Jim Hill comes through with a great picture of the new Muppet Mobile Laboratory at WDI:

This is the next generation of free-roaming animatronic. Lucky was great.. but this is even better!

I can't wait to see this thing in person.

I know this is a TRUE Jim Hill media thing because I had a video conference during a class I had down in Disney and he mentioned this and Toy Story Mania as two of the current imagineering projects.

Oooh - I hope this is at WDW when we return next October - we missed out on seeing Lucky. Would be really disappointed if this also evades us!

I've seen Lucky on video and it was truly amazing. This is just a mind blower. You can just imagine the things that are going to go wrong and involve poor old Beaker. When it hits WDw someone has to video it for us. Ricky?

I'll be likely to see it. I am now working over in the Muppet Courtyard area at a merchandise cart. I'll get a kick out of it as I am a muppet fan.

You got credit for this story on Boing Boing. You should get Cory on the show sometime.

Wanna hear something funny and yet completely embarassing? Cory Doctorow was going to be my first guest on the show, waaaaaay back within a couple of weeks of me starting it. We had scheduled an interview for 7am EST or so on a weekday, as he was overseas (as he generally is). Guess what I did? Completely forgot and slept right through it. Embarassed Rolling Eyes

He's a very busy man and working a podcast interview into his schedule is no small task. Perhaps we'll give it a whirl again some time.

Speaking of Lucky, what happened to him? Do they still use him at AK? Everyone talks about him like he is a thing of the past. Is that true?

Last I heard he was taking a tour of all the Disney Parks. This was maybe a year ago that I heard it though so I'm not sure if he is still touring or just sleeping... Hmm...
