Article Abstract:

Animatronics have now become highly technically advanced, and this may make them too expensive for many leisure industry operators. It is also important that leisure operators are aware of hidden costs associated with animatronics, especially long-term maintenance. There is now a very wide range available, and it can be hard for the potential purchaser to choose the right animatronic for a specific applications. In the longer term, animatronics may become replaced by anthropomorphic robotic figures.
