I am definitely one who for a long while would have agreed with this. The 5th Dimension scene is hokey. Instead of again messing with Pirates of the Caribbean or The Haunted Mansion, that’s a scene that should be plussed with better effects. I’ve also though grown to appreciate it more over the years and become more bothered by the hallway entrance of the second generation.It was more cost effective and greatly improved the pace of the attraction. They also redesigned the attraction to focus on the ghost story rather than the TV shows iconography. The WDW version feels like the hotel has a portal into a specific kitschy TV show whereas future versions feel like we are in an episode of that TV show featuring an original tale.
That though doesn’t change the fact that the decision to make the change was very much driven by costs and the constraints under which Euro Disney SCA was operating.
