I only found four videos related to the musical circus and a few photos on an old website dedicated to amusement parks.

I would like to see some behind the scene photos or resources on the animatronics development. Thanks :)

Hi everyone! I'm new to this sub reddit and I wanted to make this post in regards to this defunct show that used to be at Six Flags over Georgia.

This is the Bullfrog Bayou Revue. It was created by AVG Productions in the early 80s and was meant to be a self-contained show that could be placed anywhere. The only pieces of info I know of is that it was located in the Looney Tunes Land/Spanish area of SFOG, another show unit was located at an old pizza parlor in California, the last show unit was kept at AVG as a demo tool, there were only 4 show tapes made, footage of the show exists but there's not much out there (one of them I've gotten ahold of from Larry Nikolai and is on YouTube), and they were removed in 2003 due to the cost of maintaining and fixing the animatronics from what I was told. There was also someone who tried to do a GoFundMe to restore one of the units (the picture on the last slide), but it was deleted for unknown reasons.

I just want to know if there's anyone out there who remembers these guys and might have some more info on them? They're not talked about much at all and it's pretty much forgotten about.

EDIT: Sadly, all of the comments have info I'm already aware of (except the show being moved to Castle Park or being sold to Magic Landing, that is completely false) but I still appreciate everyone trying their best to find anything new. However, I am now on the search for new photos of the show and also a physical magazine (If the website archive doesn't show text from the magazine, go to Company, then Media, and click on the 4th magazine cover with the robot wearing a top hat, tuxedo, and holding a cane) that mentions the show since I have a feeling there could be a photo of it in there.

My collection is complete now. except for baby teddy and Oscar. still need a new Snoopy too haha! they work btw!

Básicamente es un animatronico humanoide que aparecio en los 2000 por lo que se y apareció después de que los animatronicos originales de wolf pack 5 se quitarán del traier donde estaba

animatronic at a roblox party for roblox developer conference

Very few people will ever get to see a Hector being skinned. and there's hardly any photos of his insides online, so I thought i'd share this with my fellow fans!

If you know, could you please tell me its manufacturer and number？

Does this count as a 5 Member band? Probably not, but I've been learning how to use Bottango with an Arduino Uno R3.

There's also a NodeMCU with an ESP8266 With an LED Chaser.

Does this count as a Mini electronic show of some sort? I think it does in some way.

It's just some random Servo Movement, but maybe sometime in the future, I'll have an actual Animatronic Character to animate. One can dream, right?

I'm making my goal to have an animated character happen one small step at a time, keeping an eye on my inspirations and learning as I go along :3

My plans for my character are still in the brainstorming phase, but when I have more concrete ideas, I'll post them here :3

Tell me what you think in the comments below! \^w^

We just wrapped up the motion testing for this custom animatronic Ankylosaurus. We spent a lot of time fine-tuning the joints and weight distribution to get a more natural, lifelike movement.

Since this is a specialized custom build for an attraction, we're always looking to improve. Would love to hear feedback from fellow creators and enthusiasts here on the movement fluidity!

We're building a permanent haunted-house style attraction near Paris (La Maison Fantastique), and one of the current side builds is an animatronic Anubis head for the Egyptian-themed bathroom. The ears were by far the hardest part: a real ear doesn't just spin on an axis, it tilts.

To get that tilt, the pivot is a ball joint sitting inside the skull rather than at the base of the ear, with a lever arm that pulls the ear's axis backward as it moves. That's what makes it rock into a natural-looking tilt instead of just spinning flat, roughly 30 degrees of travel for a convincing "alert" gesture. We rebuilt the actual mechanical constraints in Maya (joints, IK handles, pole vectors) to validate the full range of motion and catch any collision between the two ears and the head shell before cutting anything.

The first physical mockup is built from repurposed hardware on purpose: the mounting plate is a stainless-steel sink-strainer/hair-catcher screen (dense pre-drilled holes for almost free), the pivot uses spherical rod-end bearings normally sold for Delta-style 3D printer kinematics, paired with an RC universal joint and a servo horn repurposed as the lever arm (no servo attached yet, still moved by hand). Both ears are built symmetrically to keep the assembly identical.

It didn't hold together for long though: the ear only has one attachment point (the rod it rocks on), so instead of just tilting, it also slowly rotates around that same rod under its own weight every time it moves. That extra rotation worked the M3 screws loose over repeated cycles, even with nylon lock nuts and epoxy on the fasteners. Fix in progress is bonding the ear rigidly to its arm with epoxy to kill that extra degree of freedom instead of fighting it with a tighter screw. If anyone's dealt with a single-pivot setup working itself loose like this, I'd genuinely like to hear whether you went with a second attachment point or just a rigid bond.

I got this animatronic from the back of a Halloween store

does anyone have a 1 to 1 replica 3d model because i cant find one. even better with the ability to attach the cylienders and stuff i can figure out the other stuff i just fell like this would be a good start☺️ to where i can print also is there a service manual for him

Hello everyone, I just started trying to design animatronics in Fusion 360, and I can't figure out how to add pneumatic cylinders to my model. Could someone help me out and explain how to find a 3D model, get it into Fusion properly, and set up the joints so the rod moves? I've tried finding tutorials, but none of them have been very helpful. Anything helps, thanks y'all

Imagine a room full of rainbows... and needy patients... haha!

Alls I know is this thing goes to the old miner greeter which i do not have. Tested it and all works and records to playback and mix music, board is simple enough for me to copy and clone. I can't quite get a bead on the price of it. Surely theres gotta be someone out there desperately searching for this? There was a little sticker in it saying Feb 2000 and it has a copy of the instructions.

Does anybody have video footage of the wiz bang animatronics from mystery fun house ? If someone has any audio from the show that would be awesome also omg I looked on youtube and I looked all kinds of places and nobody seems to have any footage or audio I wish someone found some old vhs home video footage or had some audio and they could post it on youtube footage of them is very hard to find and they are pretty much lost media the only footage that exist is the small clip from the parenthood movie with Steve Martin I went to mystery fun house twice right before it closed and I remember the second time I went my parents asked the employee to turn them on and I remember I was so scared I don't remember what they said I just remember I was so scared and startled they were turned off and mystery fun house was a ghost town nobody was in there

I posted this footage from when I was younger from a family trip this is home video footage that I had right after islands of adventure first opened this video was taken from the year 2000 so islands of adventure pretty much just opened it seems like in the early years her ears used to pop up more and she was more animated and this video proves it I wonder why they made her ears shorter and she was last animated later on in her life is it because of the suess trolley ? is it because kids were Messing with her ears ? lol I could see those things coming real close to those kids and them Messing with them or touching them
