I think when crowds are thin, it should be shut off, to keep things moving!

Which it sounds like they noticed and changed for this version by widening the queue. :D

If I could then the laws of physics would kick in and that wouldn't be good.

The blinking grave is interactive enough for me! I vote for leave it alone. We don't need EVERYTHING in life to be interactive!

I'm not against the idea of interactive queues in general, but in the case of Haunted Mansion it seems like they're trying to fix something that isn't broken.

The kind of interactive queue I would like to see is one where people who stand there oblivious to the fact the line has moved would get a small shock to bring them back to reality and make them move forward. That would be interactive enough for me. :wink: :mickey:

My sentiments exactly! I was fixing to type almost exactly the same thing until I saw your post!

Good one mindflipper! I bet you could get lots of support for this one. Disney legal probably would not like it though :roll:

Dear Disney,

Haunted Mansion does not need any type of changes. It is perfectly fine the way it is.

I doubt they would remove the gravestones.

It all seems kinda silly because the haunted mansion line isn't very long...
