Has it been "buggy" since it began?

Has it been "buggy" since it began?
What hasn't had problems when it is the first time being tried?
We are all a little weird
And life's a little weird,
And when we find someone whose
Weirdness is compatible with ours,
We join up with them and fall in
Mutual weirdness and call it Love.”
― Dr. Seuss

I think all the renovations for HM (the queue and the ghosts) turned out totally fab! The queue in particular is amazing! :hm_ghost:

Now they just need a gift shop built somewhere... read about a year ago that they were considering doing a crypt-like one underground. The lack of HM merchandise thoroughly depresses me, as that ride has been a literal obsession of mine since we first went.

Yeah, that little cart outside the HM doesn't have a lot :( More HM merchandise would be great :hm_ghost:

I think the time I went to DLR and saw the HMH they had more merchandising for it than I've ever seen for the HM at WDW...

We have two stores devoted to HMH the cart (which switches over to HM during the off season) and Le Bat En Rouge, which usually sells nightmare stuff but then it just happens to become HMH in september. :D

It's always surprised me that this ride lacks merchandising, of all the ones that don't have any... :?

I've seen the new ghosts and they are really cool. But, isn't the park in danger of losing a lot more classic stuff replaced by new effects. As much as I love the new stuff theres always going to be that nostalgia of the classic stuff. Im kinda torn between having new stuff and keeping the old stuff that we all love.

The effects changed, but the fact is that the Hitchhiking Ghosts are still there, and in basic appearance look the same. I don't see it as a replacement - more of an upgrade...

That's why I was o.k. with it! I was worried they would've completely changed them, but I like the looks of the upgrade. It's like they made the "classic" better!

Some "Classic's" are begging for an upgrade:
