I don't like them either. I'd rather just look around at the scenery. Have you ever noticed the smell in there? That water on concrete smell? It's almost as good as the smell of asphalt!  Hubs thinks I'm nuts when I mention it. LoL!

That is like one of my favorite things about the Flooded Mine!

I do think it is due a major update though.

I would love to see the rockslide return as well as the man in the bottle.   They used to have a moonshine type gallon glass jar with a projection of a small prisoner in the bottle singing the miners tune, goldfish and all. If I am not mistaken it was exiting the  I miss some of the old gags.  It would be great to see the projection faces return as well.
I miss the old days......

I grew up in the era of "no guns" (man in the bottle, rock slide, runaway saw blade), etc.   I was old enough to be nostalgic when they put the guns in. I was right on the cusp of thinking it was cool to embrace new trends, and still a little repulsed. 

I've grown to appreciate the gun era, but also feel that it's time to give the old gal a facelift.

We noticed new heads on the characters, this year.

Do the heads have the same look as the old ones?

[History Buff]

Not exactly.  They look far too clean for the setting, and some may even resemble real people.  The don't bother me, but they are a little paper-machete-like for me.

We can not be pleased!

It would be better if the faces were less static and more realistic.  Even putting some projected faces on blank heads would be great - with voices that can be heard.

The reason they moved away from the projectors that put faces on some of the dummies is because the humidity always caused the electronics to break down. I remember maintenance guys constantly repairing projectors, replacing tapes, and so on...of course, computers would not fare well in the environment, either, they would need to place computers in a heated/air conditioned space. No matter what electronic technology used, the humidity creates havoc! Ha!

I remember all of that, but with today's tech, it shouldn't be a prob.

I'm glad to hear they're putting work into the attraction. Sometimes we need to sit back and know that we'll never completely happy until we jump in there and do it ourselves

On Thursday I noticed how good the dummies in the mine were looking.  I really liked the heads they have in there now.  It makes FitH look even worse now (That ride desperately needs some love and attention).

Get an otterbox for the projector....
