Disney World's Haunted Mansion Looks Much Different Today
Your next ride aboard Walt Disney World's Haunted Mansion will be a bit different. Check out the newest change.
Haunted Mansion
There is a loyal following of Disney fans for the beloved Haunted Mansion attraction. The idea of the Haunted Mansion varies at each Disney Park around the globe. From mansions to manors, this attraction is a favorite among many Disney guests.
Haunted Mansion was an opening day attraction at Magic Kingdom's Liberty Square and has received a few fun changes over the years. One of the most recent and notable changes brought the return of the Hatbox Ghost. This clever illusion is truly spell-binding.
There are many changes currently taking place throughout Walt Disney World. At the Magic Kingdom, a large expansion is taking place along the former Rivers of America and beyond Big Thunder Mountain Railroad for Villains Land.
Magic Kingdom Expansion
With these big changes, this has affected many locations around Magic Kingdom. Due to the progress on the new Cars-themed land at the former Rivers of America, construction walls now surround this space.
Although construction walls aren't very magical, they do pose another concern in that they block air flow. This greatly affected the outdoor standby queue for the Haunted Mansion.
This summer, Disney added additional fans to the outdoor queue of the Haunted Mansion to help increase air flow.
Haunted Mansion Changes
As work speeds up at Piston Peak which is replacing Tom Sawyer Island, even more construction walls are added at the Haunted Mansion.
Construction walls now hinder views in the Haunted Mansion outdoor queue.
These walls have been erected behind Madame Leota's tomb which blocks many of the other tombstones. As we anticipate the opening of a new land, these construction walls hinder some of the magic and immersion of our favorite Magic Kingdom attractions.
