Creegans and Animatronics?

[PatriciaH]

Ok. I am watching John Ratzenburgers (sp?) Made in America on the Travel Channel and he was at this family owned place called Creegans in Stubanville, Ohio. They make these cheap, scary looking "animated puppets" and they said they did work for Sea World and Disney World. I have never heard of Disney using any outside company to do animatronics. Anyone??

I found the Web site for the Creegan Company at http://www.creegans.com/

I have no idea what this particular company has done for Disney, but I do know that Disney Imagineering turns to outside vendors all the time. Disney Imagineering even outsources creative work.

Thanks Horace. I did not know that! I did read "Roller Coasters, Flumes and Flying Saucers" about Arrow so I should have realized that.
