LOL - you probably weren't asking seriously, but just in case: it's a makeshift see-saw, a plank upon which a king and queen are (per the Readalong record I had as a kid and still have practically memorized!) "teetering on a gravestone." It's here at roughly the 5:30 mark:What's a see saw doing in a graveyard in the first place?
I do hope every Haunted Mansion lover will check out that little record/book linked above at some point, because it explains a few things guests sometimes misinterpret about the attraction, such as what's happening when you go out the attic window and descend into the graveyard (not leaping to your death, as I've heard many guests inform their companions in hushed whispers, but escaping the attic by climbing out the window onto a balcony, and then down a tree). Of course, at the end of the day, the Haunted Mansion story is whatever each guest imagines and wants it to be, but even as a kid, I guess I was a stickler for interpreting things based on the source material!
You don’t see nearly 999 ghosts in the ride - it’s plenty easy to think this one has been off elsewhere in the Mansion that guests didn’t see.
Good news. Hopefully this means they noticed some more things they wanted to clean or fix so that the ride is better. In the grand scheme of things another day isnt a big thing unless this was your only day on your vacation that you could ride it. But I for one would rather them close it as long as needed to make it as good as possible (we know it wont be perfect or any huge changes, as its not enough time).Reopening from refurbishment delayed at the Haunted Mansion

"Dam the Hatbox Ghost stopped working, time to put the tarp back up."
We throw a tarp up in front of my Uncle Jim at family parties when he’s had 1 too many drinks and he starts talking about college, too. The toddlers start to get a bit frightened.
They're replacing the boarding conveyor belt, so yeah. Not very exciting. Just the means to allow you to board the doom buggie.
Surprised they wouldn't leave it broken and make you catch up with the buggies in betterment of guest's waistlines
Like mine? Yeah, I could use the extra exercise. Let's just say I'm being proactive about losing some pounds before a Disney cruise in October.
I thought they fired a few maintenance workers a few years ago when they "cleaned up" dust and cobwebs in the ballroom scene...
They can always hang some picket signs using fishing line and tell everyone the ghosts are striking in sympathy with the writers in Hollywood.
Mostly the ride stops to allow for guests who need extra time boarding. Guests have a tendency to mistake this for the ride "breaking down", but that ride system is actually pretty darn reliable for being 50+ years old.
I'm aware, thanks. It was definitely more than the usual slow down/temp stop to allow guests extra time to board.
How do you know for sure?
