It would look even better somewhere after the point in the ride where the ghosts materialize.

Looks like the artichoke is steamed.

I guess I need to go back to the Pixie Dust dispensary and refresh my supply so I can get high with you all. Is that how it works? I don't like it. Big deal. Some of y'all hate Beacons of Light, I think it's the best thing at Epcot in decades.

I'm sure Bob will thank y'all kindly when y'all run out and grab up the latest cheaply produced HBG merch.

I won’t be buying any merchandise. I think it’s hilarious you claim are so easily impressed but in the same vein talk about how we didn’t like Beacons of Magic. I am ambivalent to it. I also think Moana is a waste of space in Epcot.

So no, what you need to do is stop making broad, sweeping (insulting) comments about those of us who think something you don’t like is cool.

I'm bored with this discussion now. Cheerio chap!

 

[JenniferS]

That’s how all of us that actually appreciate great storytelling feel.

That sounds very elitist.

 

[flynnibus]

complex and can't be stated publicly.

Will national security be compromised? Is there a secret cia bunker in there?

 

[HMF]

If they can’t be stated publicly how do we really know that? I know people have said it’s impossible but I am not buying it. It wasn’t impossible it was just much cheaper and easier to put him by the endless hallway.

The reason I hear is to tie him into the stupid movie.

Small projects have small teams. Disney of late has been very aggressive when it comes to information getting out. Potentially getting someone fired seems like a real jerk move.

 

[Ayla]

I disagree. Adding another AA to HM is a very welcome move. And this one is very well done IMO.

I hope to god it looks better in person, because it's a disaster in photos/video.

 

[celluloid]

Anyone who looks at the vignette can instantly see how this was funded and tied to the movie.

Well if its a small team and randos on the internet are posting like they know but cant tell… well they’ve already compromised the team.

Of course you are. You got called out for your ridiculous responses, so much so you changed the one that started this exchange. But rather than saying “you’re right, poor choice of words, I apologize” you go the social media “I can never be wrong” route, claim your bored and done, place cute little hearts on it, and go change the wording.

Whatever.

Of course it was.

 

[celluloid]

Of course it was.

Be careful, we actually have a couple people here who claim to be insiders that it has no correlation!

Has there even been legit insiders on here since Spirit left and Lee has been MIA? Is Raven even around anymore?

 

[𝕴𝖒𝖆𝖌𝖎𝖓𝖊𝖊𝖗97]

For reference...and to continue speculating as to why the Hatbox Ghost couldn't go in the same place! I don't actually care, but I thought these maps might be interesting to look at!

 

[PaulZ]

Isn’t the area outside the attic at MK an emergency exit?

 

[Carnotaurus Understudy]

This project feels weird all-around, like a square peg forced into a round hole.

The type of HM superfan who would know the history of the Hatbox Ghost is also the type of person who would care about the scene composition of the endless hallway and/or the Leota Rule (TM). And, unlike other controversial additions (Guardians, Moana, etc), it's not like the general public will book a trip to see it.

Maybe they anticipated that the HM movie would be more popular, and they were too far into the project when the movie's audience failed to materialize?

 

[yensidtlaw1969]

Why does everyone keep saying he should have been placed exactly at the same spot as Disneyland? Anywhere in the attic before the bride would have worked.

No, it wouldn’t have.

 

[Scuttle]

No, it wouldn’t have.

Why? Because of an emergency exit? Give us some substance and stop pretending to be an insider that signed an NDA.
