Walt Disney World Haunted Mansion Interactive Queue: Detailed Look – Photos and HD Video

Hi everyone!

The new Haunted Mansion interactive queue has been open sporadically over the last few days – but we kept missing it! Today we braved the heavy crowds again (below, left) to try our luck. We were happy that it was open, we have photos and video of the entire queue. Upon entering the queue, there is a row of busts (below, right). The busts were being detailed yesterday while the queue was closed off to guests.

Each bust (below, left) has a plaque with the name of the departed and a short epitaph. I stopped to pose with them (below, right).

All of the original tombstones are back, including this tribute to Imagineer Marc Davis (below, left). A couple of shovels (one is below, right) have been left in the graveyard – we just aren’t sure what – or who – the shovels are waiting for!

There are two sides to the musical crypt (below, left), where guests can play with the various musical instruments (below, right). You can see me playing Grimm Grinning Ghosts in our video!

Guests try their hand at the ballroom organ (below, left), which has “Ravenscroft” inscribed on it, in tribute to voice actor Thurl Ravenscroft (below, right).

The Sea Captain is the central figure of the queue (below, left). He sings, sneezes, has bubbles rising from his crypt and more (below, right). Definitely stop for a few minutes and watch (but not too close unless you don’t mind getting wet).

Master Gracey’s tombstone (a tribute to Imagineer Yale Gracey) is nearby (below, left), it’s nice having it so close to take photos with (below, right).

This library has books that slide in and out of the wall (below, left), it is similar to the library in the Haunted Mansion. We were told that the symbols on the books (below, right) may mean something perhaps a crypt-o-gram similar to the writing at Disneyland’s Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Forbidden Eye attraction!

Guests look into this window to watch as the Poetess Prudence Pock writes magically (below, left). She seems to want answers for her questions, but it isn’t an interactive experience. Another new crypt pays tribute to Imagineers who had big parts in the Haunted Mansion’s creation including: voice actor Paul Frees (whose work included the Ghost Host), Imagineer Ken Anderson, sculptor Blaine Gibson, and Imagineer Rolly Crump (below, right).

Madame Leota (below, left) is back in her normal spot – along with a gargoyle next to her (below, right). There is still a green screen that separates her tombstone from the regular Haunted Mansion queue, but that should be gone soon.

On the other side of the Sea Captain’s crypt, you can see portholes (below, left). They don’t do anything, and we were told that the effects in the outside area are pretty much done except for a few minor tweaks. A butler and hostess confer with each other and keep the guests moving (below, right).

Video – Haunted Mansion Interactive Queue Detailed Tour 3/16/11 Walt Disney World – This is a 9 minute tour of the new interactive queue at the Haunted Mansion, Walt Disney World! You’ll see a lot of great features – the Sea Captain, interactive musical “instruments”, books that slide in and out of the wall and more.
