Would anyone possibly know where I could find some of the posters that used to be on display in the hallways of Dispatch Master Transport or any of the signage?
Want to add it to my mancave.
^I want some of those, too! And Dorthy: the DT alien that was hidden in the ride during its lifespan. But, sadly, I'm pretty sure they have been scraped or are now used in HalloWeekends. But I honestly have no clue if anything from it is still out there.

Thanks for the response! I remember finding out about the ride auction too late and hearing they would bid off a sign? I dont know how true that was. A former employee told me some of the old posters and signs were stored in the ballroom somewhere.. when I asked Tony about it, he didn't have a clue LOL
Interesting, there has got to be someone who knows what happened to all of those props in that building. Speaking of which, does anyone know where Dave is? Or how about the other robot? What was his name? Does anyone have any pictures of both robots? And if you do can you please share them?:)

I can't find any from a quick search, but I know that in 2008 Dave was used in the theming of the Coasters Drive-In restaurant for Halloweekends. He was mentioned specifically in the On Point Blog.
I don't remember if he was there multiple years or just 2008, but I would expect he is still in storage somewhere.

I seem to remember seeing Dave somewhere in the 2010 Happy Jack's haunt.
If all the players are ready...at the sound of the bell, ROLL EM!
There were 4 different DT posters of cities auctioned off on Ebay in fall 2012. I almost bidded but the seller could not confirm if they were the posters from opening season or from later on. They looked hand-drawn and were really cartoony.
Here's one of the robots:
Ok, so now the hunt for Dave is on!

There is a very short clip of one of the robot's to Disaster Transport, in this 1995 Get to the Point video tour. Starting at minute 9:51, just after the Blue Streak clip. As far as I know, that might be the only video clip of the Robots.
