Maybe upgrading the HHG to Anaheim levels? That would be a smaller job but equally welcome.

That, I would like very much and remove the interactive queue as well, please. They will likely need to remove the dread family anyway to satisfy the same rationale they supposedly changed the bride for as well as the potential change to the stretching room.

Should just go back to the original enhanced with today’s technology. She’s silent & sinister, so much more foreboding of a presence and fitting of the ambiance for an haunted attic scene in that context, she isn’t supposed to be a sad, sympathetic bride. Not entirely sure why that’s such a hard concept for folks within Disney currently to understand. If the complaint is that the original was better, was popular the way she was, and should revert back to what it was. Wouldn’t that be the best solution to implement? I’m just sayin’..

As with many of the cool thing's DL gets that we don't, we will never get it because management is too paranoid about having any rides closed during the vacations of the millions of supposed one-time visitors who will be upset. DL does not have to worry about this because of the amount of local repeat business they have. That being said as I pointed out in my attic article the reason WDW's current incarnation of the black-widow bride looks so much better than DL's former incarnation is because in addition to being slightly visually improved is it has not moved an inch since 2007. DL's had to be un-installed and re-installed on a yearly basis and they were rarely able to get the projection lined up well enough to be truly convincing. Meanwhile, the new bride in DL needs to have her area visually blocked off for the Holiday version and the positioning of the giant toy snake in the HMH version of the Attic scene needed to be changed to accommodate this.

I have had a theory for a while now that disney plans to overhaul the entrance to haunted mansion so that its in villains land. This way they can convert the current que into a combination of walkway for villains land and a new photo op area in front of the haunted mansion. They will also move momento mori to villains land as well as the current location is too small compared to their plans to expand it. This has been in the works as haunted mansion has seen significant increase in que volume to the extent that it disrupts the flow of traffic. The original designers also did not envision the possibility of people having their photo taken in front of the haunted mansion could be monetized. The overhaul of the que is still a couple years out which is why the que is being left alone but eventually we will be seeing reports for haunted mansion to go down for an extensive period of time as villains land gets close to completion. That is when they will begin the demo to build the new que for haunted mansion. When villains land opens it will also be the reopening of haunted mansion but with a much larger que that will allow for larger volumes of crowds in the que as well as other enhancements. The current que will become a walkway heading to villains land and photo op area with a smaller que for having your photo in front of the haunted mansion as well as the phantom coach. This will also break the bottleneck around haunted mansion as crowds heading in and out will be seperate from each other thus reducing crowding in the area.

And where would that new queue be?
