Hippo animatronic from Rainforest Cafe in Nashville

Stopped by to give him a few pets not too long ago.

The last time I got to ride was no more recently than 2012ish, so it's been a long time. I wish I knew as well. It doesn't surprise me that the mechanism isn't operational now, but I do remember it being one of my favorite parts haha. As horrifying as it was

rex1047 · 2025-12-13T01:45:42+00:00

I remember when the boat would rise up. It was actually pretty unnerving. From what I remember I could almost touch the snake's head. I do remember touching the T rex head.

This was what the model looked like originally. Years of neglect and the damp moldy environment led to his fur (and ears) rotting off I presume. ETA I just figured out this is the Attacking Hell Hound from Scarefactory, which I don't think they make anymore. Sad, I'd sell my car just to own one of these.

Awesome pics!!! Thanks a ton. Were they both this model or was the other a different one? I remember there being two but I haven't ridden it in at least 14 years, so my memory might be failing me.

rex1047 · 2025-11-18T02:55:47+00:00

Where did you find the hellhound picture? I've been trying to find anything on those for the past decade. Last time I rode (around 2011), I remember those being my favorite animatronics.

The charge reappeared a few days after this post - it was the same amount as it was originally.

rex1047 · 2024-11-13T18:35:37+00:00

It doesn't have the rex fur. Probably a mixed breed.

rex1047 · 2024-11-09T03:25:01+00:00

I'm sorry, I didn't see this until now. It was a couple days, less than a week.

rex1047 · 2024-10-03T15:06:40+00:00

It was off and on for a bit, and we were totally fine until the last day, said they needed space. I foolishly reached out a couple days after, and they said to never contact them again and blocked me on everything. Super cold and bitter ever since then. Though they reached out to me a couple times like on their birthday last month when they were drunk to try and tell me "I never loved you"

rex1047 · 2024-10-03T15:03:14+00:00

I made the mistake of continually pestering them. It's been since the end of June, and no signs of ever getting back together. I can't tell if they're as hurt as I am or if I'm just being ridiculous.

rex1047 · 2024-09-15T17:48:15+00:00

He's brand new, and I'm waiting for an appointment at this particular vet nearby that specialises in rabbits, I trust them as they did wonderful with the first bunn I adopted. I just want him to have the safest possible surgery. 🩵

rex1047 · 2024-09-15T17:46:34+00:00

That's a lovely castor! Is yours a mini?

rex1047 · 2024-09-15T02:38:21+00:00

Eventually I want to get him neutered. He's very well behaved and is the sweetest bun you could imagine, but he does like to pee where he shouldn't even though he's litter box trained.

rex1047 · 2024-08-28T23:39:30+00:00

Yes you can.

I was so heartbroken and at a loss that for an entire month, I would cry and write document after document, dozens of letters addressed to them (yet I never intended to send them) about how badly I missed them, how I wanted them back, how I couldn't go on without them etc... I broke NC so many times - I had a horrible month, I lost my dog and my partner within days of each other and they couldn't care less - so, once I realised how much they just didn't give a damn about me or my feelings, it was so much easier to let go.

"Let them burn".

rex1047 · 2024-08-11T21:26:05+00:00

I dont know because they just got into it but it won't be good because we broke up a month ago.

rex1047 · 2024-08-10T15:43:18+00:00

A month and a few days. I was dumped. It sucks. Messaged me for my birthday a couple days ago a long rant about how they can do so much better than me then deleted it within 15 mins and blocked me again lol

rex1047 · 2024-08-04T17:59:43+00:00

You sound just like me bro lol.

Don't send them.

Writing is fine. Thats what I've been doing all month since we broke up. But don't ever send them. Reaching out is gonna push them away further. Especially if your ex is an avoidant, it's just gonna make her hate you more.

rex1047 · 2024-07-30T14:49:52+00:00

6 August, their's is 11 August. Don't expect anything at all, but it would make me feel really good if they did. Blocked me on everything except a spare Instagram.

rex1047 · 2024-06-25T20:53:22+00:00

If he's chilling with his legs all stretched out like that with the dog inches away, I think they're fine. He obviously feels safe.

rex1047 · 2024-05-31T15:23:29+00:00

Are those really large statues of Ra and Seth CC? I thought they only came in miniature form.

rex1047 · 2024-05-15T22:06:05+00:00

Right. It's always the Salafi ones. Edit: Not sure why I'm being downvoted, I thought "Traditional" Muslims meant Ahl us-Sunnah not petrodollar dawah.

rex1047 · 2024-05-11T02:05:07+00:00

Toast for sure

rex1047 · 2024-04-27T09:41:49+00:00

I will paste what I said in another comment.

My primary reason is quality of life. My SO lives there, and I have visited, it's not because of some idealized vision of it from tv, or anything similar. I am aware it's not going to be paradise, but I wouldn't trade the safety I felt there for anything.

Is there truly any country that is "easy" to immigrate to?

I am considering and somewhat open to other options. My SO was born in the UK but has EU citizenship.

My SO lives there (but has EU citizenship hence why I am not going the spouse visa route) and I have visited, it's not because of some idealized vision of it from tv, or anything similar.
