Haunted Mansion Changes - Slowly Unveiling! - Page 10

In hindsight, iSm, I must say that I regretted not riding Space Mountain again the night we were there at DLP. Insted of Space, we rode Phantom Manor again. Now that version of Space is gone. So, for the very first time ever, you were right.

Other major differences are the Western Ghosttown where our graveyard would be, the absolutely terrifying moments in their smaller graveyard where the Doombuggies go below the ground to find rotting corpses emerging from coffins, the bride's boudoir in place of our attic (although that change is becoming less pronounced, per the topic of this thread), and the presense of a full symphony orchestra somewhere in the Manor - rather than the pipe organ hidden somewhere in the Mansion.

This is your on-the-spot reporter coming to you, live, from Disneyland's Haunted Mansion. I'm happy to report that the insanely bright EXIT signs in the graveyard have been extinguished! Also, oddly, Paul Frees' narration in the hall of doors and séance room have been cut.
This is gn2dlnd, signing out, from New Orleans Square.

So, is the piano-playing ghost in place again (after they took it out to piss off ISM).

I'm happy to report that not only are the exit signs at the graveyard extinguished, but it appeared to us that ALL exit signs in the ride have been extinguished. No reflection in the ballroom. No sign in the noticably darker* hall of doors, no exit sign near Leota or anywhere in the final room. Nada.

I was far more excited about this than the changes, which, although I thought had some cool effects, I just didn't like the new bride.

* noticably darker to the point that I was completely unable to see the chair across from the knight at the beginning of the ride.

I would ride Phantom Manor over and over and over

Yep, PPG was, once again, not removed.

Is that true about the Frees narration?

Those bits in the Endless Corridor and the Seance Circle played for only a few years after the Mansion opened in 1969, and then were removed for well over a decade - reappearing in the late 1980's. It would be interesting if they were removed again.

It may have just been a glitch. There have been several times over the past few years (ever since they added the Spanish safety spiel) that one or more of the audio sections between the endless corridor and the seance room haven't played for me.
