There is no maybe

Do they talk ? I think they should have just made an AA that interacts with the guests.

Has anyone noticed if the park map has been updated yet or what it's current showing for the SS44 site?

Yeah, it is a pretty big deal. Those costumes have super limited visibility, not to mention they cost a redicilous amount of money. The last thing they want is someone getting too close and either getting hit/kicked or worse knocking one of the stilt walkers off balance and having them fall. I have a feeling it would do quite a bit of damage to the costume if one of them were to fall.

Optimus "talks". He has several phrases he says.

So is there a speaker on the Optimus suit? Or does the sound come from speakers in the surrounding area?

Optimus won't be camping this summer....:thumbs:

It is just like the talking Mickey Mouse costume, except his voice is pre-recorded. The voice comes from the costume.

Is the "talking feature" an Orlando only addition? I don't remember them "talking" in LA.

He obviously didn't fancy talking when I saw him in September.

Small update,

That entrance just keeps looking more and more like the Singapore entrance in its style, which could look weird on an industrial building like that.
