Favorite Animatronic(s)

Title! What are your favorite animatronic(s) in the parks?

For me, my current #1 favorite is levitating Drac in Unchained, it's an incredible effect and the delivery of "Do you fear the dark my friends?" is done perfectly.

Others that I can think of are escaping Drac and the first Wolfman (and really all the Unchained animatronics), the dementors in FJ, all the ballroom ghosts of Haunted Mansion, and... sadly as I type this out is when I realize a lot of my favorite animatronics from childhood at Disney are gone.

Currently, Skull Island's Kong, the Forbidden Journey dementors, and Hondo in the Smuggler's Run pre-show are top contenders. And as simple as they are, I've always loved the subtle movements given to all the presidents in Hall of Presidents. Ursula in Little Mermaid is a pretty underrated one, too.

All-time, Kongfrontation's final Kong, the Xenomorph(s) and the Wicked Witch from The Great Movie Ride, and the "chasing" Carnotaurus from Dinosaur are very high on my list. Also the Pirates Auctioneer... before Disney destroyed the scene.

And, of course, the Expedition Everest Yeti when he worked, which I was lucky enough to experience once before he was turned off.
