Judging from the outfit, i think that's actually one of the female drivers.

I actually love that there are animatronic drivers. I would expect this of Disney in the 80's but definitely not Universal 2016.

The driver looks like a stiff figure, something you would see in a creepy Scooby-Doo episode. I love it.

Yeah, it adds to the epicness of the ride. I love it. I really want to see it in person. It's what the control room in space mountain should be at the top of the lift. They've out Disneyed Disney here.

There also appears to be somebody in the passenger seat beside the driver. 2 AAs up front?

Edit: scratch that. I didn't realise it was 2 photos side by side :bonk:

Eesh that driver looks eerie. Hope the uncanny valley effect isn't that bad while on the ride.

I think there will be to much else going on that the appearance of the driver in the vehicle won't detract too much. That if it even looks a bit odd which I doubt.

I'm gonna need to see the driver in person to judge. Right now... I am a bit worried that it will be creepy.

I think we can expect the windows to be fogged up a bit so you can't that good of a look at the AA driving the truck. And besides, only the first few rows will be able to get a good glimpse at whoever is driving.

I'm guessing The Kong Watch should start to begin next week. Let's get ready.

The AA figure might only be the focal point probably during certain indoor parts and I imagine might "disappear" part of the way through the ride. Hell, I don't know if it'll be readily visible during load/unload. The figure is mostly there for those outside.

Thank god you won't be seeing it's face while riding. I expect it to be an ET like figure, just sinks in at a moment and doesn't come back

Ok guys, this is an example of an echo chamber. I posted this to the Parkscope account based on @The_Bled info. Don't not think this is independent confirmation.
