Steve, your responses sound like you've gotten a chance to actually ride it. Are you over here in the states?

The wife took my phone but I snuck it back! Heh, heh.
I never did see that potential Hidden Mickey again. I saw it in one of the appearing footprints in the staircase scene directly above the buggies. Maybe it was just wishful thinking.
Also, on my last ride through, I spoke with a guy who claimed to be a design engineer. He's not a Disney CM but does contract work. He said he worked on the structure for the staircase scene and some behind the scenes work. He was riding it for the first time with his family he said.
Dang! My wife just caught me with the phone again! Bye!

Oh, I asked that contract guy about changes to HM after dark. He said he wasn't aware of any.

Ok good. But it's like 3D sound, isn't it?
yes, its really well done audio. You're in for a treat when you see (and hear) it.

Nope, you'll still have to go through the exit. As far as a special doom buggy, I don't believe so as my ride was stopped thanks to a spook.

The gargoyles do not come to life, nor will they. But, there are plenty of great added sound effects to not really need them!
I'll have video (regular and nightshot) along with a bunch of pictures (whoops, did my flash go off?) and binaural audio (to get the feeling of the new stretch room audio) very soon. Gimme an hour or three.
An hour or THREE!!! Come on Ricky I expected to come on here and have your video be the first one up and be able to download it to wow my friends and co-workers!

Yea, it was always there. LOL, hearing all these posts about them just adding that in made me feel crazy thinking it was there all along. I'm pretty sure it was because HM at WDW is the only one I've been in, so I couldn't have confused it for another.

They were still redirecting wheelchairs to the exit today. Nemo had to have wheelchair accessibility because of new laws. HM's Doombuggies are "grandfathered" in.
Nope.
I think PR was confused by the concept of the new audio in the Stretching Room which is AMAZING by the way!
Right
It sounded strange to me today, and now it's because I don't think I've ever heard it.

Oh goodness, it was absolutely amazing!!
The only thing I really didn't like was the corridor with the glowing eyes- they were cartoony and kind of lame.

I was wondering can you feel the bats in the attic? I heard there was going to be a effect that it seems like the bats were touching you or did the axe that effect?

A quick correction.
The queue line *is* now about 90% wheelchair accesible.
Castmembers were directing wheelchairs (all types and forms, including electric) through the regular line up to a certain point. From that point they are then brought through the exit as before, but now they travel through most of the line with everyone else.

I really liked the effect. I noticed that some where lights and others looked like they were video.

No bats touching you. Also, I agree with the eyes being pretty pathetic compared to the rest of the ride. Everything is so well done now, but those look like they were straight out of a carnival fun house.

I did not notice any such effect. The paintings were very creepy in the attic though. The sound effect of the bats in the first rooms are very convincing.

I don't know...I thought they just looked kind of cheesy...
However, I didn't notice that there was a video effect on some of them. That would bump it up a few notches in my book...I'll have to ride again soon and see!
