Haunted Mansion Reports!

[Dustysage]

First reports of the changes to the Haunted Mansion have started to creep in.

If you don't want to know, don't read any further. To read the spoiler text below, simply highlight the darkened section and it will reveal its ghostly image:

Spoiler

The Master Gracey portrait has replaced the April/December portrait in the hallway.

All the portraits now "Flash" to their next phase with the lightning from the windows rather than the slow blend that they used to do. Between phases you will briefly see their ghostly form.

The suit of armor is moving again, but is not animatronic. Just some light tilting.

Leota floats a few inches above the table in a circle. The effect is very good and her image is clear.

It has been mentioned that the Bride now appears to have a pink glow (but this may not be new).

There may be other changes as well. Add your observations here.

Sounds interesting, but I want to see it for myself before I decide whether I like the changes or not. Thanks though for the info.

Thank you for the update Dusty! Now I can tell the kids what the changes are so they are not startled by them. Especially the portraits and the suit of armor.

I'm off to see it in a bit. I think I'm most excited about the suit of armor.

Thanks for the update Dusty! I'm so excited to see Leota in action! It's been over two years since I've been on the classic HM lately we've been going during HMH. Maybe this will inspire a sooner trip

Oh man! I cannot wait! It sounds very cool...

Thanks for the update!

[Mousekiteer]

GASP! They got rid of our beloved April/December? I'm a little disappointed in that. At least the other effects sound good... thanks for the spoil!

Don't forget the Disney Auction $35,000 Tombstone, it has been installed...

Big Thumbs up on the Leota effect!!!! Though I am not impressed by the paintings (I preferred the old version...)

[TechServicesDLR]

ACTUALY-- The suit of armor IS animatronic... if you listen very quietly you can hear the pnumatic discharge after it moves. It's just been re-installed from the Disney Gallery and all hooked up to the show system.
