Blu-ray.com (http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=1356) has additional description of the feature:


What's This? Jack's Haunted Mansion Holiday Tour – Viewers choose the way they want to tour Disneyland's Holiday Haunted Mansion. "On Track" explores a tricked-out version of the Haunted Mansion, while "Off Track" reveals what went into creating all the creepy fun.

Ultimate Disney claims they have the cover art (http://www.ultimatedisney.com/coverart.html#aug26), which doesn't look all that clever, or even final to me.

And finally, The Digital Bits (http://www.thedigitalbits.com/#nightmare) has a description of an Ultimate Collector's DVD Gift Set:


...there will also be an Ultimate Collector's DVD Gift Set (SRP $179.99) that will include the 3-disc DVD set plus "an individually numbered hand-painted bust of Jack Skellington in all his gory glory equipped with a Jack's 'Sandy Claws' hat and beard, a sound chip that plays memorable lines from the film and a letter of authenticity.

Sweet, my son has been looking forward to the re-release of this movie, we didn't pick it up the last time it was available. Bonus of HMH is even better, as we seem to be in the minority (maybe not) of people who really like HMH.

A co-worker told me last Halloween that his search for a copy of the DVD turned up fruitless. One store told him it was simply a hard DVD to find. Buyt I'm sure more DVDs will turn up in used DVD stores after their owners upgrade to the new version! :)

The high definition trailer for TNBC on several existing Disney BR discs (Narnia, National Treasure) looks stunning.

The existing DVD, being a non-anamorphic letterboxed title, has always looked pretty poor, so getting this in BR is a double whammy in terms of improved picture quality.

If you own a widescreen TV, I would not worry about finding/buying the existing DVD. Wait for the new release, as it will almost certainly trounce the old release in terms of picture quality.

And being someone that really does like the Nightmare HM overlay, the interactive ride through is almost reason enough to by the new release.
