Good point. They need to refurb the Sunshine.

Ok, I only saw the "under new management" version once (hardly stomached it that once). What's the joke?

At the very end, when people are leaving, near the end of the people leaving part, Iago said he was tired and going to the Hall of Presidents for a nap.

I've noticed that Disney doesn't really mess with animatronics unless they are new ones. The old ones still move and look like 30 year old robots. Maybe they do things to them, but it's hard to tell.

"Under New Management" will always be her first version.

I went again tonight with my brother, so he could see it. I noticed that one of the flower planters was making an audible hiss. Someone must have called maintenance, as the guy walked in during mid-show to check it out. I also saw another former monorail worker that was transferred there and was working as a greeter. He too recognized me and we had a short chat before the pre-show. I forgot to ask him if he knew about this site, I know many there do.

True, but in Walt's Day, there would be no lawsuit,if say, an animatronic went unattended for an entire show, popped a spring, and bounced off
Timmy or Tammy's nose. That trauma could last a LIFETIME :rolleyes:

Oh, that brings back a memory. I can't really say anything here, but suffice it to say that the guest in question was a moron to think they even had a case.
