Isn't that Kevin costume awesome?

@birdsandbats Very much so. We came across her probably 10 or so times in my 2 visits and felt the need to join her paparazzi each time.

There are few things in life I hate more than this ride.

What is Kevin??

@TinoPup The giant bird on the bridge; it's from the Pixar film Up. I don't think she was based on a specific kind of bird.

@Coelacanth18 I've had people ask me if my Kevin's name came from Up, always assumed it was a more typical character The other one I get asked is from Minions. I should probably watch those movies.

@TinoPup Despicable Me (but only the first one!) and Up are both great movies. Up is one of my favorite movies of all time, actually. I highly recommend both.

@Coelacanth18 I recall hearing Kevin was (loosely) based on a Hoatzin.

@birdsandbats I feel like there's also some Himalayan monal inspiration in there
