My wife and I will arrive in Anaheim on 03/12. I wonder if some of the new changes have been made already....?

What? I could have sworn I read there where Haunted Mansion was gone. Bulldozed or turned into a parking lot or a marital dispute center or a lumberjack supply store or something.

Haunted Mansion ... gone .... Bulldozed or turned into a parking lot.

Whazziss?
I didn't get no memo on this!
They're going to bull-doze Johnny Depp and put in a Starbucks?
Am I on the Laying-Down-Of-Flowers Committee on this one???

sorry, I couldn't resist I had 2 humorous thoughts pass through my head while reading this, maybe I should start a poll where you can vote which you think is funnier:D

well,
back to the post at hand.
the effects wont all be turned on when the ride reopens in March,
due to financing issues the new effects will be on hold untill a later date

though, my personal opinion is that i am very exited
the ride felt as though it was getting quit stale
in fact i think i might have skipped it completely the last couple of trips
im just realy looking foward for these new effects

I'll be on it Thursday AND Friday!! Can't wait!! DH is so silly, thinks we are going to S. Ca for his birthday. NOPE!! I wanna ride HM!! LOL I haven't been on the REAL hm since 1992. Every time I have been there since then it has had the Nightmare Before Christmas overlay and while I think they do an excellent job, I just don't like that movie, LOL. Does anyone know when they will "flip the switch" on the new stuff? Doesn't matter to me on this trip cos I am going again in May but after that, won't be there until PROBABLY October. TIA!

If any of you are going to ride HM in the next weeks, the ride will be adding enhancements throughout the next two months.

DON'T EXPECT THE FULL STORYLINE CHANGE UNTIL APRIL!!!!!!!!!!!!

For more info on the storyline change see Horrible Changes to the mansion thread!

Okay.. no flaming but I am kinda bummed. My DS4 is going for his 5th Bday in May and has finally committed to going on Haunted Mansion (he has only been on HMH.. he has always been scared to try it until it was re-themed for xmas). I'm not too upset that he isn't seeing it in its original form... rather I am worried it is going to be a lot scarier and he'll freak out and that will be the end of my Haunted Mansion days. (I LOVE THAT RIDE and I want him to love it too so we can ride it 10 times a trip like we do with POTC). Please post updates as they are making the changes and let me know if the "scary factor" goes up significantly.
Thanks!

Don't worry. There are no changes planned. The OP is mistaken.

Don't play with my emotions!!! Glad to here no changes (yet). Right now it's not too scary.. well at least not to me. We'll see how a 5 year old does (ps.. mine is scared of EVERYTHING).

We will be there this weekend, but it wasnt planned as a trip to ride HM. It is simply the time I could get a great deal on airfare!

Am I the only one that thinks this "won't be turned on until April" may just be a way of hedging a bet?
If when the HM opens and the effects are not there it's because they won't be turned on yet. Then April comes around and no effects. The story becomes, "they were installed but not turned on because they couldn't get them to operate up to standards and may turn them on at a later date but probably not.
Call me a cynic, but I am hoping I'm wrong! (And hoping for the Hatbox Ghost returns!!!)
