Haunted Mansion Interactive Queue New Crypts UPDATED: Original Gravestones Spotted, Mickey’s Toontown Fair Demolition UPDATED: Storybook Circus – Photos & Video (Now in HD)

Hi everyone!

A quick Magic Kingdom update from this mornings visit. New crypts have been added to the Haunted Mansion interactive queue that is being built (below left and right), they are visible only from the Mark Twain and look amazing! The queue will be longer and zig-zag past these new elements before entering the Mansion.

A new gravestone is one of many (below, left). You can see the Sea Captain know from the original Haunted Mansion storyline (below, right) clearly being installed. Note his hat on the left and an ominous octopus tentacle in the lower left of the photo. We were told many of these set pieces will be interactive!

UPDATED: We returned to the Haunted Mansion yesterday and could see the Sea Captain from the queue along with the sea creatures (below, left). By far the most exciting addition we spotted was the return of some of the original gravestones! The gravestones for “Brother Dave” and “Good Friend Gordon” can both be seen in the photo below. We were quite sure these would return but it was still very exciting to start seeing them back again!

You can get a nice overview of the new crypts from above as well as the gravestones on the hill similar to the Disneyland Haunted Mansion graveyard (below, left). The Haunted Mansion is undergoing a lot of changes, including inside (below, right). We have heard the audio animatronic hitchhiking ghosts will return to the Mansion but in an upgraded form. The hitchhiking ghost projections running now will be in the mirrors with you when all is finished. It is a very exciting time for Haunted Mansion fans!

Video #1 – Haunted Mansion Interactive Queue Construction New Crypts 2/25/11 – There are new crypts in the upcoming interactive queue at the Haunted Mansion at Walt Disney World!

The left side of the Tomorrowland Speedway is now ripped up as it is shifted for Fantasyland expansion (below left and right).

UPDATED: Yesterday we spotted this new Storybook Circus sign (below) on the wall leading to the former Mickey’s Toontown Fair. The attractions are advertised as coming soon in 2012 and feature Pete’s Silly Sideshow, The Great Goofini and Dumbo The Flying Elephant.

Mickey’s Toontown Fair is already partially demolished (below left and right), we have the video here.

Goofy’s Barnstormer (below, left) will stay, but will be re-themed to the Great Goofini. Donald’s boat will likely be gone soon (below, right). It looks like both Mickey and Minnie’s houses are gone. Click HERE to for our coverage of the last night at Mickey’s Toontown Fair!

Video #2 – Mickey’s Toontown Fair Demolition from Walt Disney World Railroad 2/25/11 – Mickey’s Toontown Fair is now getting leveled, to make way for the new Fantasyland (it won’t be done in 6 months, just FYI!)
