Disney's Hall of Presidents Unveils New Rob-O-bama
As millions of U.S. revelers celebrated Independence Day with friends, family, and barbeque, a select few were able to witness the reopening of Disney's Hall of Presidents, complete with new upgrades and a couple of significant additions.
The hall honors all of the nation's presidents with speaking animatronic replicants that mimic important addresses and events. For the first time (the exhibit opened in 1971), a George Washington-Bot delivered the performance's opening address. The show now concludes with a speech from the brand new RobO-bama, which was created using footage from Obama's campaign trail and his inaugural address. Audio footage is provided from an interview conducted with the sitting president.
The theme park also modernized the hall's technology by installing digital audio, digital projection, and digital lighting. Historian Doris Kearns Goodwin touted the new additions and upgrades, and said that with the modernized exposition, Disney wants to "present to people a sense of the presidents as human beings." And, what better way to humanize a president than by creating a really creepy (check out the death stare Nixon is giving Clinton), animatronic RoboPrez? Let's just hope the PrezBots don't initiate the 2019 replicant uprising that some have predicted. [From: Engadget via DVICE]
