"It's a mouthful," Crean jokes, "and it's something to behold. Back on the tour, Crean leads us into a sort of robot storage room. The most impressive thing here is an 8-foot-tall Terminator wielding a Gading gun. Crean powers it up, and it starts to move fluidly and speak in a faux Arnold Schwarzenegger voice: "I am a T-70 cyborg," it barks. "I've been teleported here from Universal Studios, where I'...
