Re: The Revival of the AA Theatre-Style Attraction
This brings an interesting observation: Jungle Cruise does not have any AAs.
The term Audio-Animatronic refers to a life like human figure that follows a pre determined program for movement and is synchronized with audio.
The figures in the Jungle Cruise, at least the majority of them, are simple mechanical figures not programmed or controlled by a computer.
So to ask if the Jungle Cruise would be popular with it's Audio-Animatronics the answer is clearly yes.
Could they have built a Pirates attraction without AAs? Certainly they could, and it was Walt's original intent. Would it have been as good as the finished Pirates, maybe not, but that's not to say it would be bad either. Disney produced attractions without AAs that are still in the park today - and they're considered fairly good too.
I think the question you have to ask is: would a new attraction be as interesting and entertaining without the AA figures. If it's not, than there's no reason in bringing AAs into the fold, because the AA figures themselves won't save an attraction.
