My Encounter with the Hatbox Ghost
Posted: May Fri 22, 2015 5:54 am
So last weekend, I made it to the original Magic Kingdom and at the top of my to-do list was to ride the Haunted Mansion to see the latest edition, the Hatbox Ghost.
I gotta tell you, the glimpse you get of him is exceedingly brief, and I only rode twice so I tended to focus on little details instead of the overall figure.
The face which I think uses that projection technology that has been in Audioanimitronic figures as of late. His face is very expressive and his eyes squint and look around. The illusion of his head being transferred to the Hatbox is very good, but there is a good chance that it will happen when your doombuggy is far from the figure, either approaching or leaving the attic. It is timed in such a way that very few have a good view of the illusion.
All in all, I am thrilled with the Hatbox Ghost, and look forward to my next encounter with him!
