They should have also spliced in Tom Hanks and the old dude from 'Big' to play on the giant keyboard!

What possible reason is there to rearrange the order? It's also ironic to take away the cigarette in a place that offers as much smoke as Vegas.

That is a mess.Even for a fake museum like Madame Tussauds it's bad.

Actually Chuck, Lennon in his white suit is the preacher & Ringo in his dark suit is the undertaker.

But it's still hard to believe that they fucked that up so bad...

I could have respected this if it was the Destroyer cover. Can't wait to see what they do with the white album.

Did they not have an original copy of the picture? How could they screw this up and will they fix it since the staff is going to be asked about it every time someone who knows better passes by the wax figures?

Maybe they did it to skirt trademark/copyright issues or to avoid a huge licensing fee, or something of that nature?

Hard to believe that an MT art director would deliberately mess up such an iconic image solely for creative reasons.

I remember the expert on Paul's death who appeared on the Mike Douglas Show claimed something like (it was 40+ years ago) the British buried people barefoot for some reason.

Am I the only one who gets really creeped out by wax figures? I want nothing to do with the museum and when they put one of those wax figures in the lobby to advertise the museum I stay as far away as possible.

Here's my thought. When people talk about the Beatles these days they list the members as 'John, Paul, George, and Ringo'. Since the Beatles are old most people under 35 or so don't really know what they looked like so they put them in that order to more easily pick them out.

The flip-flops are pretty inexcusable though...

The "28IF" thing is what always gets me. Abbey Road was released on 26 September 1969. McCartney was born on 18 June 1942.

Math is hard!

Rumor also has it they used an old carousel horse from Circus Circus to build the Molly Hatchet album replica, then fired a shot across the bow of their neighbor by using a wax replica of Steve Wynn to replace Eddie in the Iron Maiden section. Criminal.

It appears that the mistakes are intentional, as apparently as part of this new exhibit, visitors are supposed to pick out all of the mistakes.
