Pics and Pins of the Boardwalk Barker

Here we will talk about the Mr. Potato Head Boardwalk Barker Audio Animatronics... A giant potato that is a mix of Roz from Monsters Inc Mike and Sulley to the Rescue and Buzz Lightyear from the Buzz attractions... He interacts with guests that pass by in the queue... In both coasts he is positioned differently. In DHS he is really only that the Standby guests can see almost before you board the car, and the FP will only see glimpse and hear him, while in DCA he is near the entrance to get peoples attention and everyone can see him...

This concept rendering was released near the beginning of the announcement, as you can see Mr. Potato Head doesn't look like this now....

The Mr. Potato Head getting into position with barely any arms and no eyes, ears, nose, or mouth...These two pics are from Imagineering of two Imagineers programming the Potato Head for his lines and tricks... Like pulling out his ear, a very impressive trick...In this picture from DCA, MPH pulls out his ear, this trick when done correctly is very impressive, he pulls it out and puts it back in... But sometimes his hand lets go of the ear and it falls to the floor, then he freezes in that position and waits for a Cast Member to come from behind the curtain and put the ear back into place...This photo was from the DHS Mr. Potato Head...
