Will Gringotts be called something like "Gringitts bank 3D" as in will the 3D be in the title?
It seems like something Rowling wouldn't want....
Now, now... Do we know for sure Gringotts won't be chock full of AAs? :inquisitive: I know it's a 3D ride, but who's to say we won't have AAs in the mix?
Walks into room, reads thread, looks confused, glances down at own foot, shuffles toe making circles in the sand and says very quietly.... erm... what's an "AA"?:look::look:

Audio Animatronic, an old term from the 1950's that doesn't really apply to themed robotics any more.
AA literally means Audio Animatronics. But in general the term is used for anything similar.
that's a really good point. they are both good at their own things, but wouldn't it be interesting to see universal attempt a AA heavy attraction now? I wonder how it would compare to Disney?
Well just look at their most "advanced animatronic" Imhotep in The Mummy... FAIL. But I have heard from two cast members who have seen footage of the new Gringotts Goblin animatronics, they weren't told what they were looking at and they both agreed that they thought they were watching footage of actors during make-up prep... which means they looked real, lol.
I'm sorry but how is Imhotep a fail? The thing comes out of a coffin and gesticulates perfectly. What more could you want?
Thanks you kindly. :thumbs::thumbs:
And, to clarify, we still use AA to describe any robot that performs on a queue, i.e. talking, growling, gesturing, even though they are not controlled by audio signals and timecode. Otherwise, small world mechanical figures are only that, figures that do the same thing over and over again throughout the day, hitting no exact queue.
Ok cool. Thanks. So pretty much anything 'animatronic' then. I should have known, or at least figured it out myself.:thumbs:
Anything that hit's an exact and predetermined queue (or is it cue in this instance... I think maybe it is cue)...
I believe it's "cue" could always use "mark" instead.
I dont feel like there would be AA's of either of them. Just seems weird to think about
Well from what we have been hearing they both will probably be in the ride. But we just don't know how they will be presented.
