I was impressed with the idea of the top part unfolding from a cylinder. Puppetry arts is given credit on this one.

The puppetry arts idea was based on this one (copied and pasted from puppet.org, unfortunately I can't find any photgraphs of it online)

Trashcan Phoenix

As visitors enter the exhibit, a trashcan rises into a nine-foot Phoenix (the symbol of Atlanta) to introduce them to the wonder and power of puppetry as an art form. The Trash Can Phoenix was designed by animatronics artist Michael Curry, who has worked to animate several figures for Walt Disney World, as well as Broadway's Lion King.
