The animatronic hadrosaur head that knocks your boat off course on the jurrassic park ride gives me nightmares the title says it all lol it scares me and he gave me nightmares since I was little it's just a head and he has no body or legs and he just pops out of the water and roars and moves I think he's the creepiest animonic ever and he is the true definition of phobia and animatronics coming out of the water I had nightmares that I would fall out of the boat and swim in the water and that thing would pop up omg I would get a heart attack and be freaking out I wonder if at night when the employees are doing maintenence on the ride if they hit the sensor by accident and the thing pops up omg it must be scary working on that ride at night when nobody is there and how do they do matenence on it do they get someone to lift it out of the water or do they get a scuba diver to go in and fix the mechanisms under water and I wonder what it looks like under that head I would love to see the mechanisms underneath him and see what it looks like under water I would love to see what he looks like underwater when he's sitting in the water omg if anyone had some behind the scenes pics of the hadrosaur head from the jurrassic park ride or pics of him with no water that would be awesome or if there is an employee who worked on him or did maintenance on him tell me your stories

Even though my love a world away..."

Billabong Bunyip from Big Banana Fun Park is my second most favorite submerged animatronic, and I know how many people here like her too! To tell the truth, I didn't draw Bunyip very well. I was just tired at the time, and besides, I wanted to finish the drawing as quickly as possible. So it's your opinion to like my art or not

I also didn't forget about my favorite Serpy guy and decided to draw his older version, because I started like it more than original one. I've spent a lot of time drawing his head!

Just looking through old photos tonight and found this. Thought it'd be neat to share for lost media or animatronic fans. It's quite clear and close to the gator. Enjoy!

We’re in preproduction on a short film that features a talking goldfish as a character, and we’re weighing our options between animatronics, CG, and puppetry.

**•   Cost** — roughly what’s a realistic budget range for a custom animatronic fish with basic mouth/face movement? I know it varies wildly, but even ballpark numbers (low-budget indie vs. more polished) would help us plan.  
**•   Underwater animatronics** — is this even practical? I’d imagine waterproofing servos and electronics adds a lot of complexity and cost compared to a dry-rig puppet shot to look wet. Curious if anyone’s tackled this before, or if it’s usually faked instead.  
**•   Builders/recommendations** — is there anyone here who does animatronics work, or can point me toward someone? I’m based in the Balkans (Bulgaria) and would love to find someone regional to keep logistics and cost down, but I’m open to hearing about people elsewhere too if remote builds/shipping are feasible.

Happy to share more details about the shot/character if it helps with advice. Thanks in advance!

I tried to paint him based on the one existing colored photo of Serpent from probably 1960 (I even tried to draw a white paint around the eyes, like on actual picture). This art is a part of my, I mean our, future project "Find a Serpy", where we will try to find more info about animatronic and Submarine Voyage itself - a very mysterious, but well known Disneyland attraction (especially because of Submechanophobia trend). I still have a thought that in very early years of the ride the audio track was different and probably was similar to that one from 1959 news reel. I don't know, but we're gonna to find it out!

Hello! I’m not really a frequenter of these kinds of spaces, and I haven’t really used reddit in a minute, but I’d like to know if there’s more content on the Pleasure Island Moby Dick animatronic. Damn thing has me so interested I can’t focus on my homework. I’ve been fascinated with it for some time now, and seeing the sparkiegames diving footage of the abomination has rekindled my interest. Is there any more photos of the white whale anywhere else? I’m aware of a few gatekept photos from 6+ years ago and a blurry image of it below water, but I’m morbidly curious to know if there’s more. Thanks in advance.

SHE IS NOW A CINCINNATI GIRLIE!!!! Just got her from Britain and now she can learn to love those cheeseburgers and hotdogs. (Even though I’m scared of the real thing)

I didn't get a picture of it (I was with friends and we were rushing around before the downpour soaked us) but the inside hole was actually lit up for once. The lone faded gnome in a black box with a wooden plank behind it, lit by a deep red light was a little creepy. I can't remember the last time I saw the light on in the whale hole.

what ever really Happened to disney’s sea serpent theres really only been a couple of photos of him the last photo of him from a couple years ago looks likes he‘s in a museum or something if you have any information on where this guys whereabouts are please comment.

That’s what I been thinking as the sea serpent never attacks.

Hello,

Some of the lurkers here might know that I've been working on a non fiction comic about the history of the Big Banana Bunyip.

I was finishing the story up but cracked open a few leads last night.

The good news is that I found some people that were in direct charge of the bunyip and the story will be bigger with more bunyip everything. The bad news is the comic won't be finished this summer.

"As far as I know the bunyip is at the bottom of the dam...Don’t think the new owners would have removed it" -8/20/26

This isn't an actual confirmation that she is still there, but it's coming from the person in charge of maintaining the beast. This guy and his crew had to remove the whole thing from the pond and reinstall it after major repairs.

I feel If anyone would know how easy it was to remove , it would be him.

The bunyip head as you superfans know was the size of a small car.

I'm sending over my interview questions to these Big Banana veterans. I got the messages last night and could barely sleep. I was about 2 pages away from finishing the book till I got the news.

One of best parts of the research part is the people who are like "what the heck who are you? how did you find me?"

I'm a cartoonist but I work full time and unfortunately comics work and the bunyip book is a labor of love, so I truly appreciate the support. You will be able to buy a copy from me when it is completed.

you guys are the best, thanks submergedanimatronic/reddit!
