i wudnt add the 1000th ghost because thats the whole slogan!
but some of the special effects should be updated. like the cemetary scene where the ghosts pop out of their cascets and stuff.
even though the bride doesnt look very real, it still gives me the shivers every time. im not entirely sure why.

I would remove the giant spiders - besides the fact that I hate spiders, they are just tacky and don't seem to belong. I would also remove the pop-up, screaming ghosts in the cemetary - they aren't scary so much as they are annoying and again, I think they are tacky. I haven't seen the bride scene changes they made in DL but I heard they are great - I think I'd update that as well. The only other changes I would make would be to fix anything that is broken or worn out.

I would probably up date the animatrons but other than that I think that the ghosts are still realistic. I love this ride and it holds a special place in my heart. My boyfriend and I had our first disney kiss on it![Secret](images/smilies/secret.gif) ![Blush](images/smilies/blush.gif)

On top of some random special effects updates around the ride, I would update the graveyard. get rid of the pop up heads and update the rest of the effects in the graveyard.

Amen! I would lose the spiders so fast it would make your doombuggy spin! Also, we're been to DL twice and IMHO the attic there is SO MUCH cooler and in theme than the one at WDW. Lastly, I would make sure the glass between the Doombuggies and the dining room scene stayed clean and that the sound in the DBs was as great as possible.

Updates
I totally agree that the sound system should be updated, it sounds a little rough a lot of the time. I'm also with those of you who would change and update the graveyard. The popping skeletons, etc. are very old school and the spiders look too carnivalish. I think it would be cool if they would add the 1000th ghost as YOU! Some kind of imagery that would make you appear to be a ghost in the final scene, right after the hitchhikers of course!
That's not funny! And I know funny! I'm a clown fish!

i would like to see changes in temp as you near ghosts the temp gos down and maybe a ghostly touch on your shoulder ect.. would like the effects to be as close as possible

I was in Disneyland last week and after riding the HM out there I came to the sad realization that my favorite attraction in WDW has fallen way behind her sisters in Paris and Anaheim. (I haven't been to Tokyo Disneyland yet, but I would bet that it is better as well.)
The problems:
Failing audio - Should have been fixed long ago. It seems every time I ride I'm in a car with a speaker that cuts in and out or is too loud.
Giant spiders - Look like they are from a cheap state fair spook house.
Seance room - I don't know which is worse, Leota's styrofoam head and cheap wig or the instruments hanging from visible strings.
Attic - The plastic bride with blinging lights is just sad. And the pneumatic pop-up ghosts are more annoying than scary.
The solutions:
Fix the audio. It shouldn't be that hard.
Get rid of the giant spiders.
Bring the floating Leota from Disneyland and hide the strings better.
Bring the entire attic from Disneyland. The bride and portrait effects are brilliant.
WDW just needs to bite the bullet and close the HM for however long it takes to bring this once proud attraction the magic it so badly needs.

When is the exact date that they will reopen?
I hope they add a gift shop.
Everybody's got a laughing place!

Sept. 12 I believe is the date HM is suppose to reopen on. Can't wait to see what changes if any were made to the ride. And hopefully another MK attraction will be closed for refurb within the near future. Rumour has it it's suppose to be closed for at least 9 months. but it hasn't happened yet. the last refurb it had was back in the 80's.

Well it's down until the 12 of Sept, anyway right?
You and My Mom aka PirateGal have the same B-day will you be at MK that day to enjoy the ride?

Yeah, that's the way I read it...
Cool about your mom. We 13th people have to stick together![Thumbs Up](images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
Nope. I won't be there. Unfortunately "real life" keeps getting in the way I've serously considered moving closer

I too feel the popping heads need to go. It does feel like a carnival ride. But I'm wondering if they added Johnnie to POTC, are they going to add Eddie to HM??

Don't worry, folks. Eddie's never coming to the Mansion. The movie didn't do very well anyway.

A. the movie didn't do good,B. they didn't make books about eddie, while they did for jack. Also i have heard rumors of doing a Nightmare before Christmas thing for hm. has anyone heard of this before or is this just false info.
You may leave the magic, but your heart will always be there (psst. I'm bored) (P.S. probably will be until I return to my true home {DISNEY})

Over in Disneyland, they do a great overlay of Haunted Mansion for Christmas that makes it "Nightmare Before Christmas" themed. I only saw it once, but I loved it!
I do not know if there is an intention to start doing that over here as well or not.
