth fixing and tuning.
