Eric Swapp, Principal Show Programmer for Walt Disney Imagineering, is "watched" closely by an Audio-Animatronics figure of Mr. Potato Head as he makes adjustments to the figure April 4, 2008 at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. The five-foot-tall figure of the famous Hasbro toy, which features the voice of Don Rickles, portrays a "carnival barker" in the soon-to-open "Toy Story Mania!" attraction at the Walt Disney World theme park. "Toy Story Mania!" is an interactive ride-through attraction that combines elements of a video game, "4-D" technology and interaction with stars from the Disney-Pixar film "Toy Story."
