I guess I'm lucky. I'll get to ride it again before they tinker with it. Any hints as to what the changes are gonna be? _________________ No one understands my obsession but you guys. Sending lots and lots of pixie dust

I think they should dust. Have you seen those chandoliers? They are nasty. Some fresh paint and paper would be nice too, and maybe get rid of some of that junk in the attic.
The only thing I could suggest, (and I know the Imagineers are listening to me) is to get rid of those cheesy carnival spiders and put in something else. Maybe Capt. Jack. They seem to be sticking him everywhere they can now.
We'll be there in October to see the refurb. _________________ [ |

Yeah, the spiders are the only thing I could think of too. Then again, I'm not an imagineer. Ha ha _________________ No one understands my obsession but you guys. Sending lots and lots of pixie dust

Let's just make a list and send it to Disney before they start. We wouldn't want them to forget anything.
Might be a good topic for some Friday night chat. _________________ [ |

I've heard they are going to add the floating Leota head and the bride effects from DL. I have also heard that the spiders are on their way oiut and a new scene is destined for this area. Also rumors are that a shop will some how be added to the end of the ride. These of course are just rumors. _________________ Jason

Do we really need another attraction ending in a store? ? ? I hope they don't. i like the fact that you are exiting past the mausoleum. |

Agreed on the shop thing.
Since I'm not going in the summer due to the heat I'll see it again in the fall. _________________ Excellence is what matters. |

Maybe that is meant to be the REAL haunting thing. they won't really scare you on the ride... they'll save it to the exit... |

Well I hope they fix this ride.
Everytime I ride it a Ghost gets in my Doombuggy and follows
me home.
Look foward to seeing what changes and or modifacations they make. |

That is one thing that bothered me.... 999 happy haunts, then why are they trying to leave with you all the time... And assuming a VERY conservative 5 doombuggies exiting per minute... A little under 3+ hours the place would be a ghost town, or rather a ghostless ghost town...
Maybe that is who Madam Leota is telling to "Hurry back" She needs them to return so they don't run out of ghosts... And here I thought she was talking to us guests. |

Actually, there is a rumor about them adding a in-ride photo/photopass of you and your hitchhiking ghosts.... that would be pretty cool! _________________ Up or Down North, South, East, or West An Adventurer's Life is Best! |
