Changes to The Haunted Mansion part 2


The Loading Area 

1st version

The load area is now a half-house half-outdoors room, a sort of border between our world and the Other Side. The ceiling and walls become transparent and wirey before fading into the crisp night sky. The carpet beneath morphs into a cobblestone path.

The right side of the wall will be furnished with fading wallpaper, with exposed wooden beams and sconces that look similar to the ones in the exit crypt, only they move when guests pass them by.   


A small graveyard appears alongside the trail, done in a german expressionist style film, and across the doombuggy track to a lesser extent. One can vaguely see ghostly figures trying to materialize, bats fly in the night sky, as a wolf howls at the moon. 

2nd Version
The empty void will be decorated into a grand two story library. Books fly from shelf to shelf, a couple of invisible spirits will wright down on feathered quill or turing the pages of a book. 

Once guests board their doom buggies, they will notice a shadow following them upstairs. 


The Endless Hallway 
The Hallway will have a new effect, that will project a fast moving image of a spirit jumping from door to door. The Knight's armored head will turn, as if he is keeping an eye on guests. While Ghost Host's line about hot and cold running chills you would feel a really hot wind followed by a really cold wind right afterwards.

The Conservatory  
The Conservatory will be added some new flowers, some fresh and some decaying.  The windows will host a rain effect, adorned with black curtains and a view of the cemetery. 

Corridor of Doors
Two new effects will display a spirit bulging through the door knocker, similar to A Christmas Carol, and a hand trying to reach the door handle. Along with new auto effects of moans and screams.
Guests will pass through a series of vintage family photographs that appear normal at first, but will morph into corpses and ghouls right before their eyes. Among the photos is the portrait of the middle aged September. 

While guests pass by the grandfather clock, the eyes of the wallpaper light up an eerie green in color and blink, just like they do at Phantom Manor.
