Haunted Mansion Changes - Slowly Unveiling!

Yeah, I just got back from the Park and, well, having all the exit lights out makes me think "malfunction" rather than salvation.

On the othe hand, the hallway of doorways Paul Frees narration looks to be purposefully gone ... perhaps for another 15 years. I don't suspect malfunction on this. These are lines which Disney has removed in the past, and the Ghost Host does come off very chatty in that all too brief creepy section of the ride.

Actually, I noticed on another attraction last week (Monsters? I don't recall now) that the signs were off. Seems someone finally figured out that if you leave them off and tie them into the alarm/electrical-backup system, they can be set to turn on either A) when the alarm sounds or B) when the power fails, the only times they need to be on.

Interesting. I suppose I agree he is a bit chatty, especially when you enter Leota's room and he takes up half of it introducing her.

I would miss "hot and cold running chills" though.

We rode twice last night, the first time, in a pavlovian way, I missed the Paul Frees lines. Once I got over that, I liked it better the second time because I wasn't getting the sensory overload of the narration, which intrudes on the creepy mood set by the haunted door knobs, etc..
