Sneak peek of new interactive Haunted Mansion queue

Last week, Disney provided a sneak peek into the developments in the new interactive queue area for the Haunted Mansion. Disney Imagineers Eric Goodman and Pete Carsillo take you through a look at just some of the new features of the expanded area, including a close-up look at the Decomposing Composer's Crypt, with its interactive instruments. Some of the gravestones formerly seen in the "graveyard" adjacent to the old queue now appear in new locations (some of which seem incongruent for a grave marker, as there's no room for a body underneath), and there's a new wall of crypts with inscriptions honoring those who worked on the creation of the Haunted Mansion. One interesting new feature of the queue is a hidden cryptogram puzzle. If you're planning on visiting the attraction in the near future, you may want to save the puzzle to solve on your own. If you can't wait, Ricky Brigante of Inside the Magic has solved it for you. Ricky does a nice job of exposing the puzzle in layers, so you can see as much as you want without completely spoiling it, if you like.

Some of the markers moved from the Haunted Mansion's old graveyard (such as Master Gracey at center) are placed on plots of ground too small to believe that a body is buried beneath them. Photo by J. Jeff Kober.

Look for the new queue to officially open around the end of the month. Attention Foolish Mortals: Walt Disney Imagineering has an exclusive first look at the new interactive queue being added to the Haunted Mansion attraction Magic Kingdom Park - and it’s something you’ll want to check out. http://www.viddler.com/explore/disneyparks/videos/718/
