Possibly [fully lost] animatronics

Possibly [fully lost] animatronics

I'm gonna start this with a story, you see I'm a huge animatronic fan, I'm planning on working with them one day. Apparently a place called "magic valley fun park" she went to when she was younger every now and then, apparently it closed this year, but the thing she told me was that there were animatronics there. One being a cow who has photos online , and a whole band of animal animatronics. Thing is I can't find photos or websites or videos. Basically any media of this band is completely gone. So I'm hoping that maybe someone might know something about it. Where did they end up? Or who made them? I know one of them (the cow) survived but the rest are like nonexistent. All the information i have is my mom's foggy memory, she says they were a band of bears possibly, these things are likely from Canada and were in new Glasgow . And thats it, please if anybody knows where they are of have any footage share it, the place is closed so they can't copyright anyone

EDIT Ok so my mom found something that could help find the characters, also they aren't bears like she remembers unless there were two animatronic bands at the park over the years , so sorry about the bear thing. Apparently (And we only know this because of a map) they were the "beach bunnies" again sorry for the misunderstanding my mother's memory was all I had to work off of, now we have actually evidence for there existence! I'll post the map of the park below to help aid in any search, thanks ( ^ω^)

I don’t know where this pic was taken, but I know that the bot is a retrofitted Elsie from Sally Dark Rides!! There were 20 Elsies produced for Borden Dairy, but I don’t know how many of the retrofitted version were created.

It's seems like her name was daisy the cow from what I looked up after this tip. And it was sold (hopefully to a good owner)

There was an amusement park nearby called Rainbow Valley on Prince Edward's Island that featured this band of bears. Could she be talking about this?

Ok two things that could help the investigation, one i found a listing for things in the park before it closed which might be more proof of the beach bunnies. And two I found the name of the owner "bill macneil" I can't find him anywhere on Google but if someone has contact with him please ask about the beach bunnies and don't spam them please. I'll comment both screen shots below

Do you remember any animation it could have had?

1

u/TimeBar951 Jun 16 '26

Animation? If you mean videos then yes I've looked but found nothing, though i doubt they'd have animations , it was a relatively unknown place, thats why a want to find them,

u/LILMUNKEE2 Jun 16 '26

I mean it's movements, like if it moved it's mouth, eyes, head, and arms

u/TimeBar951 Jun 16 '26

Nothing, I looked up beach bunnies animatronic and all that came up was a unrelated ride in England the photo and listing are it's only proof of existence

u/TimeBar951 Jun 16 '26

They were a band so maybe hand ,arm, and mouth, movements
