Haunted Mansion Bride & Other Changes Coming To MK?

[Raineman]

So, they are changing the bride in the attic in HM at DL back to the glowing heart version that was originally in the attraction. It also sounds like they are removing any reference to the bride un-aliving her husbands. I think we can assume the same changes will be made at the MK version. My worry with this is that the hanging scene in the stretching room might be next on the chopping block. Have any of our resident insiders heard anything?

i saw a pic of the new bride from disneyland’s HM. if it’s legit, i have no problem with that being incorporated in disneyworld’s version.

Honestly the current bride looks terrible so I'd happily welcome back the old bride. If I had to guess I'd say the stretching room scene will change as well.

"Unaliving"? Are we not allowed to say "killing" here?

Anyway, no love for the current bride from me, it's the worst part of the ride. I'm not super into the replacement, but I'd be okay with it.

Leave the Stretching Room alone.

Due to the reasoning why Disneyland replaced the bride it’s very likely to happen at MK. The new bride looks cool so I’m all for it.

I don't really care for this new bride. Whilst Constance isn't perfect, she's engaging with the guests, she's threatening and menacing, she's looking at you, she's talking, she's moving, her dress is blowing, it's obvious she is a bride.

This new one is just.. there. She's just a static blob of glowing white, looking upwards. Not threatening, not engaging, not moving, not giving anything really.

I wish they would just get all the interactive line elements working again. Last time we were there nothing seemed to work.

If they’re already working in the attic, they really need to move the hatbox ghost where he belongs. Even if that means moving him inside the attic where he used to be in 1969 at Disneyland, he really disrupts the attraction by being in the hallway scene. I think it was said somewhere that the balcony scene like at DL wouldn’t work here because of a structural or building code issue (if I remember correctly), so at least moving him to the attic would help things make more sense.

If there’s no room they could actually move the bride to the halfway point of the attic where the piano is at DL and then put him in the corner to your right at the end of the scene. This is actually the 1969 California attic configuration if I remember correctly.

If they also change the hitchhikers to match the new DL digital versions instead of the cartoony ones that are there now it will be a big improvement.

I think WDW’s mansion could easily be the definitive version with the longer layout and greater detail, but it’s being held back by the cartoony hitchhikers, unpopular bride, and horrific placement of the hatbox ghost.

I hate to say it.....But, why does her face give an AI-ish vibe???

She looks like a Who.

She looks like a Who.

Forget Nightmare Before Christmas, they need to cut a deal to make HMH a Grinch overlay! At the end Jim Carrey gives every doom buggy an onion

I find this interview from LA Times very informative:

The change is intentional to change the storyline, and now the bride is somebody who witnessed many of her husbands to pass away leaving her alone and didn't know why it happened to them, and sort of became the biggest victim of the Haunted Mansion.

That's great and all but Imagineering didn't "convey that" in her design.

It' not very apparent that's the case, they didn't do a good job explaining that anywhere. Still, a killer bride or 'black widow' is far more interesting and scary story wise.

Another stupid change and stupid concept. Murdering her husbands was much more "Haunted Mansion" style and I think we can all be OK with a little murder in our ghost stories.
