PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a toy changing its action according to its position inside a theme park. SOLUTION: A small, stuffed toy animal (16) is wound around and held on the wrist of the user (14) via a long armed hook and a Hook-and-Loop fastener. When the user (14) wishes to start to drive the toy (16), he places the mouth of the toy (16) near the ear. A sensor (50) thereof detects the action, triggering one from among many audio amusement messages stored in the toy (16) and generating a sense of whispering of the toy (16) in the ear. The toy (16) has a receiver (30) able to detect existence of a nearby position transmitter (12), thereby is able to select an audio message matching with the present position and informs the user (14) that an interesting message waits for the user (14) rather than the user (14) waits for random discovery of a position-driven message.
