Firsthand report from a Disboards member who was ON Haunted Mansion when it malfunctioned. Definitely worth a read!

My assumption is there's track damage with a closure this long. Hopefully it won't be too much longer.

I agree, but that may not be a quick fix. Depends what they have on hand, what they have to order, and (given the world right now) where they have to order it from. I wouldn't be surprised if they announce a HM refurb starting immediately in the next few days.

I would be so happy if they did this my kids too. Hopefully after next week or they don't take out stitch because I specifically booked there my current trip since my daughter's best friend is a huge stitch fan. But they need more Moana everywhere lol

If it wasnt the Haunted Mansion -- you would probably just see the attraction go SEASONAL while they take their time to fix it .. LOL

Maybe they could take the time to fix the lighting in the graveyard. I know it’s supposed to be a spooky night scene but the last few times I’ve ridden I could barely make out any of the animatronics or gravestones.

I have been pretty down on the live action remakes, but I am more on board with something like this, which bring new info/new story to the established "world"

Well if implementing those operations to reduce the guest experience, has led to 30% of the year becoming XMAS Day level crowds-I shudder to think what the crowds will be if they correct those.

It will be better. Because the people that have been coming were unsuspecting and would have come regardless of park operating hours. The crowds may scare of locals, but people are coming on their trips either way. If park hours were significantly longer, then FP availability would be much easier and the same number of people would be spread out over a longer period of time, leaving more time early and late in the day for empty parks.

I didn't realize this was something they normally cancelled for cold weather. I don't remember ever seeing the announcement for this like we do for the water parks.

They cancel this all the time for weather.

I can see that. I think the parties are here to stay and take park hours away further though. Sell out rather quickly.
