    Haunted Mansion Holiday/ Nightmare Before Christmas Ride

    WDW is in NEED of some kind of Nightmare Before Christmas attraction/show
    so here are my ideas

    HAUNTED MANSION HOLIDAY!!!. It would be great to se Jack Skellington and his crew take over the Mansion at MK. Plus they can add new scenes where the Library and Piano are. And maybe some other Nightmare Before Christmas theming around Liberty Square.

    At Hollywood Studios, why not build a Nightmare dark ride (full time) where the old Hunchback of Noter Dame show was. It could have a trackless ride system like pooh's Hunny Hunt.

    Tokyo has a nearly exact clone of WDW's HM and they do have HMH thus there wouldn't really be new scenes in those rooms

    I mean they COULD do new scenes but most likly it would just be a copy of their overlay for the states which would be good but I don't see it happening since the Country Bears don't even overlay anymore


    Studios could definitely see more rides but I think that's what they're working on right now

      I heard that MK management turned it down so that's why it went Tokyo instead.

        I heard Jay Rasulo is the one who nixed the idea - in favor of the HM's refurb, which was more important imho.

          I think DL's HMH overlay is fun (though I am very glad it's not up all the time), but I know it makes some people unhappy, one because they don't like The Nightmare Before Christmas and two because of the time the ride is down while they put the overlay in.

            My biggest beef with HMH is that the movie is way more of a Christmas movie than Halloween movie and at DL HMH takes over before Halloween. The most popular night of the year for the original HM is Halloween! If they want to put in HMH they should start the conversion Nov. 1 and not a day before.

              The entire idea is two holidays colliding.

                Some people go in October and don't know about it and it's their first trip to Disneyland in 30 years, and they're totally bummed the Haunted Mansion's not the way the remembered it when it was their favorite ride 30 years ago.

                You have more people like that going to WDW than the mix of people at Disneyland on an October-December day.

                  I hope Haunted Mansion Holiday never comes to Florida; however, I am all in favor of a Nightmare Before Christmas attraction at the Studios. The themeing would fit perfectly, and that park is in dire need of new attractions.

                    HMH was supposed to be here about 5 years ago, but it never happened.

                    I would love to see us get the overlay, I really do enjoy it at Disneyland.

                      I'm a big Nightmare Before Christmas fan (I watch it every Halloween), so I'd love to see either the Haunted Mansion overlay or a full-on darkride.

                        something I dont understand here, and hopefully something that can be explained
                        why is Haunted Mansion Holiday so impressive to everyone? its a great idea and fun once or twice but it isnt that special. Its not a unique enough idea to keep taking over the Haunted Mansion every year. I would have thought that for a movie as good as Nightmare Before Christmas, that something more than just glowpaint and plywood could've been thought up. I was totally dissapointed by the ride myself. Maybe I'm too much of a HM pureist, but I would think that if an idea is good enough to bury HM for 4 or 5 months of the year then maybe it does deserve something of its own. Maybe its own standalone dark ride during the holiday season.

                          Well, the reason why most people don't have a problem is because it's not there all of the time. I say let it come to the park once a year, and look forward to it, plus less you forget, it also gives time to refurb the regular attraction when it's being set back up, which wouldn't be a concern if they did that regularly. The only people who HATE it are the ones who don't like change, simple as that.

                            And the ones who don't get to experience the original attraction at all because of the overlay or because of it being closed to put up/take down the decorations.

                                I'd rather not have the HMH overlay. The overlay is up for too long in DL and you have to factor in several weeks of down time to install the overlay and several weeks more to remove it. It's not even really an overlay - it's an entirely different attraction.

                                    I like the Haunted Mansion Holiday and I'd love to have it here if it didn't require such significant downtime to both put it up and take it down. I hate to see the mansion closed for 2 months out of the year.

                                    That said, I would love to see a Nightmare Before Christmas dark ride in the studios. There's a website somewhere that shows some concept art that was once considered for a nightmare ride there. I'd love to see it dusted off again.

                                    After a bit of searching I've found it. Its from Alain's blog I believe. Read here for the nightmare ride that never was. Maybe it can become again, I've heard a rumor on another board that its being considered for the studios around 2012.

                                    All of you who are fans of the "Nightmare Before Christmas" movie are going to love this unrealized concept by Christopher Merritt. He is ...
