New unload projection effect at the Haunted Mansion

[jhastings74]

... but then again, just picture some of the people you've seen in the parks (or anywhere really) and it makes it easier to picture.

That is an excellent point, my friend...

I would have just put a bottomless pit on the other side, the screams of the falling would add to the overall effect of the mansion, and it would have thin out the herd .... to much? Would that be too extreme?

LOL! No, I don't think that'd be too extreme. I think it'd be perfect...and really add to the themeing...

IS this going to be added at rides such as IASW after it's refurbishment?

 

[LudwigVonDrake]

I swear that was there earlier this year starting in like June or July?!?! Was I just crazy or can anyone verify? Maybe they tested it for a short period?

It wasn't there in July when I was in WDW.

It reminds me of one of my favorite George Carlin quotes:

"Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that."

Excellent quote :lol:

You're just crazy LOL
It debuted this week. A test may have been possible, but it began full time this past week.

Actually, the effect was tested with guests on the night of the 28th during MNSSHP. Then, it debuted in full the next day, and has been pointing ever since. So it's been there for a little bit longer than that.

It debuted without the green "tint," which has only been there for a week or so now.

In general it works, but people still don't realize the ride is over, or they try exiting out to the right side. :shrug:

Couldnt they just have added a line about exiting to your left?

Sure, except that many, many guests are foreign visitors who cannot always understand english.

Ignoring the fact the vehcicles were already designed to have guests only go that way, It's great to see Glove from Yellow Submarine making an OSHA-endorsed appearance at the end of the ride.

:brick:

Ah, So THATS what that was.

I was on HM last week and I was not paying particular attention when we got into unload. (I think I was looking for something in my pockets) and out of the corner of my eye I saw a green flash on the car in front of me. I wondered what it was, and I hung out in unload for a bit and could see that there was a green light that would play over the backs of the buggies, but I could not see what it was. I assumed it was some sort of 'spooky' effect.

Kinda reminds me of the new projection effects that are to be used in TLM ride.... hmmmm...

 

[s8film40]

One of my favorite ride safety announcements is at the unload for Primeval Whirl, it continually repeats "Please stand before exiting". Although I have yet to see someone roll themselves out of the vehicle it wouldn't surprise me.

Shouldn't that projection be a two finger point?

 

[DocMcHulk]

Shouldn't that projection be a two finger point?

ohhhhh... good point!

 

[imagineer boy]

I like it! Sure its pandering to dumb guests, but at least they did a nice job with it.

Exactly! Natural Selection at it's finest! :lol:

Tell me about it. :dazzle:

 

[ToTBellHop]

I actually enjoy it...it serves a purpose but is also creepy (and sarcastic--appropriate from the Ghost Host). I approve. I actually think it's kind of funny.

I have, and it did not end well for the poor woman.

True story.

 

[thelookingglass]

I like it, but I also do think its kind of pointless since you basically can't go out the other way. But it also may help those who don't speak English understand that its time to get out.

 

[Uncle Lupe]

I like it. Maybe they could tweak it to use a skeleton hand.

This effect was there and working while I was in WDW between Sept 24 - Oct 5th, But the finger was White when we were in the HM, I think its an easy and neat effect..
