Haunted Mansion at MK Closed for Renovations

The Haunted Mansion at the Magic Kingdom has been closed down for a 3-month renovation project.

Disney plans its first major overhaul of the popular Humor-driven attraction this summer, including technology updates and a few new ghosts. The ride closed Wednesday and should reopen by mid-September.

Ride designers are promising revisions consistent with those made recently at other "classic" Magic Kingdom attractions such as the Pirates of the Caribbean ride last year and the It's a Small World ride the year before -- enhancing effects without altering the story or traditional features.


I'm glad we got to ride it while we were there last week. Not only that, if things go on schedule, we might be able to see the newly-renovated Haunted Mansion when we go back there in late Sept.
