'Robot Lincoln' To Return To Disneyland
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) ―
Abraham Lincoln will be making a return to Disneyland -- at least the animatronic version of the 16th president.
Park officials say the famed robot statesman will be part of an attraction called "The Disneyland Story, featuring Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln," sometime later this year. The figure had made appearances at the theme park in various forms from 1966 through 2004.
The attraction will reopen in celebration of the 200th anniversary year of Lincoln's birthday. The original show was created by Walt Disney and his staff for the State of Illinois Pavilion at the 1964 New York World's Fair and featured the first fully animated, human audio-animatronics figure.
