Just the reality of the timing. It’s been well known that they never took the overlay down inside, simply due to timeline of this project.

While running HMH when it reopens is dumb, it's not like this is new information.

It will help them skirt the changes under the radar. If the hanging scene is revealed to be gone and cartoon HHG in mid/late January, there will be less gnashing of teeth. So get the fan-favourite version in there to soak up the crowds and then sneak the controversial changes in a deader time.

Planter Policeman here. Unfortunately, it appears to me from the photo below, that they have indeed kept the artificial turf
. Does this mean this is the final version of the front yard that will be opening with Classic Mansion early next year? No. But not a great sign. With what said, it’s also been scorching out here in So Cal for the last few weeks so they probably wouldn’t choose to go real grass now, especially since the area is still a construction zone. Ok maybe this is a false alarm. Everyone please go back to your regular programming and stop wasting tax payers dollars calling me for this kind of stuff.
See artificial turf circled in red:
Resolution isn’t great here. It’s a bit better on my laptop looking at the image on X. It’s still hard to tell but appears to be very flat and artificial.

This is powerful knowledge that must be used wisely.
I wonder if they'll change their minds about replacing the practical HHG effect with a digital effect.

Sounds like Rise of the Resistance all over again. If you didn't press the button fast enough at 7am, you aren't going on HMH at all this year. Wait until they put it on Lightening Lane for $25 a shot.

Cept for Haunted Mansion has almost double the hourly capacity and much more reliable.

Its why I didn't visit the parks while Rise was on a lottery. If I can't get into line and wait to ride, I'm not going to spend $150 to play the lotto to see what I can't ride that day.

Doesn't mean your getting into the lottery virtual queue.

I'll be very interested to see how they manage this. As we know there will be very limited outdoor queue space, so they'll need to constantly be calling groups.
The group numbers for this attraction could be some of the highest we've seen for any VQ. (which i expect @gerarar to definitively declare)

Weird, I didn't get this ping/notification! Just happened to see this while browsing through the forums here lol.
I don't usually track DL VQs, but will probably look out for it. Did so for the first couple days of MMRR's short-lived VQ.
