its AWESOME!!!! i would have to say the circular room is now my fave part of the ride,the audio upgrade in there is phenomonal very deep rich bass now,the 360 sound is decent too

the stair chamber is pretty cool looking,but the again anything is better than looking at a few spiders lol

the attic i was a bit upset by..i loved the orginal and the way they redid it just eehh,had they of just kept the orginal bride and redid everything to its form now i wouldve been much happier

but all-in-all if you liked the original you surely wont be disappointed with the upgrade

Honestly.... Does it matter?? The Haunted Mansion was awesome as it was, but now is even better!! But as it is, don't let it make or break a vacation!

The key to this refurb was the fact that even though a couple new scenes and features were added, they were careful not to add TOO much, or change the classic theme of this ride in any way. The new HM looks fresher than ever, but still has its same original splendor.

If only they had used a similar approach back when they decided to refurb Journey into Imagination and the Tiki Room!

the only things that kind of bugs me about the refurb (which are still pretty little) is how the doom buggies don't face the coffin with the skeleton pushing up anymore, and the wall paper in the stretching rooms are like a christmasy green and red now. but other than these very small stupid details (that most people don't notice, it was an excellent refurbishment.

I agree that the changes made were all very well planned and executed.

In my opinion the "Escheresque" stairway scene is a huge improvement over the dated dark ride spiders.

They did right by the Haunted Mansion. They plussed the attraction and didn't take anything away from original.

OT - Now if you want to talk about a rehab I hated: Pirates of the Caribbean. Jack Sparrow and all references to the movie need to be removed and the ride returned to its former glory.
