I first noted him when they had removed him from end of ride. they had a lot of the figures gone for cleaning. and I thought it was funny in the one HUGE ( boat hat man room) that day there was only 3 figures in all the room no pig man/ dirty foot man others. only boat hat guy. lamp post guy / guy on the barrells

I love it!
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo ^^^ I hear you. Give me AA laden extravaganzas, with an omnimover to carry you through the adventure (or boat). These are the ultimate Disney experiences. Anyone can produce a roller coaster, only Disney can create Omnimover classics. Or so that used to be the case!
