New Haunted Mansion changes *SPOILERS*

[quote="Therewasatime"]I think this is a realy great addition to the mansion. I really like that the parks are looking more into developing a storyline for it. [/quote]

I wish there wasn't. To me Costantine's role is that of a guest. Nothing more, nothing less.

Ahhhhh...I see.
In that case, I don't think the changes to the bride affect the overall story. Actually, if you pick it apart and atomize it, the bride is just one of several stories. -just one chapter in a huge novel, if you will. I'm sure there is a story for all 999 spirits counted in the mansion. -or at least for all the prominently displayed ones. The rest would be folklore or fan speculation.

Constance.....Constance...not Constantine (that's a really bad Keano Reeves movie) Wink

hahaha for a second i was like, wait, who's constantine?! constantine is a boy's name. Smile

like...constantine the great.

ps -

what i glimpsed of the portraits look really cool. i actually like what i've seen of the bride. but...i think it's gonna date itself faster than madame leota's eye makeup. Smile

that and in the video, her chest is glinting disconcertingly. haha.

Curently this is the first of many changes coming to the mansion at least proposed changes...The mansion will be getting spookier and dialog is rumored to be changing.....

BUT...I dont this thread to go into the direction of nitpicking EVERY change...the population of other websites have that over-analytical and crazed lunacy covered quite well Wink

(meant all in good fun).

I agree. Best to avoid that at all costs.

One last question... Are these changes in addition to the rumored HHG improvements?

The HHG improvements have been canceled...for various reasons...at least for now. From what I hear there was a big reliability factor and no "backup plan" should the effect go down...This decision came some time ago.

Don't expect much for a big HMH changeover...apparently all the plans are being scrapped one after another...

thats' about as far as I'm comfortable with going right now...I'd like to respect the magic and leave the muckraking gossip hounds to the rest.

i hope it doesn't get "too" scary...part of what I enjoy about the mansion is its lightheartedness...

Many things to look forward to seeing

: )

lol. so i showed video of the 'new' attic to my brother, who is an industrial archaeologist. he informed me that the axe the bride holds is of a type known as a 'roofer's axe,' and is the same type lizze borden (the axe murderess) was supposed to have used. at least, in her most famous portrait, she's depicted with one.

lmao i know! my brother's always good for little esoteric disney detail type stuff. when he came back from digging in honduras, he was like, 'omg, they have those squeaky jungle cruise birds there!' hehehe.

he can also point out all the old mining equipment around grizzly river rapids and big thunder mountain and stuff. it's pretty funny.
