@bobbluh2650 9 лет назад

Is it just me, or the video from far left have Billy Bob's 'heavy eyebrows' mask, and from center he has his normal mask?

@bobbluh2650 9 лет назад

***** I noticed that too. Mitzi's mask changes too, and Fatz' jaw mobility changes also.

@Thomasandthetankrailway1993 5 месяцев назад

I know this answer is 9 years late, but here you go. In the footage from the left, Billy bob has the “heavy eyebrows/90s version of his mask, and it was changed out afterwards in favor of his usual mask. (As shown in the footage from the right). And this was done because the “heavy eyebrows/90s” Billy bob mask was sculpted with a defect, as the mouth was very shallow, and the mask tore very quickly, hence, its replacement.

Never understood why this show was at Tweetsie first time I saw this video. #12 and these guys have 1 thing in common: they're vintage. Although #12 is older. Wonder if they still have the animatronics. It could be easily repurposed as props for the Ghost Train?

Mitzi's mask is getting pulled down every time her mouth opens...

@bobbluh2650 9 лет назад

Yeah. I think over time her mask hardened and the snaps on the sides of her mask that attach it to the fiberglass skull tore off, thus giving the mask no support, save for the fur thats glued on holding it there and where its attatched to her mouth clevis.
