"Unveiling Disney's Cutting-Edge Animatronics at Tiana's Bayou Adventure"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Los Angeles Times
Disneyland is introducing cutting-edge robotics, including lifelike animatronics, at Tiana's Bayou Adventure and Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. The new droids, known as BDX droids, can dance, coo, and interact with guests. Disney is investing $60 billion in its experiences division, with a focus on parks and resorts. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, a retheme of Splash Mountain, will feature lifelike audio-animatronics and is set to open later this year. The attraction aims to ground the fantastical story of "The Princess and the Frog" in the reality of New Orleans.
