Haunted Mansion Refurb.

[SSG]

The Haunted Mansion attraction will undergo a two-month-plus refurbishment in early 2020 after the venerable 50-year-old Disneyland dark ride finishes up its “The Nightmare Before Christmas”-themed seasonal holiday run.

The Haunted Mansion will undergo a scheduled refurbishment beginning Jan. 21 after the attraction’s holiday overlay is removed, Disneyland officials said.

The Haunted Mansion will return in spring after the interiors and exteriors are refreshed and some attraction mechanics are refurbished, Disneyland officials said.

The work will include paint and trim on the interior and exterior of the attraction along with lighting and mechanical work inside the ride building. The renovated ride will look refreshed, but no visual changes are expected to be made to the attraction.

The Haunted Mansion becomes the third Disneyland attraction to undergo an extended refurbishment in 2020. Snow White’s Scary Adventures and the Indiana Jones Adventure thrill ride will also be over…

It will reopen just in time to get ready to be closed for the Christmas version again.

I heard some interior stuff was damaged during installation of HMH this year, maybe that's factoring into this.

I just heard that Disney is looking for Paranormal experts to help with the refurbishment.

It is about time they started to fix that ride up. Everything always looks worst after the HMH take down. Maybe they will replace the missing ceiling tiles from the grave yard? I hope they fix the sound. It's always off or patchy after the take down. The lighting is always messed up too.

I don't notice the damage as much as other people apparently do, but a refresh of everything is fine by me. The last time I rode, the automatic door knockers were inoperable or barely clacking, the heads weren't popping up and tombstones weren't wobbling. All obvious rudimentary effects that should be working.

I just wish they'd return the Attic to before the change that added the PPP (perfectly placed portraits).

If the HMH installation is causing so much damage, then... oh, I don't know... maybe STOP IT.

Tokyo doesn't have the same issue every time they take down the Xmas decorations.

I think they should just hire Japanese people to do the job.

Glad to see my Mansion get some TLC. Now, let this be the last time they do HMH

It comes down to the same type of people that can't keep a new ride running for more than hour a day.

Was hoping they include the Hitchhiking Ghost interaction scene like in Orlando’s version.

A big part of the problem is that the Holiday install team is asked to do the install/removal in increasingly shorter and shorter windows. This year the install was limited to 10 days, if I recall correctly, when in past years they have had 18. When there's a deadline that tight breathing down your neck, chipped paint and damaged ceiling tiles just become collateral damage.

I swear to f@@@@ing God!!, IF THEY INSTALL THE ON RIDE PHOTO OPP LIKE THEY DID IN FLORIDA DURING THIS REFURB, I WILL RIOT LIKE HELL HATH NO FURY!!!!!!! THEY BETTER NOT!!!!! KEEP THAT CRAP IN FLORIDA!

All ghosts to be replaced by the “force ghosts” of dead Star Wars characters.

Leaving the Mansion a mess after the take down isn't new. It's left as a disaster since they started the overlay over fifteen years ago.

During this refurb, they better re-route the queue so that you enter the Mansion from the FRONT DOOR!!! Entering the Haunted Mansion from the front door is an iconic experience, a rite of passage if you will, and the fact that for 50 years you've never been able to go through the front door... it's preposterous. Eddie Murphy goes through the front door in the iconic piece of film history The Haunted Mansion (2003), so why don't we? Cheapek better fix this or I'm cancelling Disney forever!!!
