This morning, I was fortunately asked to attend a breakfast at the IAAPA convention in Orlando, where Disney’s Bob Chapek was speaking. Mr. Chapek gave us some insight on what technology is to come in the near future at Disney Parks. The next level in audio-animatronics is on the horizon, “stuntronics.” These robots, if you will, can jump and fly. It’s amazing. You can see more about these new “stuntronics” plus hear more of what’s to come on the link below.
Also, the new Disney Skyliner “gondola” transportation system will be opening in Fall 2019 according to what we were told this morning. Here’s a clip of that announcement from Bob Chapek. Don’t forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel for more info!
A huge thank you to the PR team at Walt Disney World for the invitation. Stay tuned to TMSM for more breaking news as we hear!
