Hi there,

Whilst on the riverboat the Liberty Belle today, I took these pics of some sort of constructions at the Haunted Mansion. Is this a new crypt?


lol:scared1:
Any ideas

I thought I had heard something about the tombstones moving more or something like that, like the one that eyes open and close. I may be wrong.

Thanks for the pics, I wondered what all was going on back there.
 
From what I've read they are adding onto the que and also (possibly) making part of it interactive a la Pooh.
 
This would be great to add some new things to the HM ! Well I mean after you have been on a ride so many times it gets boring .
 

We're going the end of Jan, is it closed for refurb?

Thanks,
Karen

The attraction itself is open, this part of the que you won't even really see from the existing que.
 
It has been blocked off for quite some time, I wonder if that land took a long time to clear out.:confused3
 
There was info about that construction a couple of months ago. They are enlarging and changing the queue, including allowing mainstreaming for disabled guests. Presently disabled guests have to enter through the exit.
 
ThAt would be great. When we went in Oct we missed the whole queue area because of the wheelchair.
 
That's crazy! I had no idea they were doing so much. I had heard they were changing the que, but I thought it would be just a few changes to the tombstones, not actual construction. Too cool!

Good to hear about the queue enlargement. Even when it gets to 30 minutes, the queue sticks out into the square like a sore thumb.
 
My question is - will they please get rid of the revolving turnstile!! Please!! I hate that thing, and being short and Pooh sized, it kills me trying to maneuver that turnstile. Oh please say it will be retired!

They are re-doing the queue much like they did for Space and Pooh (and Soarin' in EP) to be interactive.

no, it's not closed. They have the sides of the queue tunnel sealed off so you don't see the tombstones, but other than that, it's operating as usual, at least as of a month ago.

thx for posting. We wondered what was going on...

I wonder why they are bother with that, for a ride that has a wait less than 20 minutes most of the year I don't see that being a good investment of funds.
 
I would be happy if each guest was issued a stick so that if you were stuck in a car next to some kid texting during the entire freaking ride, you could just give him/her a quick *thwack*.

Even on a moderate day last month, it looked like this. It takes away from the decorative entrance to the mansion and juts out towards Columbia Harbor House. The cost for expanding the queue like this is probably marginal compared to some of their other projects.
