I pray its temporary because I certainly know management would certainly be tempted for it not to be.

Or just put him up on the other screen...

They should probably have raised up the TV screen so everyone could see.

I would think the cameos would be more interesting for the guests to see than pre-recorded Scooter

Scooter being a monitor luckily only diminishes the show for the first row of people! The monitors for cameos and scooter B mode should be switched. That thing is small for the space it plays in.

Looks like its always right behind the animatronic.

Well we all figured as much. Oh well. It's serviceable at least though not a particularly creative b-mode.

Mr. Sullivan19 hours ago

Is the screen always there or is it wheeled in for this. I didn’t notice when I rode the other day (Scooter’s AA was working though so possibly just wasn’t seeing it for that).

Better than the below, I guess…?!!! 🤷‍♂️;)

Just a screen, no strobe light? :cool:

First look at B Mode Scooter

His hat is actually fused to his head

Speaking as a theatre performer: you would be astounded by what can be achieved with bobby pins.

How did he manage to keep his hat on for the entire ride?
