We got a couple of new things to share with you about the Haunted Mansion today.
First off Disney found our sneaky photo hole and closed it off. But that's OK. Tuesday (3/8/11) crews were at it all day working on the new queue area. They were at it at night too as you can see here they had some big lights on. The workers had the lights on under the new walkway and they are different from the current lights. These new ones have a good candle flicker to them.
As night fell some interesting sounds were coming from behind those temporary walls. First off every minute or two we would hear a "woah...woah...A CHOO." Yep a big sneeze. Its seems that one of the new interactive elements will be making that noise. The second noise we could hear was of a deep voice making bubbling noises like he was taking a bath or he was drunk. Then the voice starts to sing the song "drunken sailor" This noise obviously belongs to the Sea Captain mausoleum.
If you don't know the song we are talking about here is a version of it.
Also there was more changes in the Hitchhiking Ghosts area. Today the temporary screens were lowered very low and you could really see the track they are held on. But the big thing was you could see the top of the mirrors and in the round parts of the top it seems like there are big holes or cameras or sensors there. This could be related to the rumored new on ride photo system on the ride. It was noticeable if you were looking for changes, Marissa noticed it first. We will say that it defiantly there and we were not just seeing things.
In this photo Alexx used his amazing photoshop abilities to show you bother were the mysterious holes/cameras/sensors are and how low the temporary screens are.

The big White line is where the screen has been lowered to and the Yellow dots are where the new changes are.
We took a video of this, We will warn you that once the video was uploaded to youtube the quality was cut and the changes are extremely hard to see. To be honest you might not be able to see them at all.
Our last thing to report. We talked to one Haunted Mansion Cast member and he said that they were told that they were hustling along to open the the new queue area and that it could be opened by next week at the earliest.. Take this however you will, sometimes some cast members are right about things but sometimes they don't know a thing and just try and please guests with answers. So if this guy was right we might get to see the new queue area soon, but time will tell for now.
That's all the news we got about the Haunted Mansion today.
