Are there more information about Disney plans for animatronic characters in its parks ?

I read articles online that states Disney company is planning to use animatronic Muppets characters in its parks in the future. Would the technology affects the current employees or " characters" employment in the parks ?|||Yes, Disney has been experimenting with this for a few years. At Animal Kingdom in Orlando, Florida - at Christmas time, guests can interact with a Christmas tree on wheels. It is powered by a remote control and talks to guests in a funny squeaky voice.


However, I don't think this change will phase out the need for real people. A computer can only do so much and Disney emphasizes guest interaction. People to people communication is always a better bet than people to robot.

|||no, it would more than likely expand their employees because they would need more mechanical engineers and what not|||Disney already has several audioanimatronic (what they call their robots) figures operating in its parks, and they usually are used for ride scenery, the park employees won't be affected. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't get more, I don't know if it will be Muppets though.|||No it won't effect any of the characters in the park. I seriously doubt that you will be seeing an Animatronic Cinderella or Mickey Mouse.





This will actually increase the ability for characters in the park, as it opens up the ability for more advanced characters and there will always have to be a "handler".





Not sure if this is the article you are talking about but it gives a bit more info.
