The Texas Adventure is a historical re-creation of the Alamo, set in San Antoinio, Texas.  The show begins with two animatronic characters, Captain Juan Seguin and Colonel Travis.  The Colonel is handing Seguin the infamous letter asking for support troops.  The fort is then attacked and once again the audience is in the middle of a battle scene with cannons blasting and the sound of bullets flying overhead.  The stage is engulfed in "smoke" and the animatronic characters disappear only to be replaced by the full-sized, holographic ghosts of colonel Travis, Davy Crockett and James Bowie.  As these ghosts discuss the day after the battle they interact with special effect including Mr. Bowing hurling his kife across teh stage and having it impale a wodden barrel.

Technical specifications: Operating system is Syncon3 controlling two animatronic characters each having 12 motions, 8 separate special effects including a firing cannon and pepper's ghost. Thy system utilizes a 2.5 megabaud modem to continually check and recheck system status. This serves as an on-board diagnostic system and functions through a single coaxial cable.

The Cook Nuclear Visitors Center, no longer in use, used this robotic broadcast to tell visitors about the use of energy in the year 2000. Jared and Velva are the news anchors developed by Mannetron for the Cook Nuclear Power Plant in Bridgeman, Michigan.  (No longer in use as the theme was The Future, Year 2000), this was a fully contained theatre used to educate visitors on the safety and various uses of nuclear power.

The system was fully narrated by the androids while going "live" to several different news reporters on location.  These field reporters interviewed the public currently using different forms of energy while Jared and Velva Looked on from the news desk.  The show was completely synchronized which involved video footage and "live" dialogue from the on-location reporters while interacting with the anchors in the newsroom.
 

Technical specifications: The most technical requirement of this show was to synchronize the animatronic news anchors to the prerecorded video footage of them which was being shown on the large monitors simultaneously as they gave the report. Every movement and the anchors made on the pre-recorded video had to be duplicated without error in order to preserve the integrity of the show. The result was outstanding as it appeared that the video monitor was displaying the news anchors report in real-time.  The entire show was stored on laser discs and the Mannetron show control system, Syncon4.
