Well he does have a couple of gigs. I hear he's the guy playing the piano (oops, I mean harpsichord - don't tell MBC) in POTC, too.

I don't dislike the piano effect...I dislike the piano effect in the attic. Total silence except for the beating of the heart was the ultimate in creepy. The piano was just unnecessary.

But it wasn't total silence, it was the bride's beating heart, puctuated by the screams of the jumping heads.

True that...even better that was.

I like the paino player, but the jumping heads scared the bejezus out of me as a kid, and thus are missed in my jadded adulthood.

I never liked the jumping heads. And I did like the piano music. I think I'd like the photographs, but that's just based on the photos.

Would anybody object if they changed the ride to this?

At this point, anything would be an improvement.

Heheh, I am reminded that we have this inexplicably huge pair of scissors at work for everyday cutting jobs that could be done by a pair of small clippers. But this giant pair of hedge-clipper-sized scissors is all there is, and everyone calls them "the Bobbits."

(I guess not a man alive at the time is likely to ever forget that story.)

I know we were in the buggy in front of you, but I doubt the imagineers came in between our two cars, completely removed the effect just to taunt you a second time, and then turned it back on. He's still there dude.

Overall definite thumbs up to the changes! The bride never made any sense before and just reminded me of one of those cheesey moving Santa statues people put out at Christmas time. Nothing in the entire mansion was ever even mildly scary. The story needs to be expanded but this is a nice start. The portrait effects are extremely cool. I didn't see the cross-eyed bride though, it happened so fast perhaps we saw the only decent part of it but we liked it overall. It's no phantom manor of course, but its a step in the right direction...removing all those ridiculous screaming heads on tracks.
