We've seen it in Soarin' and with Space Mountain's refurb... but now they are messing with the Haunted Mansion. How do you feel about this one?

i gave up on this ride during the last "good idea"/update, changing the heartbeat bride into a mass murderer. as far as i'm concerned, i prefer them consolidating all their bone head improvements into one ride. in this way hopefully, they won't ruin...er improve any other rides.

I don't like this at all! I will be really upset if they remove the gravestones! HM does not need an interactive queue. I don't care for the one on SM either! Why can't they leave the classics alone?!?! :evil:

I'm ok with it, it gives people something to interact with and since we aren't talking a registered historic landmark or musuem then we should not expect it to remain exactly the way it was when it opened. I mean honestly, can anyone really support that these changes harm the attraction?

If they take away the grave stone!!! Yes I can say it's harming the attraction!! Now I've asked you before, what department do you work for at Disney?

I don't think you've asked that question in that format before. Dir. of the Dept. of soul crushing. I'll just ad a little note to your file.

This doesn't sound like such a good idea. Especially if they take away the graveyard. The graveyard itself is somewhat interactive. I read the headstones. You read the headstones. We all read the headstones. That's interactive enough for me!

I agree, it is fun to read them. Unfortunately the younger generation (boy am I sounding old this morning :roll: ) don't necessarily take the time to enjoy the less technological side of life these days :(

At first, I did not think intereactive lines were a bad idea, but when we visisted and saw the new SM queue, I changed my mind! When the park at not loaded and the lines are thin, you have people stopping to play the games instead of moving ahead. Then you get the poeple that don't think they should pass those just standing and playing games, it gets annoying! I don't want to play games, I want to ride the rides. 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
