The Haunted Mansion is OPEN!!!

The Haunted Mansion is not ready for prime time.

Saturday, 3/11, there were 30 doombuggies (out of 131) wth no audio. They were closed for over 2 months, but didn't bother to put back their signature spider-web "50" out front. The precursors of the new seance room effects are in (backgrounds for the eventual ghostly faces), and the results are light levels that clearly reveal the wires guiding Leota's crystal ball flight. Bah.

Other than these defects, you'd never know that a big refurb took place. There are no new elements or effects, and the Mansion looks, well, clean I suppose.

If this is now the standard timetable of putting up and taking down the Holiday version, please note that classic Haunted Mansion is up and running only six months out of the year.

I rode three times yesterday without noticing any audio problems (save for the lack of "Here Comes the Bride" in the attic), but it would appear that the bright EXIT lights-o'-doom are back again, at least at the very end of the graveyard.
