Haunted Mansion Observations

[JohnD]

The hanging body in the Portrait Gallery has been removed. There is nothimg in the rafters as the lights go out. I guess its just as well. It was dead weight anyway.

Also I noticed what appears to be candlelight in the graveyard scene. Don't remember that before.

could they possibly be renovating (whatever) the portrait scene and bringing it back later?

Fingers crossed they install this as the new Ghost Host rafter reveal.

You can see the hanging body in this livestream from today at 20:00. What do you mean by candlelight in the graveyard?

Here's an article from last year concerning the haunted mansion that was rather intriguing:

Eerie New Effect Added to The Haunted Mansion Graveyard at Magic Kingdom

An eerie new lighting effect has been added to a hearse in the graveyard scene of The Haunted Mansion at Walt Disney World

I believe I read somewhere else that it may end up being removed or not being a focus of a room because of the picture's nature. I'm very sure Disney as a steward wants to look out for the health and safety of its guests. That's what I read regardless. I just read this and interpreted this..I don't know this as fact...Take care and have a most wonderful day!

There are two stretching rooms. One of them does not illuminate the rafters as well as the other. We noticed this a couple weeks ago when we thought the hanging man was removed. A subsequent visit (same stretching room) revealed he was indeed still there, just harder to see.

There tends to be bluish light in thete. A hearse and a dog are illumined by "candlelight" It jusr seemed bright to me.

The old guy just hanging around gives a whole new meaning to the line in the song about "a swinging wake."

I also thought it was gone because not only is the light dim but the effect goes by quickly and your eyes may not pick up on it. It definitely shows up better in one side than the other. There has been clamoring about Disney removing the effect due to the large number of suicides happening across the country. So far Disney is ignoring the calls for its removal.

FWIW, my group was there on the 17th for the party and when the part came to look up, it was almost entirely black. There MAY have been something there but there was no way to tell. Waaaay different than my last trip 6 years ago. Did NOT like all of the changes in the parks.

It's a dead issue.

p.s. I have it on good authority that his real name is Chad.

I guess still there. Bur they changed the ligjhtimg to make it less noticable. People may ask, "What 'my way'?"

...we're all just gonna ignore this. Okay.

It wasn’t exactly clear before. Many people don’t look up in the first place.
