I saw that Lucky was at D23. I thought he was supposed to call DCA his home but I have never seen him. Any news about seeing lucky in the parks???

Re: Lucky the Dino
He was original in DAK, not DCA. For some reason all of these characters (Lucky, Wall-E, and Muppet Lab) have been delegated to part-time, special showings only. Disney has never really stated why, only really falling back on statements that they are experimental things.Originally posted by DisneylandPlanner View PostCheck out my blog - Coreplex: Rambling from inside the Grid

he was originally in DCA but then, since it was disneyland's 50th birthday, WDW decided to give itself another present and they took him to Animal Kingdom for a few months. Then he went to hong kong for that park's opening.Comment

Re: Lucky the Dino
Because they're remote-controlled, somewhat autonomous Audio Animatronic figures, they might be dangerous. They must weigh a ton or so, and if a radio connection went haywire they could seriously injure a guest. At least, that's the story I hear most often when asked why they aren't regular attractions.MiceChat from Main Street.MiceChat goes mobile with the Mouseaddict app for iPhone and iPad!

Re: Lucky the Dino
Looks like the arrival of useful 'free' (not bolted to the ground) AIs will be evolutionary, not revolutionary. I'm glad to see that Disney is anteing up with the budget for the experiments.Originally posted by flynnibus View PostTom Chaney Memorial Debate Lounge VeteransigpicComment

Re: Lucky the Dino
He doesn't really "Fit" in DCA. He would come out of a tent set up near the old dinner near the back corner and walk around the streets then go back into his "cave". I never got to see him there but did finally get to see him at D23 and he is awesome. BTW he is not really "free roaming". He has a driver and operator hidden in that cart that he "pulls". He controls the forward and backward movement plus Lucky's body and head/neck movements. I think he also provided Lucky's "Voice".Peter Pan Forever!!! I Will Never Grow Up.

Re: Lucky the Dino
If that were the real issue, they wouldn't be used in ANY public situation.Originally posted by Rongo View Post
I really don't know what the actual reason is why they haven't decided in a permanent location. All I can guess is that they are too technologically intensive to be able to be used in a consistent basis.Comment

Re: Lucky the Dino
At the D23 convention, they were very specific in where they had people stand next to Wall-E, and what parts of him they could touch. He may be sturdy, but he's probably easily broken if you were to say, lean with your hand on his head. Lucky the Dinosaur, however, you could touch and pet, and there really weren't any pinch points to be concerned about.Comment
