I am not really into the new bride - I think it was great as it was.

I haven't read any articles about the changes in HM. I only heard the bride changed. I went on Sunday and saw the changes in the attic. I think they are quite good. To me, the story hasn't changed at all, other than, perhaps, we now know the bride killed her husbands by chopping they heads off with an axe.

I'm very stubborn about changes Disney has been making. I think they mess up too many good things. I hate the idea that they are adding Jack Sparrow into pirates, for example. But, I've always said Disney should update attractions with new technologies/effects. Haunted Mansion is now a perfect example of what I've wanted Disney to do. They have upgraded many effects without having to change the story, and the look fantatsic.

This is what attractions need. Imagine how cool Country Bear Jamboree would be if it used robots are articulate as Tom Morrow (Innoventions and Time Keeper). Picture Adventures Through Innerspace with projections on fog (Indy), hanging LEDs for those light burts, a much more realistic Eye looking at you.

Sigh.... Why can't I run Disney?

I don't know if this was asked or reported before. Why were the Tombstones taken out in the queue?

Most I think were taken out for when HM had a Fastpass line also to expand the line which unless it's very crowded (like I've been hearing that it's about an hour's wait to get onto it.) No one really uses that part of the line.
I've gone full circle on my avatars.

That's a little negative. Given, a lot of the Disney Corporation is just that...a Corporation centered around money. There are some people that keep the dream alive--creating new FAMILY experiences using not just new technology, but UNDISCOVERED technology.

That was a JOKE, partner. However, joke or not, there have been some horses' asses who have helmed the organization. Anyone remember Ron Miller? Nice guy, decent football player--terrible, terrible choice for CEO. Then again, he was Walt's son-in-law, so I guess he "inherited" the job.
