at Disneyworld. outside Aladdin's ride, the camel statue can spit water and a CM operates it.
Mr Toads statue that used to be on his ride is now in the haunted mansion pet cemetary.
I forgot what the plack says thou.
Wierd Disney Parks secrets
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Sort of. Cast Members at that attraction can turn the camel on and off, but the exact moments he spits are determined by a timer.drcorey wrote:at Disneyworld. outside Aladdin's ride, the camel statue can spit water and a CM operates it.
This is actually a new statue, not one moved from the former attraction.Mr Toads statue that used to be on his ride is now in the haunted mansion pet cemetary.

Re: Wierd Disney Parks secrets
Normally Central Shops uses different materials for indoor vs. outdoor construction, as the indoor fixtures don't have to be UV and water resistant. I suppose it's possible they stuck the old statue on a new base and coated both with an exterior treatement that is UV resistant, but that's not their usual approach.drcorey wrote:weird, everyone said it was a ride building statue repainted.Zazu wrote:This is actually a new statue, not one moved from the former attraction.drcorey wrote:Mr Toads statue that used to be on his ride is now in the haunted mansion pet cemetary.
But if you have that data from someone who worked in Shops or Imagineering at the time, I'll bow to that. I'll certainly grant that the figures came from the same mold, as the size and posture are the same.

My understanding is that everything we read on the internet is true.

Lincoln made the mistake of not logging out of his Facebook account.
Washington just took advantage of that opprotunity. Now look what happened.
