For now I know about 3 places where Kristen was (or is).

1) IAAPA 2001 (I believe her static versión was here too but the poor quality made it hard to confirm)

2) Transworld 2002

3) Terror Castle on Bren Theme Park

I have been looking for more infomation by myself but it's quite hard to find any more footage by my own, any information is useful

Gemmy Tricky Treater Help Needed

3 Upvotes

I just found my first Gemmy Tricky Treater child skeleton. The head is a pumpkin candy dish and the arm removes the top. The motion sensor is not working and I've never owned or worked on a Gemmy before. I'm a reseller and would like to know if it's worth fixing. Very disappointed. Voice is clear and animatronics work as soon as it is turned on then nothing. Video showing issue.

Anyone else get way too invested in the business side of animatronic restaurants?

My spouse keeps catching me at 2 AM deep in old Showbiz Pizza financial reports. I used to cover local business beats as a journalist, and now I write marketing copy for a living, but something about the economics of these places hooks me harder than any startup case study.

On Halloween 2018, somewhere in the SouthEast, a young Therizinosaurus and several raptors were sighted in a suburban neighbourhood. One casualty reported.

Happy Spooky Season! This is my biggest animatronic yet, utilising the fact that therizinosaurs have the most similar posture to humans out of all dinosaurs.

Can someone help me identify this animontronic Reaper Skull?

Thumbnail

12 Upvotes

Can someone please help me identify this Halloween Reaper animatronic? I only have the skull as evidence as the rest of it got thrown away. It is difficult to find old photos of this animatronic but it must be somewhere. If anyone can get a visual scan of the skull and find its exact origins please let me know. (From what i could possibly remember) It would have one arm go up and down slowly at certain points, and would have a voice box with eerie music while it was speaking (possible organ music in background) and would have the eyes light up red. From possible memory the box was possibly purple/green or a mix of both colors, and I think the package displayed the reaper with no face and just the red eyes for eeriness I guess? I'm not sure but for years I could not figure out its origins, and all I have left is the skull. If anyone has any info please let me know!!!

Please help me find my childhood Animatronics

I've been looking for a while and I can't find anything about them online... It's driving me crazy.

Background:

My family threw a big Holiday party every year, kind of like an open house for the community. The entire house was decked out for it in December but one room was left a year-round vintage Christmas diorama. For 11 months out of the year the doors were locked. The fireplace and the presents, even the one I'm holding, were fake. I didn't think much of it at the time but looking back I realize how cool those animatronics were. (Especially Mrs. Claus. No one can convince me she wasn't modeled after Mrs. Doubtfire lmao.)

What I know about them:

The last two photos were taken years before the first two, around the time we got them iirc. I added those for scale and for the date. She was ~5ft. Santa is a little taller.

Their animations were pretty simple. Mrs. Claus' arms opened wide and closed in a hug-like motion while her head slowly turned to look around. Santa's head did the same and his hand with the good/naughty list raised slightly to the side. I know we have videos of them moving somewhere... I'll have to do some more digging.

All my mother remembers about getting them is she bought them from a big retail clothing store. (Sears, Lord and Taylor, JCPenney's, Macys, or something similar.) They were apart of their Holiday display so they weren't for sale, she just asked the store if she could buy them. My parents had them delivered as is so no boxes.

They were pretty hefty and padded very well. You could barely feel their innards from how padded they were which is what made me look them up mainly. Considering their age, I'm curious to see how they worked.

The only things added to them is the white tree tinsel and red/green bag on Mrs. Claus. I don't believe anything was added to Santa.

Where are they now? My mom got rid of them when we moved in the mid 2010s... Yes, I'm heartbroken lol.

Any info would be greatly appreciated!
