But the fact it lunges towards the vehicle is pretty freaky... I almost sweared as I almost became its next meal because I was sitting closest to it...

the movement is ok, still could be better, but it just doesnt look real enough to be like "WOW!". There is no wow factor.

yeah that was my barrier from an swear. I was all "HOLY SH-- Oh wait it's movements aren't real." What kept me from that on Ghost Galaxy was the fact I wasn't next to the ghost when he pops up at the end.

Whoa that's so lifelike! I'm happy they chose to replace that AA in particular, it's positioning has always bothered me for some reason.

The snake is alright.. they could have done better I guess. But it still scares me! (bad...)

Compare the current snake to the old one and you'll see the diference.

there was an old one? I thought they've been using the same snake ever since.

The new AA looks amazing! I love it. Great job, WDI.

No, the snake you see now is the new one that they installed during the 2004 Major Refurb of IJA.

The new one is more advanced and realistic than the old one.

I know theres pics of the old snake floating around the internet.

Hehe, boy, if people can even remember the old snake, try remembering when it last moved, lol. Thats the challenge!
I remember asking about that snake to the Disney people and this is what I got as a reply when the old snake was down for the longest time. This is an OLD email as you can see by the date.

Would this be the older version? Or just faded paint?

I can't acess the link for some reason. But I've seen that pic before.

And yes, that is the old snake.

Why are all the pics of the new Indiana Jones animatronic missing?

mrhappybomb · 11-17-2009, 05:48 PM
