Haunted Mansion Changes
The Haunted Mansion recently came up from a short rehab. Reader ChrisFoxx was kind enough to allow us to use this list of changes:

• The lights on the busts illusion are dimmer.
• In the load area the lights have been turned up a bit to help guests see what they're doing.
• All throughout the ride they've re-cobwebbed and dusted.
• In the seance room there are now four different colored lights centered on Madame Leota, so her table now changes colors as it swings from side to side.
• An open book now sits on Madame Leota's table
• The bride has been repainted with brighter paints so her face and hands are no longer black... in fact, they're white. She is also lit a little less dimly and thus glows not quite as much.
• The singing busts are slightly green now.
• The faces in the tea party in the graveyard have been repainted for greater definition. and the shimmering spirit inside the crypt near the opera singers is gone.
• Little Leota's projector has been spruced up a bit - she's sharper than ever but still slightly rotated.

Thank you for the list. For more on the Haunted Mansion from this expert, visit www.grimghosts.com.
