112	Jim in Merced CA Fri 4/11/2008 7:06a	I'm not slamming Mr. Potato Head. After all they hype, I was expecting something more...
113	WilliamK99 Fri 4/11/2008 7:19a	Gravy?
114	Jim in Merced CA Fri 4/11/2008 7:24a	I was definitely expecting one of your smart ass comments.
115	WilliamK99 Fri 4/11/2008 7:29a	Honestly, I asked you this before, what exactly were you expecting?
116	Jim in Merced CA Fri 4/11/2008 7:53a	More.
117	barboy Fri 4/11/2008 8:56a	"More" ? What more could they have done? They started with an asinine idea for an attraction---- in the most asinine section of Disney's most asinine park. But once Disney chose to have another real life video game for an attraction, cartoon based even, what more could we expect? I would have preferred a large Woody instead since I have always found Potato Head boring...... but Potato Head is very appropriate too for this stupid ride and he was done magnificently--- no AA in a theme park has ever come remotely close in quality of movements and sound.

I'm assuming the operators are just getting used to operating him, and as they become more facile, we'll see a greater range of "dialogue" and greater interaction. I know Rickles recorded far more stuff than we've seen in these videos so far.

120	Jim in Merced CA Fri 4/11/2008 1:52p	<but Potato Head .... was done magnificently--- no AA in a theme park has ever come remotely close in quality of movements and sound.> See, I just disagree with this. The Wicked Witch of the West in 'Great Movie Ride' is a better AA figure. Heck, the new Auctioneer in 'Pirates of the Caribbean' is a better AA figure. Even the Jack Sparrow AAs are superior to Mr. Potato Head.
