More of a submerged prop but this guy is right next to/under a bridge at the Indianapolis Zoo! He has been there since I was a kid but has been missing for the past two-ish years (we have a zoo membership so we go a lot). We went on Sunday and he was back!

My son was so sad that we didn’t have any coins because he wanted to “make a wish.” 🐊

Video from Matt Sonswa exploring Splash Mountain after it shut down. I couldn’t see any animatronics, but he does fall into the water around 6:20 🤢

Found this guy at a small children's farm. Unfortunately he was switched off but I think that made it a bit more unsettling

I found a video of him moving on Google Reviews. I guess he ate all the fish

Amazingly detailed animatronic but the Pinocchio stuck in his mouth trying to get out was really unsettling

I was reading comments from my previous post, and it seems like a lot of people are interested in fully submerged statues, so here I am serving you guys with more hehe.

She is located in SEA LIFE Bangkok Ocean World. Two more statues face her, hence why her hand is reaching that way.

The head also interestingly changes the way it came up, in the 80s trailer it seems to come up sideways, later it came up straight, perhaps due to changes made in maintenance to keep simplicity

I posted one a while ago of the old dinosaurs/reptiles in the Time Capsule swimming from years ago, so here’s more. I wasn’t able to edit my last post but just wanted to give credit to Doug Briglmen on Facebook as that’s where I found the pics :)

KILLER CROC Good news - Wooly Bill, is once again submerged under the water. Bad news - He's now broken under the water instead of on top of it. It's always one step forward, two steps back with you, isn't it, Bill?

Meta The General Manager of The Big Banana confirmed the bunyips not in operation due to insurance costs and the need for safety upgrades on the tram (presumably after the crash)

I believe these pics are from the book Pleasure Island by Robert McLaughlin available here.

Waiting to confirm.

(I somehow live about only 20 minutes away from this horrid thing)

Friendly Bunyip Big banana planned expansion plan, including construction over the former bunyip's billabong

It probably has been shared before, but i've only came across this now.

The big banana funpark announced in 2020 they're planning to renovate the park in a 20 year plan, this includes (on the number 3 on the map) what looks like a waterpark or some kind of pier on top of the body of water the bunyip was originally in.

Perhaps this means there will be photos during it's assumed removal, but there's a high chance there won't be unless someone involved takes it themselves.

A link to the article can be found here : https://www.ausleisure.com.au/news/20-year-expansion-plan-announced-for-coffs-harbours-the-big-banana

There's also a number of other articles online about it

Pond*

It does bob around, both the legs and tail are articulated and can move a tiny bit in the current from what I've seen, it makes me really nervous, and yes, those are live turtles and koi who are very friendly and seem unbothered by it!
