One of the highlights of Jacob’s visit was meeting Eric Princz, the longtime animatronic repair technician and creative genius behind many of the attractions. Eric’s work is legendary for keeping the animatronics alive and well across the boardwalk, and there’s even speculation that he’s working on something new,
