The New Hitchhiking Ghosts

[mindflipper]

But remember, that ghost doesn't stay with you forever. "..will haunt you until you return."

So he goes back the next time you go back and you pick up a new ghost when you leave that time.

Here is a SPOILER ALERT on the end of the ride, if you want...

Wait... they are making updates to the ride using interactive tech (it sounds like they are using interactive projections) and there isn't a riot here?

We don't dislike change......It's bad changes we don't want to see!!

Do you actually read through any post?

The mirrrors will still be there, they're just changing how that scene works. No different than what they did with Constance in the attic, or with Leota's floating crystal ball, or adding Jack Sparrow to POTC: it's taking what's there, and finding a way to update it with better technology. There are going to be some who will hate it, others who will love it, and then others who will be oblivious to it. The question to me is how good and reliable is that technology. Spaceship Earth has that facial recognition software, but sometimes it is very poor at cropping the face to be used later in the video cartoon of the future. I just hope whatever "interactive" technology is more thoroughly tested than that was.

I admit I was lukewarm about the new tombs because that was creating something new that hadn't been there before. It was not technology upgrade like they're doing with the mirrors, but placing something new altogether. But they retained the already existing tombstones, added some new ones to give credit to those who were not previously credited, and used some ideas that were never used before (like the Sea Captain).

I'd say blame the developers for it since disney only buys tech they don't waste the time to develop it.

I have a buddy who spent 6 months (literally, every work day. There is a tech manual at EPCOT the bares his name. It's called *** fixes. I can't use his name, he wouldn't want that!)) fixing SE after the contractors left! I could write several pages on the subject

Thanks! I'll remember to tell her this next trip (so that she doesn't think we're collecting ).

That's not surprising, Disney's used other companies tech from day 1 and sometimes it doesn't work outside of lab conditions. I was reading about the Jaws attraction at Universal Orlando and apparently the big effect where Jaws grabs the boat and "flings" it across the lagoon had so man problems once the ride opened they had to redo part of the ride.

If the mansion can hold a collection of 1,000 ghosts - how many could your house hold?

[Jacca5660]

My house is in the middle of what was an 1865 Thanksgiving week Civil War battle field. I think we have a few (500+) ghost that live 9Is that the correct word?) around here. That's if you listen to the stories.

If they can pull off those changes...that would be amazing. And it would definitely make me get serious about getting back down there ASAP!

Let's see how well the whole new Mirror area works...(hopefully get someone to do a trip report after it opens)...

I got to preview it yesterday guys and I can't say much because I don't want to get in any type of trouble but I must say I liked it and was very impressed
